Woman documents her daily struggles as the “most attractive person”
In a world inundated with media perceptions of beauty, plastic surgery and many people on the constant search for superficial validation, a lot of people are striving for beauty.
But, as Ariana will tell you, being beautiful is a constant struggle.
The 21-year-old American college student posted a video to her TikTok account, saying she often feels that other girls exclude her because they are so jealous of her looks.
In posting the video, a hesitant Ariana said she was worried about posting the confession in case she got “attacked”.
While applying her makeup, she spoke candidly to the camera saying, “So there‘s a topic I really want to talk about, and I wanna talk about it often but I have a hard time doing it because I know I’m going to get attacked.”
“It goes along with pretty privilege. Obviously, pretty privilege is a thing, we know this, we know there‘s a lot of pros to that.”
She goes on to say that there are a lot of “downsides” to being good looking, and she wanted to share her “experience as a woman”.
“As I said, this topic is very difficult to talk about, because if you know you know, and if you don‘t know, you’re probably going to attack me, my personality, which I am expecting,” she said.
“This is why I don‘t talk about it often.”
Ariana explains that she was often excluded by women, and always wondered why.
“College was really the hardest point for me. Girls will always be like oh my gosh, I love you so much, you‘re so gorgeous, we’re gonna hang out,” she said.
“The time comes around and I always am left out, and talked about poorly behind my back, and it never makes sense because I am always being so kind and genuine.”
Ariana assures her viewers that it was not her personality turning people away from her, but rather her blindingly good looks.
“I was super outgoing, especially around girls, and loved empowering women and just being a b**ch, you know we love being b**ches, in a good way,” she said.
“So I would come home from college on the weekends because I had nothing to do and I would cry to my mum.”
Her mum backed her up as a teenager, saying all the girls were just jealous and that was why she found it hard to socialise with other women.
Ending the video that has been viewed over 350,000 times she said, “If you know me, you know I don‘t carry myself that way, I was so confused and thought this probably is not true, my whole life that this is the reason I can’t make girlfriends.”
The post has racked up thousands of comments from fellow beautiful people, saying they empathise with Ariana and her difficult situation, as they have all banded together online to create a pretty privileged group of people.
