I used to like the princess stuff. I have watched the Disney movie since I was a kid. I was really enjoying these Disney movies, imaging myself as a princess in the movie, with the good-looking face, shinny hair, and the perfect body. I played with Barbie, the beautiful little lady. I always imaged myself as this Barbie, from a rich family, having my prince, wearing all kind of beautiful dresses and having everything I wanted.
I have stopped imaging myself as a princess since I completely known myself couldn't be counted on a "Princess". First of all, I am a not good-looking person. I am not smart, not rich. I am just everybody. After I realized this, I became very self-abasement. I even couldn't make friend with someone I thought they were better than me. I thought they might look down on me. And I believed that only the good-looking people deserve the good thing. The self-abasement hurts me many years. Even until now, it still effects on me a little.
The princess stories or movies didn't teach me something good but the appearance is the most important thing. But this is wrong. It is impossible that everyone has good appearance, the perfect body. Maybe you don't have an attractive face or a sweet voice, but you still can be the special one. Appearance should not be the barrier on your way to be a better person.
I bet you are smart and good looking, and I am very sorry that you think otherwise. I am not surprised that anyone would be made to feel that way because of Barbie or Disney Princesses, but remember that they aren't even close to reality. Your last sentence is correct, you are special. You just have to find out what you are special at.
