Do good looking people know they are good looking?

[Richmondbread]

My father was average but my mother was indeed beautiful. I know this to be true, from an objective stand point. She had beautiful bone structure, always meticulously dressed, was model thin, and rather tall for her Era (5'7.5) She did modeling in New York and was also a part time actress. Yet, she never felt beautiful, or pretty enough. Even as she entered middle age she was attractive. She got hit on by lots of men. But she felt plain . She would stand in front of the mirror and beat her hair brush on the table and scream about how hideous she looked. I wonder if people under estimate their beauty? Or maybe this is just something women do. I am a man , and I can very well know I am hopelessly average. I suppose I didn't inherit my mom's or good looks. My Great-Grandfather was the most handsome man in Richmond. Not me. Average people seem to know they're average, but do beautiful people know they're beautiful?

If they happen to not be aware, then eveyone else around them will remind them.

Not all of them do.

Not always, although behaviour of people around will tell you
very soon

I have had a total of maybe 5 women (outside my family) tell me that I was handsome. I assume that means I'm only slightly above average.

As a good-looking person, no, I dont know I am a good-looking person

Haha, it's same here. When I was child, they were calling so. Now, even my family, relatives don't say so lol.
As answer, yes. I'm sure they know. Also, daily lookism may remind it frequently too.

Yes, but after she turned 40, she was worried her looks would start to quickly fade , and I think that must be a difficult thing for the "beautiful people" to go through. So she died at 52. Sad.
