““ “I Think I’m Ugly” Social anxiety can lead to distorted perceptions, and the fear of outright rejection based on looks diminishes as self-help techniques work to boost confidence.

In the end, physical attractiveness is only one part of interactive chemistry. People enjoy interacting with those who take a genuine interest in them, and who are energetic and positive.””
