Even though I agree that external validation shouldn’t be relied on, and your own opinion of yourself is the most important, that’s still really hard to do when you don’t like how you look.
A different comic that connected to me a little more was this one:
Where just because I don’t like the way I look, doesn’t mean I’m ugly. Someone else may like just as I am, so the important thing for me is to be healthy and happy with myself, even if I don’t like how I look
… I’m realizing I’m mostly just rewording what you said, but I wanted to share the comic in case it helps someone else see another perspective :D
