How do you deal with people constantly criticizing your appearance?

I’m 33, and I’ve noticed that throughout my life, I’ve constantly been picked apart for my appearance, mostly by other women. This includes friends, family members, and complete strangers.

I’ve received unsolicited comments about my facial features, hair, clothing, and even my femininity. What’s frustrating is that I never ask for anyone’s opinion, nor do I go around criticizing other people’s appearances.

I don’t think I’m exceptionally beautiful, but I’m comfortable with my natural appearance. It just feels like people always find something wrong with how I look.

At this point, I’m exhausted by it. I sometimes wonder whether jealousy, insecurity, or something else motivates people to make these comments.

Has anyone else experienced this? How do you deal with constantly being picked apart, especially when you haven’t done anything to provoke it?
