Journal 68: What’s His Problem?

Prufrock is scared of rejection because he felt like his time has passed for flirting with girls. He feels like he is old and not attractive and thus his low self-confidence is a contributing factor to his bad image as well. Sometimes, it is not about physical appearance. Physical appearance is part of it. However, confidence plays a major role in how one presents himself and how one presents himself plays a major and almost absolute role in how he is perceived. A confident average looking person might be more attracting to the opposite sex than a above average looking guy that constantly diminishes self-image and thinks poorly of himself is. Having a belief that you yourself is not worthwhile will generate the aura that spreads to other people carrying a message that tells them that you are not worthwhile. How fun is talking to a person who constantly needs assurance from people to tell them they're attractive and constantly saying bad things about themselves. It's like babysitting a depressed teenager, not very fun. It's also sometimes annoying just like how a person would be annoyed when a nerd that always gets 100 keeps on saying how bad she did on the test but always gets a 100 in the end. Very annoying and not very attractive.
