Dentist this morning, numbing bla bla bla.
I noticed this afternoon when smiling it was still numb and I couldnāt smile properly!
It felt like the end of the world and I really panicked that my face may be permanently like this..
Thereās so much going on in the world and all I care about is this, Iām so shallow!!
So my question is, would this bother you this much? How do you judge your vanity? |

Through the day I don't bother wearing make up, only really wear it if I'm going out, if I can leave the house in the morning and I've remembered to brush my hair, that is a good day for me! šŖ |

Ā Ā I donāt think a smile is vanity. A smile from someone can brighten up a day.
I think Iām kinda vain. I like to express my personality through my clothing choices.
A bit of pride doesnāt make you a bad person. |

Ā I had no feeling in one side of my nose for over a month once after getting a tooth out it's a horrible feeling, just because other people have worse problems doesn't make yours invalid and the fact that you're asking this question shows a healthy ability to self reflect so don't beat yourself up |

OP a little vanity is a necessary evil in the modern world. Which dentist in Reading was it?
I happen to have an appointment tomorrow morning too.

Ā Any physical change is going to be a shock, particularly if it's your face. That bit of panic is entirely natural and not really vanity.
You'd be vain if you were still panicking about it.
I had a bells palsy (partial facial paralysis) and it was a pain in the ass. I didn't panic about what people might think, but that was partly because I was glad I wasn't having a stroke. 
Admittedly the micro aggressions from some colleagues who clearly were horribly vain were kinda sad though.

"Meant to say worrying that numbing stuff won't wear off isn't vanity! Everytime I go to the dentist and they use that stuff I panic its not gonna wear off."
Absolutely pooped my pants. Thought I was overreacting š¤£ |

Ā Everyone likes to feel and look good but there obvs different levels for each person, I would say it starts to become vanity when you judge both you own and other peopleās worth based on looks which is clearly not a good thing!! |

Ā Ā Ā Iām very aware of how people look at you different if you have something wrong on your face - Iāve had black eyes from football and people definitely look and you can see the recoil before they correct themselves.
I shave my head and I used to be more vain with hair; now I donāt really care. I think giving less of a fuck what people think is an age thing.

Ā Ā Ā It would bother me if I couldn't smile properly, so if that makes me vain, so be it.
I had bells palsy a few years ago and my mouth was really wonky for a few weeks. I was very self conscious about it & people stared when I was out.
I'm not vain as in wearing much make up of having any treatments etc.
When I go to work like today, I only wear mascara & that's because I have v pale eyelashes. |

I am not really one of those beautiful types to really warrant being vain.
As someone who spends most of her life never feeling good enough/attractive enough, I can imagine its a pretty shitty experience if you aren't used to feeling insecure.
Don't beat yourself up over it |
