person who builds confidence by belittling others' appearance may use the following types of speech: 1. **Direct criticism of appearance**: - For example, "Your hairstyle is disappointing." - "Your outfit doesn't look right for this occasion." 2. **Comparative belittling**: - "Compared to me, your figure is far inferior." - "You're not as attractive as others." 3. **Sarcasm and ridicule**: - "Wow, you look particularly 'unique' today." - "Your outfit is really unique, I haven't seen it before." 4. **Belittling specific features**: - "Your skin looks bad and you break out easily." - "Those glasses make you look a little funny." 5. **Negating others' confidence**: - "Don't worry, your appearance won't attract anyone." - "You don't need to worry about these details, it's useless anyway." 6. **Questioning others' choices**: - "Why did you choose clothes like that? I don't know about your taste." - "Does this hairstyle really suit you?" These speeches are usually intended to divert attention and boost one's own sense of self-worth by belittling others. However, this behavior can have negative effects on both relationships and one's own emotional well-being. Healthier ways to build confidence include developing self-awareness, accepting one's own shortcomings, and positively engaging and supporting others.
