I'm WFH at the moment. Just had a break - a cup of tea in the garden with a book followed by a fresh rosemary and pink Himilayan rock salt foot spa and a turmeric face mask.
My feet are of a softness only fairies could dream of and my skin is calm, clear and refreshed. My nails are filed and polished. I have showered, my skin is moisturised, my hair is blow dried.
I felt calm, rested, peaceful, content and then I looked at myself in the mirror and just feel utterly blah.
Over recent months, and since hitting 45, I've become really aware of my lack of physical attractiveness. I've never been particularly attractive. Men have never flocked around me but I've batted away enough interest over the years.
My face is just not very attractive. I'm terminally single. I'm dating someone but I don't think it's going anywhere - I think he's pretty ambivalent. I don't get the sense he's developing any feelings for me and I suspect that if someone younger, slimmer, pretty and sexy showed an interest, he'd be gone without a second glance in my direction. But he's reasonable company and, let's face it, it's not like I have options!
I don't even know what I'm looking for tbh. None of you can change what I look like 🙄
Just wondered if anyone else was wallowing in a bit of indulgent self pity today.
