Since I started dressing well people have been complimenting me a lot more. Suddenly people tell me I look like an actress/model and assume I have my life together. I’ve been offered jobs after short conversations. I am treated like I matter. But I’m the exact same person. I still don’t wear makeup or put much effort into my hair but now I might. I was bullied my whole life and now I suddenly have value because I shop at the secondhand stores in rich areas? Is this the secret of life I was never taught? That looks are everything to society? And why, though I’m disturbed, do I want to bury myself deeper into this social phenomenon? Have I always been so vain?
