Apparently there are far too many people admiring student Felicia Czochanski. The 20-year-old has written an essay for Cosmopolitan magazine, entitled ‘People Judge Me Because I’m Pretty.’
Czochanski is fed up of men staring at her as she travels around the city, or people underestimating her intelligence because of her looks. “Coming to terms with being perceived as ‘beautiful’ wasn’t easy,” Felicia, who is a student at Fordham University in New York, writes.
“Imagine how it feels to have heads turn and all eyes on you when you are simply trying to get to where you need to be,” she continues. “It doesn’t make me feel beautiful or sexy. It makes me feel like there’s something wrong with me. The scrutiny is never ending.”
Felicia describes herself as a “girlie girl” who is “5-foot-5 (168cm) with blonde hair, big hazel eyes, 34DDs, and toned calves.” She complains that “people seemed to forget or simply ignore my accomplishments. They disregarded the fact that I’m an athlete, I’m intelligent, and I’m incredibly ambitious.”
The aim of the article, according to Felicia is to be “appreciated for more than just my looks and respected for who am I as a person.”
She continues in the article to say that because of all the unwanted attention, eventually she started wearing baggy clothes in an effort to cover herself up. “I dulled myself down, personality- and appearance-wise, for years, trying to be appreciated for something other than my looks”, she writes.
“The scrutiny is never ending. The immediate thoughts of whether my skirt is too short or my shirt is too low cause me to doubt the professional outfit that I put on in the morning. I wonder if there’s something stuck to my shoe, if I forgot to put on some item of clothing, anything that could be wrong with me that would cause people to stare. But it’s typically just because I’m “pretty,” and sometimes, it seems like that’s all society will perceive me to be.”
She says rather than giving her confidence, she claims her attractive appearance has led people to take her at face value.
Of course, because of her article, the internet is all fired up. Her attempt to win over readers with her problems backfired and many readers have criticised her.
“It looks like we have found Derek Zoolander’s long lost sister” wrote one commenter, while another remarked “this is the most self-absorbed, narcissistic thing I’ve ever seen on the internet. It’s a humble brag minus the ‘humble,’ masquerading as a ‘woe is me’ op-ed.”
