To feel sad my friend got Botox?

Now her smile doesn't reach her eyes. I LOVED her smiley eyes, she had a really twinkly grin. I guess she was insecure about her crow's feet and got injections to get rid of them. And now she looks sort of wide-eyed and frozen and it just makes me sad! She doesn't look like herself any more.

She's incredibly naturally beautiful, classic Grace Kelly looks, and an amazing bone structure. So she would have aged beautifully I'm sure, without needing injectables.

I know it's none of my business really. And I'd never say anything negative to her. And I know Botox doesn't last forever and she may well not get it done again. But AIBU at feeling a little bit sad at the loss of my friend's lovely warm smile?

It’s a strong reaction

But from your description I think she might have had a bit too much…

YABU. It's literally no business of yours.

You can be sad OP, as long as you keep it to yourself. If she's happy with it then that's what matters.

I think you're over-reacting a bit.

Yes, I agree.

Not unreasonable at all. I find the increasing normalization of Botox and plastic surgery very concerning.

I find the whole Botox thing incredibly depressing so I understand what you’re saying. I reckon you’ll get lots of people disagreeing with us though!
