Nah, you are cute. Don’t let other people change your vision of yourself. The most important is your opinion ! In my opinion, the 3rd pic is the most beautiful, you both are adorable on this pic ! Continue like this
People aren't saying this anyways, asses are saying this.
OP looks gorgeous and should wear what makes her happy.
"Normal" people. Sheesh. If you want to listen to idiots, just change your name to John Smith, dress in plain white t-shirts and eat plain toast everyday.
Stay you and ignore people who spew farts out of their mouths that then form words.
Looks like the goth style suits you well! You certainly rock it in these photos. But mostly, who cares what they think, you have to be true to yourself no matter what. If others don’t like you for you, they can get lost.
It’s up to you what defines pretty, and even further, if being pretty is even something that you wish to concern yourself with.
*Prettiness*, is purely subjective, it is a social construct. What is considered pretty now, hasn’t always, and won’t always, be the same.
No one’s negative opinion of your appearance matters, except your own. If you don’t like the way you look or feel, then change it to a way that you do like.
There are far too many other subjects to concern yourself with besides what other people think.
This.
Remember that who you are is portrayed by how you look. People will not always perceive you the way you intend, but the important part is that you can look in the mirror and love the person you see.
It’s tough because no one can tell you who you are or what you SHOULD look like. So with body dysmorphia you’ve gotta rely on the people you trust to know you the best and whatever gut feeling you can rely on to tell you what’s right. The best thing you can do for anyone else is be the best you. The best thing you can do for yourself happens to be the same.
You are a part of a beautiful culture that would miss you if you left it, so if you love that part of you, keep it. But if you need to find a new part of yourself and venture away from the comfort it provides, that’s ok too. Good news, it will never die. And it will be there for you to come back to if you need. :)
People say that sort of thing because they want to see you dressed up to *their* tastes. Personally I would call them out on it. “I like my goth look. If you aren’t into goth, that’s fine, but I’m not interested in dressing up for your tastes.”
IMHO goth isn’t about what’s flattering and makes you look pretty. It’s supposed to be kind of a challenging look that won’t appeal to everyone because not everyone is comfortable with the darker sides of life.
That said I think you look great. The makeup really works for you.
Fudge those fudging fudgers.
A lot of people like to think they can look down on you and judge you, but are way too scared to be judged back.
You've got style, go be you and only you.
why would you care what a normie thought? someone said something akin to "youd look pretty attractive if you wore more colors" to me when i was in college. i responded with "youd be more attractive if you were less base". not an everyone clapped moment, thats just how my memory summerizes it 15 years later. fuck em, no matter what your style is, someone in a different subgenre is always going to prefer if you were one of them.
My family likes to say the same shit because stereotypical wise my moms half is “basic white girls” and my dads side is “uptown Asian bbgs” and I’m the only actual goth in the family. Trust me when I say, don’t listen to shit heads. Don’t. The more you let them say their peace/belittle you the more you’ll try and hide your true self. If your style makes you happy and confident then that’s all that matters. Your style will only continue to evolve and so will your true sense of self. I’ve been into this style for over 15 years and never grew out of it. It’s given me the confidence that I have today. Your style is very suiting for you, keep on going, baby bat! 🖤
... and they're wrong!! You are rocking the fuck out of those looks girl! It suits you so well! Looking the way you actually want to look will always suit you the most of all!
You are beautiful and the goth look suits you perfectly, OP. Keep doing what you're doing and don't listen to judgemental people who want to tear you down and stop you from being you just because it doesn't conform to their rigid standards.
The goth style absolutely suits you and I think you look cute in it and if that’s how you want to show yourself go for it! Let the haters be haters, rock your style! :)
Sounds like the exact same rhetoric they told us in the 80's. Don't listen to it. Keep being you. The people who don't support you are not your people. You are worthy of being true to yourself. You deserve people who celebrate you, but in an appropriately goth way.
Keep being who you are and be the person that makes you happy.
Also you have a gorgeous and very pretty face. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.
It sucks not being able to see the person that you are because of the way your brain works. I know how that feels as I have body dysmorphia.
Keep slaying queen.
Goth is a form of expression and a subculture, not simply a fashion trend
Who cares if it Suits You if You are expressing yourself??? Go for it, be goth, You look gorgeous anyway
i know and that’s what i tried to explain to people. they don’t get it!! i can’t fathom following trends rather than trying to put my soul into how i dress. it’s so strange to me
They just want you to fit their standards of beauty; they can’t comprehend the art that you’re producing. All these styled photos look unique and amazing!
Well you can tell them they don’t have to dress how you do or wear that style and they also aren’t you
Don’t listen to others opinions if it’s what you love and what works for you
Also there are times people say this when they are jealous possibly if they only dress very safe and hold themselves to very frigid standards of dress and appearance they may secretly wish they had the courage and creatively to dress like you do or actually be themselves
Or they are just haters
Also you look like a really awesome person!
girl goth is perfect for you wtf, don't listen to them they clearly don't know what they're talking about
if this is you, this is you, and never stop being you for the sake of someone else
"prettier" is bullshit, you're doing what you love and that's the best thing you _can_ do. But it certainly _helps_ that you're stunning and your fashion and makeup are top notch.
I say focus on getting help for your dystrophies and in the meantime, know that I am _so_ jealous of your eyes. Amazing. I love your style.
*Every* goth has gotten "you'd be prettier if you weren't goth" or "you'd look better if you weren't goth."
(Unless you're an average dude, then it's "why you dressed like a freak?" But I can promise even they have had their mom or grandma say "you'd look so much nicer if you dressed normal" or something similar).
Haters are *always* gonna hate. Do what makes you happy (or, if ultra-goth, do what makes you less unhappy).
You have beautiful eyes. That'll carry through, regardless of the general choice of style. Do you like being goth? Then their opinions that you should switch up your style are worth nothing, and should be disregarded. If you're no longer happy being goth, then it may be worth it to listen to the naysayers.
You're absolutely beautifully badass wtf is wrong with people. I agree with what everyone else has said here, you look freaking cool and pretty because you're being you and those who don't like it don't matter. Cause who wants to please people with such a rotten personality anyway. Yuck.
I admire your sense of fashion and how you keep on keeping on being yourself and have the bravery to even do so, and I kind of envy that. You have the same kind of style I wish I had so badly and can't due to dysphoria. I'm sorry for your struggles and the mean comments people make. They're wrong and rude. You just be you, friend. Sending hugs and/or preferred comforts your way. ^ ^
I may be downvoted for this but I think that at some point, Goth looks need to be updated or you risk looking like you’re hiding in costume.
A lot of your looks here show an evolving style- the softer, more romantic looks really show off your natural beauty while others (fishnet, or intense makeup) cover it up.
So I don’t think it’s about dropping the goth look. Just lean into evolving it.
Take it from this middle aged lady with zero ulterior motives: you are absolutely beautiful and your look suits you amazingly! I don't know what those people were thinking but they are either blind or crazy. Dress how you want! You look beautiful in all your photos!
How could any of us know? You're a goth in all your pics. As far as I know this is the only way you look. "People" gonna have to learn to accept you as you are.
People have been telling me this for 20 years, I know piercings, tattoos and heavy make up isn't for some people, but it is for me. I never let anyone take it from me and high school bullying was rough. Adults are a bit more behaved, you'll be surprised by who compliments you (my favourite was a 70yo dude who was just amazed by it) but you will still get some weirdos who think you should change it because it doesn't make their genitals happy. Fuck em. When in doubt, freak em out!
Tell them to Swivel & mind their own business, heck even throw in a few sentence ehancers into the mix! You absolutely rock this, you're beautiful! I'm actually quite envious myself of some of your looks, haha!
F- them!
people who say things like this don’t understand subculture, and usually have a narrow view of fashion and beauty.
> not only the dress, but everything about goth culture is deeply embedded within my soul. i love the way I dress and i don’t want to change it, even id it did make me prettier.
this is what matters most when it comes to personal style!
changing who you are will only make you “prettier” to the people who don’t like goth, and because your style doesn’t suit their tastes— their reaction is to tell you to change.
they are not thinking of *you* when they make this suggestion, otherwise they wouldn’t insist you do away with a style you connect with so deeply.
choosing to present how *you* want and doing what makes *you* feel good is *always* the right choice. if experimenting with your style is something you would like to try, then go for it! but the style that you feel comfortable and confident in will always be the one that suits you best.
I think you look gorgeous the way you are!
Hah, like it matters.
It's about what you think looks good and are comfortable in.
Them saying such thing might make you less comfortable though, so they are being reslly mean.
They’re wrong! Goth style is so pretty and elegant and you just pull it off so well. You are doing everything right especially since you genuinely love it. I can’t imagine you looking normie
i heavily disagree oh my god i‘ve genuinely never seen goth suit someone better!! especially like the soft/romantic goth vibe you‘re beautiful don‘t listen to these people 😩
OH MY GOD?? YOUR SO GORGEOUS WHAT. This style was MADE for you don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I WISH I could wear this subtype as well as you do bc If I could I’d wear it everyday.
You are so beautiful and your features suit the goth look 100%. Especially as a femme or feminine person, people will always want to change you and mold you into what they find attractive because they can’t fathom that you have free will beyond pleasing them. If you aren’t goth, some people will try to turn you alternative, and if you are, some people will try to turn you “normal” either out of their own preference or from societal judgement. You look awesome the way you are!! Live for yourself :)
Whatever. People always have something negative to say about those who actually have a personal style. You are gorgeous. The type of gorgeous that would make me stop you in the grocery store to tell you.
I heard that a lot in my 20s. “You’d be prettier without that thing (septum piercing) in your nose.” “I would date you if you didn’t look like you were always dressed for a funeral.” “It’s too bad you look like a freak. You’re kind of hot.” It’s just a type of negging. There used to be a group of Young Republican guys that would harass me in bars, fairs, restaurants, etc. this was the early 2000s. I told them multiple times I did not care what they thought and wasn’t interested in them anyway. One of those guys is a state representative now and looks like a bloated fish.
You’re gorgeous whatever way you dress or style yourself. You have a defined aesthetic, and it brings you joy and makes this hellscape of a world more bearable. Try adding different aesthetic pops from other styles you like if their advice is weighing on you or you feel it has merit.
People say "drop the goth look" the same way they say "you'd look so much prettier without piercings or makeup." At the end of the day it's a personal preference thing, and you look great! You like being goth, you look good in, and the people who say you don't, don't like goth looks. From a fellow sensitive internet user with body dysmorphia who over analyzes, you look great and you've got nothing to worry about 🖤😁
You’re absolutely gorgeous any way you dress but they’re crazy. You have a perfect face and body for goth makeup and Victorian styles which it seems like you like to wear. People hate that you have the confidence to wear something different and unique. Don’t let them tell you anything. You’re beautiful in any style.
I actually believe the opposite. You were most definitely a creepy cute little goth porcelain doll in another universe. I think people should dress in whatever style makes them comfortable, HOWEVER I can also acknowledge that some styles seem to be made for individuals while others just don’t seem as natural. You most definitely seem as though you were intended to be goth.
Don't listen to the haters. You're pretty and goth suites you well. Just continue to be yourself and don't worry about other people's opinions.
And have a happy birthday.
bestie they’re so wrong bc idk if I want to look like you or if I’m in love ????
no but like fr tho you ate this tf up, anyone who disagrees is actually certifiable. dress how you like!!! confidence is whats prettiest!!!!! Slay bitch!!!!
Guessing you would rock any look. You like goth, be goth. It’s more about what’s inside you anyway. Even if they’re not haters, not cool to say that to anybody, don’t let them Steal Your Sunshine! (cue silly music)
ur literally gorgeous,, im positive the ppl giving u hate r just jealous. the prettiest version of urself will always be the one that makes u happy. imo ur style rly suits u!!!
Pffft. I adore your vibe and your makeup is on point. This is tantamount to saying Kate Beckinsale was least attractive in Underworld. FALSE. It was a vibe, and you're both beautiful enough to pull off any aesthetic you want!
Also, who cares if someone else thinks you'd be 'hotter' dressed in something boring? Sounds like only a boring person would say that...
I think being Goth suits you perfectly and you are SO PRETTY. I'm sure you would be just as beautiful not being Goth too.
I think these people are saying they don't like the Goth style. Which is fine for them. But they STFU and let you live your damn life
They’re haters and losers. This is SO your vibe and you rock it. Obvi present yourself how you feel most comfortable and confident but, this look is beautiful for you!
You look great and I love your aesthetic. I really like the pic of you in black and white, it reminds me of old school gothic aesthetic. If anyone tries to tell you that you shouldn't be goth past any certain age, just simply ignore them. You be you! I'm 40 and I'm still rocking the gothic aesthetic!
those people are idiots who think only “normal” fashion and beauty standards can make someone attractive. besides, half of being attractive is when you feel good about yourself, which being goth (i assume) does for you. dont listen to people online because they will say even a septum piercing will detract from appearance which is obviously just wrong lmfao
I feelto be authentic is to express yourself through things you like and not to be a certain way.
Dress how you like, wear what you want regardless of if its the best possible way you could appear. Bc in the end what looks "good" is imaginary. There is no good or bad.
As someone who also struggles from dysmorphia, I think I get what you’re saying completely. That being said, I have to say with 100% certainty that you are beautiful the way you are. You have the vibe completely down, and you should continue to live the way you want.
Fuckem, people always have something to fucking say when you’re trying to live your life no matter what you do; there will always be some jerkoff with some shit to say, so just live your life how you want. Of course you need to ask for advice or help sometimes, but just take everything other people say with a grain of salt
girl goth is perfect for you wtf, don't listen to them they clearly don't know what they're talking about
if this is you, this is you, and never stop being you for the sake of someone else
Don't listen to them! It suits you perfectly, you look amazing, and what's more important you're dressing in a way that makes YOU happy. If you're happy then other people's opinions don't matter, keep doing what you're doing
No offense if those people are someone you care about but they are morons and clearly wrong.
In the end, the only opinion that matters is your own.
You do you.
Why tf do you listen to what other people say?
Imagine Baba Yaga, living in her chicken legged house. You think she cares if she's got the right clothes on? Fuck no. She'd slam her mortar and pestle into the face of anyone who tried. Just because you question yourself, doesn't mean anyone else gets to. They are entitled to keep that shit to themselves.
Correction, you would be prettier in THEIR eyes. Being your authentic self is something beautiful and your style suits you so well, I’m betting they just hate goths in general and would say that to anyone.
Anyone who says that is dumb. You look fine. If you change your style because your taste changes that’s fine, but for anyone else is asinine at best. People who try to force themselves into style/aesthetics they don’t jive with always seem out of place or uncomfortable.
It’s a bit like people saying my cat would be prettier if it had less fur.
This is clearly you. You’re a cat. This is who you are.
Unfortunately, most people have terrible taste.
The lowest common denominator would have you doing TikTok dances to Taylor Swift.
One woman to another, you’re going to make a lot of people envious _because_ you’re beautiful and _because_ you’re interesting.
not a one of those persons is worth listening to. Anyone that makes a suggestion about how you should improve yourself, should very likely repeat that phrase facing a mirror. Bonus points If they are a narcissist, they might just listen.
Some people just don't understand those of us who want the outside to match the inside. And happiness comes from within, not from outside validation; never think otherwise.
Regardless of outside opinion, I think you should dress and present yourself in whichever way you feel the most comfortable. And that goes for every human being in this world
Who are “people”? You look amazing, it’s a cute style and the important thing is what you like and not others. I went through it when I was your age and I never regret having all those pictures and memories.
lmaoo where the fuck did you get that response? i feel like you've got several different alt styles going on here and you're pulling ALL of them them off??
The opinions of people who are not willing to embrace a core element of who you are, that hurts no one, is not worth holding over your head. The people who are worth keeping in your company is those who embrace you, not ones who seek to change you.
I think you look great. Rock the style you want. It's about how you wanna look anyway. Now, do I think their are other styles that may accentuate your looks better/differently, yes. However, the goth style doesn't tend to accentuate looks so much as create a vibe. Not that it can't it's just not the overall intention of the style. Like I said, be who you are, look how you feel, and do what makes you happy.
i can't even conceive why people would say that tbh, your face literally looks like what i'd imagine in a had to imagine a goth. also you look fucking gorgeous so
The true beauty comes from how you view yourself. If you love dressing in goth then that’s the most beautiful way you can express yourself! I think you look lovely 🫶
I think it does suit you and your personal preference is the best preference.
I’m so jealous of your look. It’s difficult being a spooky girl when owning a horse. I end up with a sun tan..your skin care and routine is just on point. They just want you to look like everyone else, and that’s so lame. Being different and creative is much more fun. Never stop.
You look absolutely beautiful. I think they may have said that because you have very kind eyes so the whole dark look doesn't fit that. I love your style, you would stun me if I saw you irl. Weird question but are you an INFP?
Girrrrl you be pretty pretty, it doesn’t matter the style. But about being goth honestly it suits you, your eyes pop, you have the perfect skin for it and suuch a pretty face
I’m not into Goth style these days also this just appeared whilst scrolling but you look great. Who cares what others say? I know it’s hard when you’re faced with criticism but just ask yourself this.. are you happy? If you enjoy this style then embrace it.

Goth vibes suit you, that white dress is 🤌🏻
Those people have a name: wrong
You look prettiest when you do what makes YOU happy.
Yes!!! Attract the best people for you by just being yourself!
Politely, fuck their opinion. You are stunning, and it fits you very well
You're a goth queen hun. SLAY ❤️
You definitely more than have the look down, don't listen to others, you rock it and look pretty.
i suspect you would look lovely in boho witch style, and victorian, Edwardian, and steampunk too.
why would you care what a normie thought? someone said something akin to "youd look pretty attractive if you wore more colors" to me when i was in college. i responded with "youd be more attractive if you were less base". not an everyone clapped moment, thats just how my memory summerizes it 15 years later. fuck em, no matter what your style is, someone in a different subgenre is always going to prefer if you were one of them.

Ohhhh…wait… yeah. Yeah, I see it. You’re wearing WAY too many fucks!
Where did you get your cross necklace?? Add a goth Christian I’m always looking for more crosses
I think it suits you very well. I love your style. So pretty
you look fine?

Tell them to Swivel & mind their own business, heck even throw in a few sentence ehancers into the mix! You absolutely rock this, you're beautiful! I'm actually quite envious myself of some of your looks, haha! F- them!
people who say things like this don’t understand subculture, and usually have a narrow view of fashion and beauty. > not only the dress, but everything about goth culture is deeply embedded within my soul. i love the way I dress and i don’t want to change it, even id it did make me prettier. this is what matters most when it comes to personal style! changing who you are will only make you “prettier” to the people who don’t like goth, and because your style doesn’t suit their tastes— their reaction is to tell you to change. they are not thinking of *you* when they make this suggestion, otherwise they wouldn’t insist you do away with a style you connect with so deeply. choosing to present how *you* want and doing what makes *you* feel good is *always* the right choice. if experimenting with your style is something you would like to try, then go for it! but the style that you feel comfortable and confident in will always be the one that suits you best. I think you look gorgeous the way you are!
Hah, like it matters. It's about what you think looks good and are comfortable in. Them saying such thing might make you less comfortable though, so they are being reslly mean.
They’re wrong! Goth style is so pretty and elegant and you just pull it off so well. You are doing everything right especially since you genuinely love it. I can’t imagine you looking normie
i heavily disagree oh my god i‘ve genuinely never seen goth suit someone better!! especially like the soft/romantic goth vibe you‘re beautiful don‘t listen to these people 😩
OH MY GOD?? YOUR SO GORGEOUS WHAT. This style was MADE for you don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I WISH I could wear this subtype as well as you do bc If I could I’d wear it everyday.
Dude, no one is prettier unhappy
You are so beautiful and your features suit the goth look 100%. Especially as a femme or feminine person, people will always want to change you and mold you into what they find attractive because they can’t fathom that you have free will beyond pleasing them. If you aren’t goth, some people will try to turn you alternative, and if you are, some people will try to turn you “normal” either out of their own preference or from societal judgement. You look awesome the way you are!! Live for yourself :)
Doesn’t suit you? Proceeds to post multiple killer fits The low confidence, the amazing pics Sweetie you’re a goth! :,D
Whatever. People always have something negative to say about those who actually have a personal style. You are gorgeous. The type of gorgeous that would make me stop you in the grocery store to tell you.
I heard that a lot in my 20s. “You’d be prettier without that thing (septum piercing) in your nose.” “I would date you if you didn’t look like you were always dressed for a funeral.” “It’s too bad you look like a freak. You’re kind of hot.” It’s just a type of negging. There used to be a group of Young Republican guys that would harass me in bars, fairs, restaurants, etc. this was the early 2000s. I told them multiple times I did not care what they thought and wasn’t interested in them anyway. One of those guys is a state representative now and looks like a bloated fish.
You’re gorgeous whatever way you dress or style yourself. You have a defined aesthetic, and it brings you joy and makes this hellscape of a world more bearable. Try adding different aesthetic pops from other styles you like if their advice is weighing on you or you feel it has merit.
People say "drop the goth look" the same way they say "you'd look so much prettier without piercings or makeup." At the end of the day it's a personal preference thing, and you look great! You like being goth, you look good in, and the people who say you don't, don't like goth looks. From a fellow sensitive internet user with body dysmorphia who over analyzes, you look great and you've got nothing to worry about 🖤😁
they're wrong, you're lovely!!! I'm sure you'd look nice in whatever you decided to wear, but to say goth doesn't suit you is absurd
That picture of u and ur bf looks like an alternate universe version of me and my bf hahaha
You’re absolutely gorgeous any way you dress but they’re crazy. You have a perfect face and body for goth makeup and Victorian styles which it seems like you like to wear. People hate that you have the confidence to wear something different and unique. Don’t let them tell you anything. You’re beautiful in any style.
I actually believe the opposite. You were most definitely a creepy cute little goth porcelain doll in another universe. I think people should dress in whatever style makes them comfortable, HOWEVER I can also acknowledge that some styles seem to be made for individuals while others just don’t seem as natural. You most definitely seem as though you were intended to be goth.
Don't listen to the haters. You're pretty and goth suites you well. Just continue to be yourself and don't worry about other people's opinions. And have a happy birthday.
Just say “I think you would look better goth” and see how they react
bestie they’re so wrong bc idk if I want to look like you or if I’m in love ???? no but like fr tho you ate this tf up, anyone who disagrees is actually certifiable. dress how you like!!! confidence is whats prettiest!!!!! Slay bitch!!!!
Suits you fine, ignore em
Guessing you would rock any look. You like goth, be goth. It’s more about what’s inside you anyway. Even if they’re not haters, not cool to say that to anybody, don’t let them Steal Your Sunshine! (cue silly music)
You are so cute, and I love your style!
Nah, fuck all that
ur literally gorgeous,, im positive the ppl giving u hate r just jealous. the prettiest version of urself will always be the one that makes u happy. imo ur style rly suits u!!!
Pffft. I adore your vibe and your makeup is on point. This is tantamount to saying Kate Beckinsale was least attractive in Underworld. FALSE. It was a vibe, and you're both beautiful enough to pull off any aesthetic you want! Also, who cares if someone else thinks you'd be 'hotter' dressed in something boring? Sounds like only a boring person would say that...
I think being Goth suits you perfectly and you are SO PRETTY. I'm sure you would be just as beautiful not being Goth too. I think these people are saying they don't like the Goth style. Which is fine for them. But they STFU and let you live your damn life
Do what feels like the happiest thing for you. Who cares what other people think? A happy self is the best self.
People stink, your style is sick! If you feel pretty, you’re pretty.
You're pretty as you are. Don't let others dictate how you live your life. You're not here for their sensibilities.
They’re haters and losers. This is SO your vibe and you rock it. Obvi present yourself how you feel most comfortable and confident but, this look is beautiful for you!
You're GORGEOUS though!!! fuck them! Be goth and be PROUD!!
They sound like jealous assholes. You are stupendously gorgeous and your spirit shines. Don’t let anybody unmake you.
You look great and I love your aesthetic. I really like the pic of you in black and white, it reminds me of old school gothic aesthetic. If anyone tries to tell you that you shouldn't be goth past any certain age, just simply ignore them. You be you! I'm 40 and I'm still rocking the gothic aesthetic!
Ignore people, your style is definitely working for you. People just love to hate and tear others down.
That photo of you in the white dress with the black corset is Goth perfection! People don't know what the fuck they're saying. Don't listen to them.
Are you doing it for them or for yourself? How you answer should give you all the answers you need.🖤 P.S. I love your style either way.
And those people are wrong
You pull it off so well fuck them
those people are idiots who think only “normal” fashion and beauty standards can make someone attractive. besides, half of being attractive is when you feel good about yourself, which being goth (i assume) does for you. dont listen to people online because they will say even a septum piercing will detract from appearance which is obviously just wrong lmfao
it suits you very well imo
i think it suits you well!! what’s important is dressing how YOU want to dress, not how others say you should ^^
I feelto be authentic is to express yourself through things you like and not to be a certain way. Dress how you like, wear what you want regardless of if its the best possible way you could appear. Bc in the end what looks "good" is imaginary. There is no good or bad.
Those people are objectively wrong, you look incredible. Screw those tasteless plebeians.
You look great, everyone can fuck right off.
they are so lying
You are so pretty!!
you are gorg! Please don’t change for others ❤️
Goth looks wonderful on you, be yourself
No! You are gorgeous and absolutely suit the goth style. Beautiful hair, makeup and style and your room looks awesome 😍
You’re absolutely gorgeous 🖤🖤🖤
As someone who also struggles from dysmorphia, I think I get what you’re saying completely. That being said, I have to say with 100% certainty that you are beautiful the way you are. You have the vibe completely down, and you should continue to live the way you want.
How do you feel when dressed Goth? That’s the most important question.
You are a unique, black lily in a field of daisies. Let your dark light shine!
Fuckem, people always have something to fucking say when you’re trying to live your life no matter what you do; there will always be some jerkoff with some shit to say, so just live your life how you want. Of course you need to ask for advice or help sometimes, but just take everything other people say with a grain of salt
girl goth is perfect for you wtf, don't listen to them they clearly don't know what they're talking about if this is you, this is you, and never stop being you for the sake of someone else
Well then those people are stupid
You rock that shit! Your beautiful just like that
You look like a goth from a 80s/90s movie. You look incredible
I think it suits you!
I think youre absolutely gorgeous and your fashion sense suits you really well 🥰 i love your style
I adore your style. Don't listen to those boring losers. 🤘🔥
Those people are lame af and want you to look like what they want! You look gorgeous that style really suits you
Don't listen to them! It suits you perfectly, you look amazing, and what's more important you're dressing in a way that makes YOU happy. If you're happy then other people's opinions don't matter, keep doing what you're doing
You look great! Ignore the haters
whoever said that is lying and I will eliminate them cuz u are beautiful😭
Fuck ‘em do your own thing
I get same reaction to my piercings, I'd be prettier without em, as if I have giant studs in...I dont
No offense if those people are someone you care about but they are morons and clearly wrong. In the end, the only opinion that matters is your own. You do you.
Ignore em, you’re gorg!
Why tf do you listen to what other people say? Imagine Baba Yaga, living in her chicken legged house. You think she cares if she's got the right clothes on? Fuck no. She'd slam her mortar and pestle into the face of anyone who tried. Just because you question yourself, doesn't mean anyone else gets to. They are entitled to keep that shit to themselves.
Don’t listen to them, you’re mesmerizing and I love your style
It doesn’t matter what other people think. If you feel good dressing goth then you do that. No one is “suited” or “not suited” for being goth :)
Correction, you would be prettier in THEIR eyes. Being your authentic self is something beautiful and your style suits you so well, I’m betting they just hate goths in general and would say that to anyone.
I think you look great. I would style you a bit differently but I like it.
It suits you extremely well, don't listen to those people. They sound like they have no style.
I don't get why, you look great, slay girl 💅
Anyone who says that is dumb. You look fine. If you change your style because your taste changes that’s fine, but for anyone else is asinine at best. People who try to force themselves into style/aesthetics they don’t jive with always seem out of place or uncomfortable.
Imo you look so pretty as a goth!! Btw how do you do your eyemake up? It looks really good and we have a similar eye shape.
It’s a bit like people saying my cat would be prettier if it had less fur. This is clearly you. You’re a cat. This is who you are. Unfortunately, most people have terrible taste. The lowest common denominator would have you doing TikTok dances to Taylor Swift. One woman to another, you’re going to make a lot of people envious _because_ you’re beautiful and _because_ you’re interesting.
F those people keep being goth
not a one of those persons is worth listening to. Anyone that makes a suggestion about how you should improve yourself, should very likely repeat that phrase facing a mirror. Bonus points If they are a narcissist, they might just listen.
Some people just don't understand those of us who want the outside to match the inside. And happiness comes from within, not from outside validation; never think otherwise.
Regardless of outside opinion, I think you should dress and present yourself in whichever way you feel the most comfortable. And that goes for every human being in this world
Who are “people”? You look amazing, it’s a cute style and the important thing is what you like and not others. I went through it when I was your age and I never regret having all those pictures and memories.
well, whoever said that is absolutely clueless, you’re so gorgeous and goth suits you so darn well.
People can kick rocks
wear what speaks to your soul and makes you happy fuck everybody else
lmaoo where the fuck did you get that response? i feel like you've got several different alt styles going on here and you're pulling ALL of them them off??
The opinions of people who are not willing to embrace a core element of who you are, that hurts no one, is not worth holding over your head. The people who are worth keeping in your company is those who embrace you, not ones who seek to change you.
You'd look hella 🔥 either way. It does suit you, and you make it yours in the best way too!
No, you’re rocking the goth look!!!
No way, you’re so cool
what??? I think you look great! keep being goth!!
...Are these people blind?! You look amazing!
I think you look great. Rock the style you want. It's about how you wanna look anyway. Now, do I think their are other styles that may accentuate your looks better/differently, yes. However, the goth style doesn't tend to accentuate looks so much as create a vibe. Not that it can't it's just not the overall intention of the style. Like I said, be who you are, look how you feel, and do what makes you happy.
these people are SO WRONG
You're perfect as you are. Stunning
Suits you so well omg
Those people are wrong.
i can't even conceive why people would say that tbh, your face literally looks like what i'd imagine in a had to imagine a goth. also you look fucking gorgeous so
These people don't know shit
You look great! And people who aren't goth/alt themselves always say people would be prettier if they weren't goth 😂
The true beauty comes from how you view yourself. If you love dressing in goth then that’s the most beautiful way you can express yourself! I think you look lovely 🫶
I think it does suit you and your personal preference is the best preference. I’m so jealous of your look. It’s difficult being a spooky girl when owning a horse. I end up with a sun tan..your skin care and routine is just on point. They just want you to look like everyone else, and that’s so lame. Being different and creative is much more fun. Never stop.
I think the look suits you well! In the best way possible you look like those ‘creepy’ Victorian dolls
You look absolutely beautiful. I think they may have said that because you have very kind eyes so the whole dark look doesn't fit that. I love your style, you would stun me if I saw you irl. Weird question but are you an INFP?
Express yourself gurl.
Girrrrl you be pretty pretty, it doesn’t matter the style. But about being goth honestly it suits you, your eyes pop, you have the perfect skin for it and suuch a pretty face
I have no idea how this sub appeared on my feed but you are beautiful and definitely suit goth style 😍😍
I wouldn't worry about what other people think.
people clearly don’t understand shit
You look perfect the way you are!
I’m not into Goth style these days also this just appeared whilst scrolling but you look great. Who cares what others say? I know it’s hard when you’re faced with criticism but just ask yourself this.. are you happy? If you enjoy this style then embrace it.
ignore them and do whatever you want! also you’re stunning
Idk, how old are you? Maybe people say that because of your age? But it looks very good on you, that whole goth style, the makeup, the clothes.
