Yes it can: In today's world we are constantly bombarded with beautiful people on TV, internet and magazines. Seeing people we perceive as more attractive can lead to self-esteem issues and potentially to anxiety. Every person is unique and valuable. Not everyone can be a hunk or teen idol. Many attractive people are very shallow. Begin improving your self-esteem with self help websites or literature.
