Why do I feel so unattractive at school but gorgeous at home? 😂 I can’t be the only one who feels this way! Seriously though, it’s baffling. At school, I feel like a troll, looking all greasy even after just showering. My skin looks worse, my hair is off—everything just feels wrong. But then I step outside of school, and in different mirrors, I suddenly feel like a model? 😂 What’s the deal with that? Any insights?
Parents’ Evening Update It’s just one day away from Parents’ Evening, and I’m feeling really anxious about it. I have a feeling that my teachers are going to share some not-so-great news with my mom and dad.

It’s really interesting how our perception of ourselves can change based on our environment! Many people experience this. At school, the social pressures and comparisons can make us feel more self-conscious and negative about our appearance. You might be hypersensitive to how you look in that environment, especially with all the distractions and judgments that come with school life.
On the other hand, when you’re at home, you’re likely in a more comfortable and relaxed state. You might not be as critical of your appearance, and familiar surroundings can make you feel more confident. Lighting plays a big role too; the lighting at school might not be as flattering as what you have at home, so that can also impact how you see yourself.
Another factor could be your focus—at school, your mind is often occupied with classes and social dynamics, while at home, you might feel more at ease and less scrutinized. It’s totally normal to have these feelings, and it’s a reminder to be kinder to yourself, regardless of where you are! Remember, everyone has those moments of self-doubt, and it’s okay to feel that way sometimes.
