Lessons from Lizzie Velasquez who has been branded the world's ugliest woman -

24-year-old Lizzie Velasquez was born with an extremely rare medical condition that keeps her body from storing fats. In addition to being severely underweight, she is also blind in one eye.

In 2012, online bullies had taken upon themselves to brand Lizzie the “world’s ugliest woman.” An eight-second clip of Lizzie was uploaded on YouTube without her knowledge, and had garnered over four-million views, with thousands of nasty comments.

Thanks for sharing this link with us. This shows that appearance isn't the most important thing.

Thanks for the positive feed-back.

Yes - appearances are only as important as you make them. Plenty of physically attractive people can be a real "mess" psychologically & emotionally. But we live in a superficial society for the most part and you can be "famous" for your physical appeal rather than the quality of your character. The two aint mutually exclusive of course.

But our focus on appearance can have detrimental effects for people's self-esteem and sense of self-worth. - especially if you compare yourself unfavourably with those humans who are spectacularly good-looking and assuming they must have a MUCH better life than yours.

Just rambling on a bit as I sit here at the keyboard

I like Lizzy. And one thing, she's famous and they're not.

You could check out Sam Berns too. The world's 'ugliest' guy. Rip hero.


Both have had some absolutely amazing TED Talks.

2 of the most beautiful people on the face of the planet as far as I'm concerned.

:O]
