Do you feel like people are treating you differently? Out of nowhere?

Maybe you haven’t noticed that your body is changing, almost like a second puberty. It could be that you are going through a glow-up and you don’t realize it.

Causes

  1. Sudden weight loss.
  2. Fixing your crooked teeth.
  3. Finally learning how to do your makeup or curl your hair deep into your 20s.
  4. Lighting and snapchat filters.
  5. Not having a pre-pubescent body.
  6. Your bangs grew out or your facial hair grew in.
  7. You own a trendy outfit that shows off your body.
  8. Adult acne dwindling or finally having a face wash routine.
  9. A general change in looks that is agreeable with the societally accepted standards of beauty.

Symptoms

1. The people that hit on you are hotter.

You’ll notice that people who shower and have basic hygiene will start asking you out. Don't worry, this is not a mean prank someone is pulling on you. Turns out people want to fuck you now!

Don't fall into the common trap formerly ugly people experience where they think "oh wow this really hot…
