"Oh no, you're perfect the way you are": a statement that irritates me.
There are times when I get irritated by things, this is one of them.
Person 1: I noticed that I am getting wrinkles under my eyes, maybe I should get some eye cream.
Person 2: Oh no you look pretty just the way you are, you don't need those creams.
Person 1: Oh, ok.
A few months later, Person 1 develops anxiety due to low self esteem.
Person 1: I really think that I should get my eye wrinkles treated.
Person 2: Oh no you look pretty just the way you are, you don't need any treatments.
While working, person 1 is approached by a co worker who says
co worker: You look extremely tired.
Person 1: what? but I feel energetic.
Co worker: Oh... well...
Person 1 consults person 2 again, but recieves the same responce
Person 2: Oh no you look pretty just the way you are.
This is a more toned down example of what I am trying to get to. If a person does not feel confortable in their own skin, telling them this statement will just irritate them, especially if their feelings are being mirrorred by the world around them.
