For people who do not have high self-esteem, like myself, hard truths really hurt. I can totally accept comments like, perhaps you can read more, perhaps you should get a haircut etc, constructive comments which I can adopt and use to them to improve myself, but not comments regarding who is the cutest, the prettiest etc. Because firstly, physical appearances are often what we cannot change or have much control over, secondly, be it a good or bad comment, it's really redundant isn't it? We are who we are, not how we appear to be.
Friends who truly know you and love you look beyond appearances. Sometimes I don't like to surface problems because I hate to hear the hard truths. And yes, I am an escapist. I don't brood over things, I forget them, and perhaps this is what makes me a happy person.
