A famous Taiwanese American singer, Fei Xiang, has long been admired by countless women for his striking appearance and powerful stage presence.
Yet during a talk show, he openly questioned why society places so much importance on physical appearance. He shared that as a child, he was bullied for being chubby. And even now, despite being praised by so many as incredibly attractive, he still finds it difficult to truly believe what others say about his looks.
That does not mean he lacks confidence. He believes in himself and his abilities. But when it comes to appearance, there is still a quiet gap between how others see him and how he sees himself.
What stood out to me most was his honesty about the emotional cost of being admired for something he still struggles to accept. His story reflects a deeper truth that many of us feel. Even when we are confident in who we are, it can still feel unsettling to be valued mainly for how we look. That disconnect can feel painful, especially when what we truly long for is to be loved for who we are on the inside, not just for the way we appear.
I truly admire his strength and self-awareness. His story is a reminder that real confidence is not about meeting other people's expectations. It is about having a clear understanding of who we are beneath the surface. And from that place, we can begin to choose how we want to live, love, and show up in the world.
