Mean Girl Predators Anonymous 131854
I went to the hair salon and got my hair done. Afterward, the hairstylist started taking pictures of me to advertise her work on Instagram without asking for my permission. It made me feel really insecure, and then she did the typical, “Oh no, sweetheart, you’re so gorgeous.”
I really hate that kind of “baby girl” manipulation some women use with other women, acting overly nice and showering you with compliments while taking advantage of you or dismissing how you actually feel.
I call it the “baby girl” act because it reminds me of a certain YouTuber who has that exact performative personality (rhymes with Yasmin Fan)

>>131854Is that supposed to be you in the picture? If it is I think you look nice but I could certainly understand the frustration with this. Given they're effectively using you as advertising without paying, you could likely sue them if you're in the US. I'd ask them to take it down if they posted it already

compliments are levied to shut down insecure people when a person can't be bothered to deal with them, but still wants to seem like they're giving a thoughtful reply. or wants to just get on with something, like this lady needing your photos for her social media. if you kept rejecting her then she'd be inconvenienced; so of course she defaults to petty babyish soothing. it's so utterly self centred and irritating. people will always opt to save face at the cost of outright neglecting people's dignity. sure, it's uncomfortable to acknowledge self image issues, but why rely on a cheap dismissal like "you're so gorgeous" as if that fixes anything

>>131885Sorry sorry I'm a prankster at heart you see. It's in my nature to tease a bit. I do think your complaints are reasonable which is why it's important to stand up for yourself in the moment.
