Nowadays, it’s like saturation in the idea that “I suck. I’m boring. I’m ugly” 24⁄7 at the age of 10 or before.
This is why people should move to tumblr, where the people know they’re boring and ugly and celebrate that fact :-)
(I’m joking, but in my experience the LW-tumblr space is very accepting of and open about defects like that. Despite the insistence of calling everyone cute.)
I’m not if it works with physical attractiveness, but in case of intellectual adequacy, I’m just not letting any internal doubts in my competence to interfere with external confidence. Even if I suspect that I’m not as smart as people around me, I still act exactly as if I am.
