Pretty Girl Complex (PGC)

Girls with Pretty Girl Complex are CLEARLY hot, but oblivious to the hotness they exude to others. This results in many people getting confused as to how you feel about them (just friends?) since they are never aware of those who are attacted to them. Regardless of how this hot girl views herself, she never sees herself on the level others do. So unlike Pretty Girl Syndrome sufferers, this girl does not knowingly take advantage of others around them. This girl just thinks everyone is just being nice/normal...when in actuality their actions are directly influenced by her hotness. Informing a girl with PGC of her condition usually results in her shock and disbelief.

Ellen and James have been friends for 2 years. Ellen incorporates James into all her groups of friends. They eat lunch/dinner together frequently. They like a lot of the same things. He always seems to be available to her and Ellen loves to be social/hang. Then James confesses his love to Ellen and she is taken aback...thinking they were just "friends "and is confused as to what would make him think otherwise...all of which are symptoms of Pretty Girl Complex (PGC)..

The Pretty Girl Complex

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.
