Girl with Pretty Issues
noun
A dangerously pretty girl who lives off iced coffee, impulse decisions, and main character energy. She might have 37 unread texts, a situationship she won’t define, and a habit of overspending when she’s bored—but she’ll always show up looking like she has her life together. And that’s the magic.
She’s chaotic, mysterious, and emotionally evasive—but it’s giving iconic, not insane. Her vibe is “mentally unstable but make it fashion.”
She’s not messy. She’s curated.
She’s not crazy. She’s couture.

This complex involves a cognitive distortions around beauty, value and safety. Cognitive distortions are irrational thoughts that can influence one's feelings and behaviors. A belief that not being the prettiest girl by social comparison usually by definition of an ideal beauty standard, could lead to physical danger may be an example of "catastrophizing," where an individual unconsciously predicts that the worst possible outcome is likely to occur.
I struggle with The Pretty Girl Complex, so I haven't been going to parties because I can't emotionally regulate or have fun when I see other women getting more attention than me.
