This all suggests that misjudging what others find attractive doesn't just skew our view of potential partners, but also distorts our own self-image. Just as concerns about muscularity, body type, or weight can lead to insecurity and unhappiness, so too can worries about the masculinity or femininity of our facial features.

It is amazing to me to catch the occasional glimpse beyond my own preoccupations and see the outside world unmarred. I'm not sure what to do with these experiences. Maybe this will be helpful to you.
