"People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart"

About this Quote

This quote by Candice Bergen speaks to the concept that charm can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, people might see charm as a blessing, yet on the various other hand, it can set you apart from others. When people see somebody as gorgeous, they may view them as an object rather than a person, as well as project a set of assumptions onto them. This can be a worry, as it can be tough to meet these assumptions. It can also be isolating, as people may not take the time to learn more about the individual behind the elegance. Inevitably, appeal can be a blessing, but it can also be a source of stress as well as alienation.
