5 Habits That Make You LESS Attractive 

Hi everyone! We're doing something different this year. In an effort to bring a physical piece of psych2go to you, we have a patreon where you can get physical copies of our quarterly magazines: www.Patreon.com/psych2gomagazine Feel free to check it out and if you have any questions, email Imogen@psych2go.net

Feels kinda bad to admit, but I do have to force myself to spend time with friends sometimes just to make sure I'm not losing touch, even though it's a lot more comfortable to be alone.

heavily disagree with the connotations of the thumbnail lmaooo

it’s not just a beautiful face that makes us attractive so true like we need to love ourselves of how we are cause nothing can change that personality under us

Timestamps: 0:26 I'll go next time! (Avoiding meeting up with people) 1:18 Look at me! (Being percieved as too full of yourself) 2:13 2 A.M. club (Sleep deprivation) 2:52 Glass half empty (Acting or being pessimistic) 3:40 Non - pickup lines (sexist or offensive jokes)

The overly confident one made me laugh not in bad way more like what if this happened to someone

“Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That’s freedom.” - Demi Moore

As an introvert, I'm definitely number 1. Outside school, my friends invite me to drink and all that, so I can't avoid to say "no thanks, I'm not into that" so yeah, I mean I'd try but I don't like doing the things they do at those places, excessive drinking and making out with many strangers 😬, I do feel like I'm exaggerating and that maybe if I go I don't have to do those things, but I still say no 😢

Body hair isn't an unattractive habit for anyone despite what the thumbnail would have you believe. Edit: It’s cute how y’all need to freak out and remind me that opinion is in fact an opinion. Reminder, I don’t care about your opinions and that’s a fact.

the thumbnail is so different compared to the actual video lol

Get someone who loves you no matter if you , shaved or not.

Going through a really hard time right now. My dads cancer has returned after a year but this time there’s nothing the doctors can do. He’s only got a certain amount of time left, and I’m spending as much time with him as I can. I’m trying to occupy myself and stay positive right now cause I also have to focus on graduating high school this semester. Your videos always help me figure out my mental health needs, I appreciate it! Edit: He passed away on March 7th, 2023.

The strange thing in contrast to this video about optimism being more favorable: I as a person find it super grating to have either optimism or pessimism. I've been on all sides. I can at least relate more to pessimism due to my depression and anxiety and years of abuse. But the optimism where someone just tells you without a doubt that everything will be okay. You'll be fine. And all that stuff.. Makes me so pissed off... I'd rather someone say something like: you don't know that, it might just go well. Or, you'll be fine, people don't exactly have that much time and energy to put into trying to track you down and hurt you --(even though IRL that's happened to me in college where they did literally say they would hunt me down in my new school).

Body hair is natural for everyone and we shouldnt make ppl feel ashamed for having it, even if people do find it unattractive. We should move to make ppl feel comfortable n their own skin

0:27 - “I’ll go next time!” 1:20 - “Look at me!” 2:14 - 2 A.M. club 2:53 - Glass half empty 3:41 - Non pick-up lines

Hey ❤ just letting you know that what I took from the thumbnail is that it's saying people who don't shave every day are unattractive, was this on purpose? Edit: In my opinion for all of those people with lower confidence, love shouldn't always be based on attractiveness, but on yours and the other person's emotions and kindness!

Havent done this in a while so... Here are the ✨Timestamps ✨ 0:26 "i will go next time" 1:18 "look at me!" 1:59 "i'm a really good student-" 2:14 2 A.M club 2:53 glass half empty 3:40 non pick up lines

Raise your hand if you've been watching Psych2Go for a long time🤚

honestly your videos make me happier and just help me. And yes i remember my first day of going back to school, worst but best thing when i commented. Thank you very much:]

One more thing I can add to this list is looking serious. I have heard this from multiple women before. Of course they said this was before they knew me. They said that I looked too serious. But I don't really like engaging in small talk with people I rarely know. 😅

I'M HERE TO DEFEND MY ARM PIT HAIR

For me I don't post at all on social media, so it would be cool to show some confidence. I just don't know what to post? Lately my sleep schedule has been a little bad. Sleeping around at 4am. Yesterday I said "maybe next time". My attractiveness is going out the window 😅 haha

the thumbnail gives off mixed feelings …

bold of you to assume i WANT to be attractive

Love your videos! I would love to see more on serious mental illnesses like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as those are more often misunderstood (and perhaps less common ones that have been given less attention).

unfortunately, being pessimistic is a personality trait of those of us who suffer from depression, it is our way of seeing the world and it is very difficult to change; and getting rejected for it only makes it worse. I don't see a realistic solution to that. :(

Ah yes, psych2go shaming natural body hair in the thumbnail of this video

I have armpit hair and I feel awesome 😎

Psychgo talking about the 2am club: “if this sounds like you, maybe you should rethink this habit” Me: *watching this at 4:30am*

Sometimes people can change, you must love yourself and others around you. It doesn't matter how you look, just how you act and show yourself. Never be afraid to show yourself to the world!

I have health issues (that cause a lot of pain). So I often have to spend a lot of time at home relaxing and recovering. It also causes me to have to cancel often. Unfortunately its caused people to stop inviting me. I could have pushed myself to go more often than I did. I let the fear of the pain control me and now I'm alone. Trying to work in myself and change my life.

Food For Thought: You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.

I love being alone and cherish my time alone, so number one is definitely a problem for me. I still enjoy people’s company, but can’t do it for long. Hence, the single life 😂.

Oh my gosh, I really hope some people hear about the sexist jokes one. I used to like this guy, but after a couple months he started making sexist and or offensive jokes to me, and let me tell you it is a huge no-no. I unintentionally started to dislike him and can totally blame it on that. 😅

Saving this for storywriting purposes! 💖 Thank you, P2G!

I accepted that I will never be in a relationship with Anyone & I have stopped trying.

It's relieving and eye-opening at the same time to know my only habit out of these is a bad sleep schedule.

I was literally wondering about that topic

Your voice is so calm and soothing omg I love it ! I could listen to it for hours

i love your videos, they all helped me a lot! thank u sm! ^^

Thank you for the information this helped me out a lot

YAY A NEW VIDEO!!💕💕

thx for the help! very entertaining and very informational to watch and learn! ( :

LEAVE ME AND MY ARMPIT HAIR ALON 😭😭😭

Ah, perfect timing for another psych2go video.

Now when I look myself in the mirror.. I see the changes which I have made within myself 1.look upright and speak with firm & confidence. 2.Do not pretend to act. 3.Act the way I am without pretending. 4.Accept the faults within myself. 5.Not regretting or exaggerating about things which occurred in past. 6.Valuing people who prioritise me. 7.Learning to accept why certain events/things didn't work out. 8.Take the lead and command the group. 9.Take risks. 10.Forgive people with a clean and honest heart.

Really great video! I started trying some of your tips and tricks and now I'm more unattractive than ever! 10/10 would be unattractive again

As a hsp, I can relate to the first one maybe too much. I don’t like hanging out and being social at all after for example school, I just want to be alone.

Thx psyhtogo for the information

0:34 Bold of you to assume people even invite me to hang out

Love how the background music is fitting for this topic!

Your cowoerkers are not your friends. If push comes to shove they will throw you to the wolves to save their job. Spend time with your friends if you want to socialise and keep work as work. Also have your friends hold you accountable to go out at least for dinner, sports or a coffee once a week if you tend to isolate.

1. As a introvert I am rarely interested in meeting up with people irl and I will never be the first person to suggest it. I don't want the extra attention most get from socializing often. Never really went to many parties and I declined most invites. Some people just don't go out often, it is nothing personal. Just assume someone like that may be a introvert and change your approach to get them to start hanging out with you to make them more comfortable at first if you really want to get to know them. Not saying introverts shouldn't compromise and never agree to go out but if your introvert friend is someone you have only said hi to once in a while at school without ever actually hanging out with them don't just suddenly expect them to open up and agree to go to a big social event right away. Get to know them first and they are more likely to agree cause they are more likely to trust enough go. 2. If you don't me I am one of the quietest people you will ever meet and if you are a good friend sometimes I never shut up. But I am never full of myself or at least I never intend to be if I ever am. If I'm talking a lot usually it is about some tv show or videogame with a friend just being a nerd that occasionally talks to much. 3. Doesn't matter if I sleep for 4 to 6 hours or if I sleep as long as 10 hours, I always look like the person on the right 🤣 I've been on regular sleep schedule getting 8 hours of sleep or more for over a year now and I still look like the pic on the right. 4. I'm actually very pessimistic cause if you prepare for the worst result to happen most of the time it won't happen. However I do think it it is unattractive to constantly talk about it to others constantly going on about your negative problems. You can be pessimistic and just keep those thoughts to yourself. I try my best to make sure I don't complain or even mention most of the problems in my life to my friends. 5. Never used a pickup line once in my entire life. Just not my style. How about just treating the person you are attracted to like a human being. When I used to game with friends at school it didn't matter if you were a guy or girl, as long as you were not toxic and just be friendly and chill everyone was treated and talked to the same way. If I want to talk to a girl I like I just do the same thing, no corny pickup line just talking to her like any of the guys or girls I would game with. So in some ways I think most gaming groups (at least from my day) were very healthy socially.

1st comment, this is so me, thanks for this video, it's really helping me now

I can tell that I stopped telling my own stressfull situations so often and I started to be a more positive person that just wants to laugh, have a good time with my friends and the words of ''Someday I'll be okay'' on my mind, 'cause that's the reason I'm still alive. Maybe I don't have so much friends, and it took me a few sessions with my psychologist but yeah, It's something that one and only one, yourself can change and maybe with the help of a proffesional or whatever makes you feel comfort.

the sleep deprived one is the stupidest point ive ever heard, not having 31 hours of sleep is nothing like staying up on your phone for a couple hours at night. if you saw a burnt out self hating person compared to a normal person with nothing wrong with them im 1000% sure id pick the one you’d thought wasnt homeless.

The first one is so true. I had never talked to this girl in my grade before, but this year we sat next to each other in two classes and are really good friends. It's crazy how just being near someone can cause two people to be friends.

One that grinds my gears is when someone talks shit about others to you like you're expected to agree and double down. This was a hell of a deal breaker once and I still can't stand people like that

holy shj THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO Habits 1, 3 (a bit), 4 and 5 sometimes are in me. Your video helped me realize these are problems and i should work on them

Your videos always attracts me!!❤

Dude, why is the pic with the whole idea that any type of arm hair is unslightly or unattractive? Not cool y’all. Creating a stigma against body hair is insensitive, especially when it’s such a long stretch as some type of negative, dependent innate feature? It’s just really shocking when this channel has always been really sensitive and earnest in their hopes to bring mental health topics to the forefront. I really hope moving forward you can be more thoughtful in the clickbait you illustrate for engagement. Usually body hair disproportionately effects those who are non-white and in turn we are subversively casting shade on people who choose body hair over shaving every hair off and tbh I don’t think it’s fair. Body hair to me doesn’t matter but I DO remember getting picked on in THIRD grade for not shaving off my hair because mine was darker than other kids. It’s not even mentioned in the video so there’s really no need for it. Let this be a learning moment and evolve from it so that it doesn’t happen again.

This really helps, I’m very thankful to come across this video 😄

The pessimism is so me. I'm working on that though. My reality is steeped in pessimism. Poor my whole life, no friends, a slightly toxic family (some more toxic than others). This really brings you down.

I like these videos since it helps with my selfcare

I wish I interacted with more people daily but I'm too shy so I just sit there in silence. I understand that this makes others perceive me as boring and uninteresting, but I cant help it.

Having a lot of disorders in my head and + autism with a lot of adhd in it doesn't always help in social interaction, but the worst is having BDP. That make everything worst, it is a constant fight with this little voice in your head, always putting you down, wanting you to do bad things. But after a few years, I can confirm to people who have similar to me, you actually can have a good life. I wasn't believing it at first. But after a lot of introspection, I realise that this voice was just the little old me, who is scare of life. And the only thing I had to do, is understanding her, reconforting her, scolding her. This is still difficult today, but this is way less worst than before. You just have to stop to live in fear, concentrate yourself on who you really are and by that, you have to remember who you are when this voice is not here. And I realise I was a really good person, always there for the other, strong, smart, capable of a lot of thing, ambitionous... I can finally see who I am, something that you cannot do when your fear is eating you. More you fear something irrationnaly (like, scare to be left behind by your friends) more you fell in the pattern of your worst fear and then they become reality. But you did it yourself, not the others around you. But I say that, but to be honest, I am pretty lucky. Even if I have a list of diagnostic, everthing is on a little level. So, for somerone who experience a hard level of BPD, I hopes what I say can help, but I know this is a lot harder than what I live everyday. After all, not for nothing that some peoples around me said that to their own opinions, BPD is the worst mental illness for auto-destruction. You just kill yourself, everyday, because you don't understand that all that, in your head, is only memories of what people have said to you in the past. But someone sane and well in their skin never hurt other people like that, only people who are unhappy or unhealthy in their head do that. So, don't take it personnal, make peace with it.

I imagine complaining is on the list...

I'm most certainly 1. but I believe if I have to try hard to garner someone's love, I'll set the wrong expectations towards that person, because they'll never get to know me at my baseline. This is a "Dress up for the job" sort of situation. I know I want to be with another introvert, and so perhaps my venue isn't that party / outing / drinking night that friends are inviting me to... Maybe it's a forest, an anime convention, art club, or game night. I'm 30 so I've experienced much. Very often people fall out of love because one person was trying too hard to be someone they're not / uncomfortable being, and that's what attracted their partner, but once their partner really gets to know them at their baseline / natural state, they feel a bit scammed or unattracted to the person. I decline outings if they're not to my taste, because I can't imagine I'd meet someone compatible with me doing something I don't love. It's healthy to be an 'outgoing' introvert, but you should define what 'outgoing' means to you. Adventures take many forms.

I subscribed to this channel to help understand my own mental health. Not to be told what society thinks is unattractive. This actually works against my mental health.

I don't know how but for some reason you just cure my depression and thank you for your advice i appreciate it

Hi Psych2Go! Maybe another video idea you could make is ways to be a better person? I’m trying to treat people better but each time I end up doing something wrong.

The one habit that makes me less attractive from the start: *Existing* :')

Timestamps 1). I'll go next time 0:26 2). Look at me 1:18 3). 2 A.M club 2:13 4). Glass half empty 2:52 5). Non-pickup line 3:39 Hope this helps you out. Hope you have a nice day. Sorry this is so late.💙💙💙💙💙

Also I’ve found a way that works for me, for when people ask if I wanna do something. I will (if I don’t have energy that day) just say that I don’t have the energy that day, but that I’d love to find a day to do it with them. Perhaps in an upcoming weekend, or a day where I get off early and can still relax a bit at home beforehand.

I know that I tend to be pessimistic, I have a hard time avoiding it because I see so much bad in the world and when I try to be optimistic, I feel like I'm being phony...

2:15 me watching this at 1:50am:

How sad, that the human nature reacts negatively or judges pessimistic people... I feel like if you can't see anything positive people should feel for you and not see you as less valuable/approachable. We all really need to grow. If someone is negative, try and give them something positive and if they don't react the way you expected DON'T take it personal. That's at least what I try to do... Everyone can have a bad day. And everyone can make it little better... Or worse😅

perfect! It's not 2am but 1:30am so I am good XD and the most pessimistic person around sigh AND I use to be the person who will go places all the time when asked but now I am the person to just flat out say 'no'. because what use to happen often was people will agree to go out for something and we will have like 10-15 people agree on a time and place. THEN when it was time to be there (not even like an hour before) a lot of them just bail. I got so upset over people claiming to want to go out and do something then bail the last minute I just flat out say 'no' now because I don't want to be expecting a good size party to end up with just 3-5 of us not having as much fun.

I love the art in this video! It’s so cute and cool

Ironically painful, I have trouble sleeping a lot. Melatonin, sleep aid amsr with a headband. Even cutting caffeine about 7hrs before bed still nets at least 1-2 disturbences in the night. Low-key I have a fantasy of falling asleep on a girls lap when I'm truly exhausted.

Omg the sexist one is true ,back when I was a sophomore there was this girl in my class she was very cute and one of the smartest students (along with me not bragging I swear) but she had this awful behavior where she used to slap guys in the upper back with all her strength she did it once to me out of the blue and we couldn't do anything because we'll she was a girl and if you confronted her she would just say " oh you're a man you can take it " well everyone started ignoring her after that even the girls because they got mad at her nobody wanted to be around her anymore ,she stopped doing it when she slapped the big guy of the class so hard I bet you could hear it a block away he turned grab her hand and almost punch her in the face the teacher jumped to stop him and she started crying and HE got in trouble like wtf? She got away with everything but nobody from out class talk to her anymore

I had and still have a problem with overly confidence and overshare

Your voice is soooo peaceful ❤❤

the thumbnail is kinda misleading and dumb…. you shouldnt make people feel bad for armpit hair. its natural!! and the first example is kinda….. meh. i am chronically ill and unable to leave the house most days. i dont think this makes me less attractive, i wish i could hang out with others all of the time, i just can’t.

The 2AM club is hitting me hard as I watch this at 3:20 in the morning 😂💀

the thumbnail startled me LOL

UR VOICE IS SO SOOTHING AND ATTRACTIVE HELP

Food For Thought: You can’t please everyone, and you can’t make everyone like you.

I want to be highly attractive physically, while repelling others socially. ☺

0:25 and 1:18 (too often, look at me) i really need those things, Thank you, not because of attraction but way of communication to my friends and people

Your voice is so calm that I almost fell asleep

dgaf bout being attractive to people that are judgmental ash over dumb things.

The only habit I have is sleep deprivation, but I don’t mean to stay up late on purpose.

i sleep enough but i have these huge dark circles under my eyes because I'm anemic and they won't go away :( the way people say that i always look tired is getting annoying

Wow. Until I saw that thumbnail I really thought this was a channel with quality content.

The thing about "not bragging"... This might be really more complex. I think a lot of people (and especially, ahem... MEN) are very hypocritical about wanting an "intelligent" and accomplished partner. Because as soon as they perceive you as possibly MORE accomplished/intelligent than them (whether they are correct or not about this assumption), they will run away. Sometimes, it's not just about bragging. What if you really ARE an outstanding student, or if you truly have many talents, or a really great career? What if your achievements always come across, somehow, as "too much"? Sometimes, it really doesn't matter how you present yourself. Just BEING who you are will scare people off. Not to mention the fact that there are contradictory messages about this. I remember watching a video telling people that they should never "dim their light", because if by being themselves, they come off as threatening because they have a big personality or many talents, then, trying to be super humble and hide all of this means you are not showing your true colours, and starting a relationship on a lie. If the other person is insecure, eventually, it WILL become a problem.

Idk why but as a girl I love having hair on my legs and arms and armpits idk am very tomboyish/masculine like so maybe that why lol

love this channel

In my experience (being the attracter) listening to people and not being on your phone or having headphones in while they talk helps a lot, also knowing when to casually touch them, appearance really isn’t everything, I mean, it sort of is but if your very kind and take care of others then it sort of over powers it! I hope that helps? Sorry im not too good at explaining

As a person who works at night (4-12am est) it’s nice to know that because I work those hours I’m less attractive. Im making a joke but thank you for this video it explains why I have lost some interest in people either as friends or romantic interests
