    This is the opposite of how I feel and it’s ruining me. I need to be beautiful so others will find me desirable, but I also fear compliments and feel guilty for receiving them and not knowing how to respond. I also avoid going outside when I don’t feel pretty enough. I don’t know how to stop, and my makeup expenses are out of control. Please help.
