I (f27) am so jealous of the pretty girl (f29) at our office
A couple of months ago, a very pretty woman joined my company. Her team sits a couple of desks away from mine.
90% of our company is male and most of them make a song and a dance to talk to her. I asked her out for lunch after she just joined, but she was already booked for a couple of weeks because so many of our colleagues wanted to meet her. Needless to say, that was not the case for me when I first joined.
I always considered myself to be attractive. Not stunningly beautiful, not everyone’s type, but not bad looking either. But realizing how my colleagues treat a pretty women makes me realize I am not considered pretty. And it hurts more than it should.
I am also jealous of how easy it was for her to fit in. After only a few months she is better connected in the company than I am. And I am outgoing.
Some days, when a colleague ignores a question I ask him just to listen to something she says, I question not just my looks but my entire attitude. Maybe I am giving off annoying vibes? But then again, I am doing my job and asking questions is part of that.
This is post is not supposed to say something negative about my colleague. She is a really nice person and I know that me being insecure around her has something to do with me, not her.
Netizens’ comments
- I believe everyone feels the way you do, men and women. Being stunningly beautiful is like a superpower we all wish we had, but only a little percent of the population has it.
It might be unfair, all the advantage they have over us, but that’s just the way it is, don’t let it bother you, it really is one of those things in life you have to deal with, you get one life and one body, love it as it is and don’t compare it with others. - I wouldn’t think too much into it. Its maybe that whole new fish vibe. Personally I’d just stay in my lane and concentrate on yourself. It may turn feral if you let it get to you, say a comment you may say gets taken out of context. If you say 90% are Male, maybe that has something to do with it.
