Woman Started Twitter Thread for People Who Hate Their Noses and It Quickly Gained Traction
Unfortunately, many people don’t like the way they look. We’re not talking about disliking your looks as you get older, like wishing you didn’t have gray hair or wrinkles. We’re talking about people who have disliked the way they look since they were children.
While plastic surgery can change our features drastically, embracing your own beauty and not falling victim to some imaginary standard of beauty is very empowering.
Twitter user @hollyhopkins_ posted a picture of her side profile on Twitter. She explained that she has not always liked the way her nose looked from the side, but she has learned to love it. She wrote, “it’s okay if your nose looks like all the “before” pictures.”

“One of My Proudest Features”
I grew up hating my nose and being made fun of because I had a ‘Jew nose’ in a Baptist town. Now it’s one of my proudest features and anytime I see someone else with a nose like mine I call it the Gaga Nose 👃🏼 💕 pic.twitter.com/HMxG78oiop
