This is like a window into a bizarre alternate universe. Ladies- try looking at the men around you seriously and realize how unimpressive so many of them are!!! Why try to impress so many men who are beneath you? Why waste time thinking of them? Focus on you & what you want! Go for the top grade, pursue your own interests, listen to that voice inside and what you want to do! there is so much to do out there!

Getting attention from men is too easy. I stopped caring when I realized there is no real reward from it. And honestly, it happens even when you’re not asking for it. It’s not a huge achievement or anything. What is hard and highly rewarding is showing up for yourself and doing the things you want to do! The real ones will stick with you.

Ladies, TAKE THIS ADVICE! You DO NOT want to wake up at 45 and realize you spent your 20s-30s catering to men and trying to be attractive to them. Of course you may want a relationship with one and you want to feel desirable, but don’t attach your self worth to it for the love of all that is good. I did this in my early twenties very heavily, and at 26 I am trying hard to untangle my identity from that drive. Being obsessed with male validation makes you small, competitive and insecure. It ruins your self esteem and reduces you down to an object of desire. I realized that if I kept going, I would have nothing once I was older, because society has such a narrow view of what is appealing to men, and it never accounts for what REAL people desire. You can be vibrant and attractive at any age, but not if you waste your life trying to fit into this box. Don’t waste your life’s purpose trying to get attention. The right man will see you for who you are, and you won’t have to change or preform for him.

@@brentie2604 No please, I think men actually should cater a bit more to women. If you guys did, I think most of you would look better, take better care of yourself, dress nicely etc. This is currently not the case. Just look outside, so many women try their hardest to look beautiful and then you have men who are just there, completely careless of their appearance (except for a small percentage). So please, men, do cater your life a bit more to what women like, by listening a little bit !

Currently as a 19 yo young girl i can deeply confirm. I’m already not really a social butterfly but especially as soon as a man starts to make it obvious that he’s interested in me i start to heavily overthink everything. Until to the point where i feel like i owe them beauty, sexiness and attractivness 24/7. Even in the hardest times. I think it’s a highschool trauma in me that i still couldn’t %100 solve.

This might sound hard, but you don’t need love, you need God, and God will give you everything that is good for you. A man/woman will love you for your physical look/ charisma/ money/ intelligence….. or all the temporary things to fill things that THEY need. They will only love you if you meet their needs, and might leave you anytime. But God will never leave you because He loves you for who you are, whatever you are and no matter what your past is. In fact, God doesn’t need you, you need Him.. yet He cares for you more than anyone that you love does. Also Jesus said: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” _ John 8:12 "But I say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." _ Matthew 5:28

The men who “adore” you are the same ones who will vomit at you when you are “old” just because you are no longer attractive to them, because they only ever valued you for looks. It’s so sad. I am so sorry for what teens have to grow up in these days and pray for humanity!

Margaret Atwood's quote that opened my eyes and shifted something in me, was "You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur." As women and especially girls we're always catering to male gaze, even when it's literally nonexistent. My mission is to fight it out of me. We are always serving men, one way or another. If we're not "wife material", if we're sexually expressive, we're still serving them with our attractiveness and fulfilling their sexual needs. They don't respect us, but they still use us. If we are traditional housewifes, we birth them kids and take care of them, emotionally and physically. In this case they act like they respect us but they still don't. We hope to be the femme fatale that men desire and obsess over. How about we collectively wake up and realize the male gaze is nothing special. They f@ck corpses. They laugh at us and make fun of us. They watch porn and they enjoy women being harassed and abused. Their idols are disgustung emotionally immature, unintelligent male celebs. But the thing is, women don't NEED men. Men NEED women. They want a slave, an object in one way or another and they blame it on biology. But we women? We don't need them. We're successful without them. We're even better without them. I'm 20 now and trying to shift from years of serving to the male gaze as a teen girl. As I started to realize these things, one by one, epiphany by epiphany my happiness, confidence, joy as increased immensely.

I remember i used to wear leggings and a tight top at the gym. I really believed i did it "for myself", until lockdown came. I started working out in then in the house, and because there was noone there to see how i looked, i realised how uncomfortable, restrictive and not good for working out they are. Thats when i had to be honest with myself that im doing it to display my body. It was a huge ego drop to admit but it was true. I have changed a lot since then because I realised how in every asect of our lives we are conditioned to be visually pleasing. I also need to say how much better working out is in loose clothes. Marketing really fooled me there.

As a young girl society told me that your value as a woman is based on men validation and that men validate you only if you're interesting to them by your looks. I always thought about how perfect I have to be, if i sit right, look on point, etc. Later I found out that I attracted a lot of shallow men that objectified me and were intereated in my looks only. I then wondered why they don't want to get to know me more and I thought for a moment that maybe I don't have anything else to offer than my looks. Now I know that's not true at all. I started to take care of my looks only for myself and when someone starts to objectify me, I immediately distance myself.

This might sound hard, but you don’t need love, you need God, and God will give you everything that is good for you. A man/woman will love you for your physical look/ charisma/ money/ intelligence….. or all the temporary things to fill things that THEY need. They will only love you if you meet their needs, and might leave you anytime. But God will never leave you because He loves you for who you are, whatever you are and no matter what your past is. In fact, God doesn’t need you, you need Him.. yet He cares for you more than anyone that you love does. Also Jesus said: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” _ John 8:12 "But I say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." _ Matthew 5:28

@@angelis2125 To be real with you it’s possibly a trauma response from unmet needs in childhood. Possibly from male caregivers. Therapy is a good route to healing if this is the case. Eventually you’ll reach a point where you can validate yourself and then ironically everyone outside of you reflects that back to you the love you feel for yourself. For me it stemmed from feeling unworthy and now that feeling has left me the need for outside validation has left with it. Shame keeps you stuck so admitting it is the first step. By shining a light on the shame you can start to heal it instead of pretending it doesn’t exist or it’s not a problem.

It runs even deeper than beauty. I realize I want men to think I'm smart, interesting, talented, etc. I've always had a lot of hobbies and am well rounded, but I realized I used to do all that partially keeping in mind that I wanted to be more appealing to men. It really took away from those experiences because there was so much pressure of being attractive in all these different ways. It felt like I was a student applying to colleges and I was forcing myself to do extra curriculurs (attractive qualities other than beauty) so I would be even more attractive than just my grades (beauty). I am so much more fulfilled just doing things because I want to do them and I don't feel like I have to be good at it or impress the men around me.

This video is so helpful and timely, especially considering the social climate lately. Things like the manosphere and this red pill rhetoric are trying to "humble" women and rating a woman's looks are at the fore front. The reason why men's validation should not be honored is because it's fickle. One minute they like you, then you say something to piss them off and you're immediately ugly.

In my experience I tend to weaponize my attractiveness to feel like I have some type of power with men. It isn't that I want to ensnare a man. I want to feel like they can't hurt me when I feel beautiful. I grew up feeling like my worth hinges on my appearance. I still do sometimes. It's like putting on armour and going to war every single day. My therapist said that once I'm older I will stop caring less. It came off as dismissive.

I hate feeling like I am constantly preoccupied with being validated. And considering the amount of feminist media I consume, I even feel guilty wanting the amount of male validation that I do. It really shows you how ingrained it is in us to want to be wanted. It is built into our subconscious…

I’m in my mid 20s and slowly started to realise how much time I wasted on caring about how I look or being reduced to only my looks from other people but also myself eventually. When I look at my bf in comparison and how much time he spent on doing way more useful things ( I have the feeling a lot of men are like this, they were more encouraged to spend more time on useful things in life and not just to look pretty) I get sad and annoyed at society. I guess I shouldn’t be sad about it in hindsight but honestly I would love to travel back in time to give myself a good wake up call and tell me what really matters in life 😂

I get so sad and frustrated. If I even think about one aspect of beauty, for example hair removal. It makes me so mad how much time, effort, pain, and money women spend on removing something that is completely natural and acceptable on men. The double standard infuriates me, but I also have a deep seated need to be beautiful, so I continue to get my eyebrows threaded, shave, wax, and get laser hair removal done no matter how time consuming, expensive, and painful it is. Men don't spend nearly as much of their energy on their appearance, so they get to use their energy and resources on fun, interesting things.

wow, your insights just helped me realize a feeling i've had about this relationship to a man i have rn. at times i feel inferior to him, but really i think i just want to be like him. he's super intelligent and grew up being told how smart he was, so has no doubts in his intellect and speaks so confidently. i, on the other hand, grew up with my beauty being the trait that was always encouraged, even though i was intelligent (but not book smart), and i was always made to feel dumb by my male peers. i wasted my first two years of college trying to be the hottest girl on campus (it was a tiny college) because i knew that if i couldn't excel academically, at least i could be the prettiest, most desired young woman there. i've doubted my voice, my intelligence, my ability to convey my opinions on things for my whole life because we girls are trained to be agreeable, non-confrontational (which often means not sharing or having an opinion), and to dumb ourselves down to seem more relatable. actually, this last point, i think is something that makes us really strong as women--we are more interested in making connections with other people instead of compete w/them, which is why we use linguistic tools like girly-girl talk in order to make each other feel safer around each other. i love that i can feel safe in my ineloquence without some dude mocking me, and be able to be understood and have an intelligent conversation that sounds like it came right out of clueless. but anyway---i'm finally making an effort to reclaim my intellect and restarted college. in a way i feel like i'm behind compared to men, and other women my age who weren't wasting their energy on sexual attractiveness growing up, because i've spent so much of my 20s trying to look hot but i'm finally feeling safe and confident enough to pursue this intellectual journey and i hope to have the unearned confidence of a white man someday soon.

I am the opposite - I was choosing to wear baggy clothes to not attract unwanted attention throughout my teenage years and only in my late 20s I'm starting to feel okay wearing outfits in public that are traditionally considered 'sexy'. I still sometimes feel uncomfortable as I have no desire to be objectified, being accused of 'wanting to steal someone else's boyfriend' or arouse any other response with my clothes from others, but I feel a lot more free of what to wear, and that is my part in feminism.

This might sound hard, but you don’t need love, you need God, and God will give you everything that is good for you. A man/woman will love you for your physical look/ charisma/ money/ intelligence….. or all the temporary things to fill things that THEY need. They will only love you if you meet their needs, and might leave you anytime. But God will never leave you because He loves you for who you are, whatever you are and no matter what your past is. In fact, God doesn’t need you, you need Him.. yet He cares for you more than anyone that you love does. Also Jesus said: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” _ John 8:12 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.” _ Luke 13: 24 “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their lifewill lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” _ matthew 16: 24-25 “Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him.” _ Romans 12:11 "But I say to you, anyone who stares at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." _ Matthew 5:28

Wow... I love this. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO BE SEXY. It also applies to men. WE ARE NOT HERE TO BE SEXY TO THE OPPOSITE SEX. If we focus on being sexy there might be no one next to us when we fall ill losing our 'sexyness' I'm 44 and when I was younger I didn't even imagine I would ever get old...haha... But when my jawline started sagging and I found that all kinds of unknown wrinkles can show up anywhere throughout my body, I realized that being sexy or pretty is a blessing in disguise. I thought I would shine forever and getting compliments about appearance blined me from getting WISE. If we are a little bit prettier than the 'normal' level, that means we have to be a little bit wiser; otherwise, there will be more frequent heartbreaking that is likely to lead to loneliness. Being sexy is nothing. I hope young people regardless of sex could learn this early.

I wish I could come across your channel much earlier! Nonetheless, now is a good timing too. I feel for many of us, female or male, we all are programmed to seek validation from others in most stages of life. In primary school, we seek validation from the teachers so we are deemed as smart or validation from our coach if we are the sports type. Then middle school and high school, as self-awareness is growing, we seek validation from our peers. We want to be popular. Then, in adulthood, we seek male validation or female validation so that we are deemed as "desirable" in mate selection, or we seek validation from our bosses. Ultimately, seeking validation from society, for being "successful". Not often enough have we asked, "How about myself? Do I accept myself? Or do I need to live up to standards set by others who might not have my best interest at heart?"

I have always struggled with wanting attention. I no longer dress sexy, wear makeup and don’t even have any socials. I don’t go out of my way for attention from a guy however once a guy does look at me or show any sort of attention towards me, I will forever remember it. That’s when I realized how much more deeper this problem was. As time has passed I prayed that I would stop caring about boys because I wanted to change so bad. I hated that I cared and tried to see if that same boy was looking at me. But I have been feeling more and more free as I allow myself to not always look pretty and not care so much about whether a boy looks at me or not. What really made me depressed is having mental battles about this meanwhile being a man who loved me so so much. I want to heal from this to be the most refined partner I can be in the future

This is a good video! When you understand that a good number of men aren’t worth all the work and effort you might be putting in, it only makes you wanna put in the work for yourself. I’m in an amazing relationship with my current man and I attracted him because I wasn’t thinking about men. I don’t do dating sites or apps and when I’m single I ENJOY it and pour into myself. When being single becomes easy and natural as breathing air then that’s where the best relationships come from (for me personally). If you wanna be beautiful then be beautiful but don’t do it for men when over half of them don’t deserve to have access to your beauty anyway💯

I am 17 currently in 12th grade and i absolutely hate the way i look i have a friend who is very beautiful and i have been with her since childhood i have always watched people adore her love her as a child it didnt affected me that much but as i grew up it took up my mind and i hate myself because I'm not pretty at all still i try to look beautiful just for the boys so they like me and i feel so fake and when i gain bit of weight I'm ashamed of myself when i go out. Earlier i used to be very creative and a very good child with good academics but now for the past years i have been depressed and my grades are high and low. It effects me everyday just like you said in the video i wake up and my first thought is am i beautiful. I'm very tired of life sometimes i think about things i shouldn't think of. This video helps but my mind is now built in such a way that i cant escape. I know i have so much potential but everything is going to waste

just keep looking at videos like this, you can do this, eventually your brained will rewire itself even if you struggle to believe it, just keep listening.. it will take time, but is not impossible. come on i believe in youu :) accept that you envy your friend, accept that you feel ugly sometimes, accept things how they are and how much time you have wasted, and slowly move on! theres nothing to be ashamed of, your reality is just a result of society's ideas, dont let them win!

But as you grow up older, youll realize that all that youre trying to do is to find the validation you never got from your family, your parents. is not really about her or you, is about how your parents made you feel growing up and how they make you feel now. do shadow work :)

If somebody struggles with finding things you like about yourself I have a scenario I create that helps me to tap into this perspective. It's about imagining meeting a clone of yourself and becoming best friends with them. What are the traits you are grateful for to finally have in a friend? What qualities are your grateful for in this friend? What are you excited to do together with this friend? This little shift in perspective really helps me :)

I was thinking a bit more about how this is for men. And men can’t help it we feel and act like this. I mean they also were born in this patriarchate world and didn’t build it. So we both suffer from this but here’s the big difference. Value. Which sex is valued for looking beautiful, being adaptive to their surroundings and sweet? What is the difference if a man or a woman has all these traits? Patriarchy/society calls that man weak. Patriarchy/society calls that woman a good girl. And this is the problem. This is what needs to change. Luckily it is changing but this theme goes so deep it’s part of the foundation the world we know is build upon. We need to grasp these foundations and shake. By vocalizing this theme and sharing these insights we’re shaking it to make the existing/old world crumble and build a new one. Thank you Alessia for being a must needed groundshaker.

This is THE perfect video that I needed. How many times have I been here thinking about male validation literally all the time? Especially since going to college! Maybe it’s because I go to college in Korea and there are couples everywhere and my friends are in relationships? Anyways I will rewatch this video over and over whenever I need to. It’s time for me to focus on things I actually enjoy. I’ve always been someone that thought I would still prioritize my friends whether I was in a relationship or not but now I can focus on them regardless, I don’t need to be in a relationship at all. These are random thoughts lol I mean I usually don’t comment on videos. Why was a getting emotional watching this 😅 great video either way!

The part of "thinking as a baby" actually is helpful. I just thought about my kid self a how she was beautiful and did not care about other people's thoughts. Just feels like I'm making that pure little girl suffer and humiliating her by caring about people's opinions this much. Is kind weird thinking that as a little girl I knew more about what I want then now and that as u said, I lost through the years the capacity of seen beauty on only being me. Really helpful video, I'm definitely working on this❤.

I have had people stopping me to ask for my number in shops and streets ...It feels so good because no woman wants to be neglected,we want to be desirable however, it can dominate your life. Thank you for this video it's like I was asleep and you woke me up to stop trying to get validation.

Honestly male validation (and also the validation of other people that I didn't even like character wise) has led me to believe that I was actually an introvert except being really outgoing as a kid. At parties I would worry SO MUCH about how I looked, if I looked pretty, confident, funny,.. that I started having physical panic reactions. I wouldn't allow myself to be me and therefore hated socializing, cause why would you like a situation where you're constantly trying to control what you're saying and asking yourself, if you're doing a good enough performance? Now through the help of therapy I get more and more aware of those thought patterns and actually start discovering, that I DO like specializing and really connecting with people. All the worrying about people's opinions really sucks out your beautiful spirit you've got within you.
@alessiasutherberry
@alessiasutherberry 8 месяцев назад
Can I firstly just say, good for you for going to therapy!!! It's so so wonderful to hear that you're becoming more aware of the thought patterns that have been affecting you. It sounds like you've been on a journey to rediscover yourself, and that's a beautiful thing. It's true that worrying about others' opinions can be quite draining, and it's liberating when you begin to embrace your authentic self and enjoy connecting with people without the burden of constant self-monitoring. Your beautiful spirit shines through, and I'm glad you're finding your way back to a more genuine and fulfilling experience with socialising. 🌟

these were really helpful pieces of advice. The motto "think like a baby" can help us in every area of life. even if we as women are focused on ourselves, to be the best version ourselves, sometimes it can be tough to adapt to this world with this mentality but also this mentality rescues us form the negativity of this world and social media. it is sometimes all about competition and as a caring woman after a while, u realize that we don't need to be compared. and it's not about men. we just need to recover from our traumas and love, and care for ourselves as we are and not try to change our personalities or appearances for a "man/woman". we need to change when we are ready to change. and the decision to change should only be for ourselves. ladddiiiies focus on your journey. you own yourself a beautiful life and you can just start with baby steps it doesn't matter. just remember that you are on your own in your journey and you have to give a GREAT shot. when you value your being and try to your best, you attract all the good things to your life. it can be love, success, independence, money etc.

I realized this was stemming from my desire to want validation and the feeling of obligation to perform in front of others. I watched this video and it really helped to realize that my purpose is not to look physically attractive for others and that I have so many other features (like my personality) that is more important anyways.
