DM not happy in her own skin

DM is great person but her self confidence has always been low and she's quite preoccupied with physical appearance despite being a very slim and attractive woman for her age.

She's had a few mini face procedures done (think brow lift type thing) always under local and never general. I thought she'd stop after a couple but latest one she wants seems a bit more drastic.

I'm generally supportive of the procedures and all for people making the best of themselves but starting to wonder if shell ever be happy with herself. As soon as she's sorted one area of the face she moves on to another and still thinks she looks awful.

Ive met other women in recent years in her age group who seemed so happy in their skin regardless of appearance and it was so refreshing. Meeting these women has really shifted my perspective. Before that I was very similar to DM, if not worse, and felt I had to tweak myself endlessly and never looked good enough. Now I feel a bit better about myself and no need to rush to the clinic to get something done every month.

It exhausting feeling like you never look good enough and wish DM could learn to see how great she is without further procedures.

WIBU to try and say sth or should I just leave it? She'll probably think I'm being judgemental even though it comes from a good place

Like you’ve said, she will just continue to move on to the next thing, so save your breath.
