(long answer)

Answer 1

Yes, the obsessions for appearance disallows us to appreciate our true selves. All of us try to judge the other person by their outlooks.

Explanation:

• Most of us growing up pick these habits from our parents or society. It teaches us to care for how a person looks or dresses ignoring their inner traits, skills, and talents.

• This can be deceiving at times since a person that might appear friendly may be ignorant. Similarly, this can make a person self-conscious and they start comparing themselves with others.

• Self-love is very important for an individual to prosper and be contented with life. Disliking oneself can promote feelings of hatred, jealousy, depression, etc.
