Pu the Owl is on a distinguished road
What you said Red is completely right, and I agree with you, but you see, you said you also were a teenager once... teenagers often find very relieving to be "aggressive" or "transgressive" or to appear like that in very particular situations. If that starts to be the habit to earn back your lost self-esteem whenever something unpleasant happens in your life, this becomes a negative or even dangerous thing for your ego (and for your person too). We don't know much about tiger's break up, and it's true there could be some intention to make her ex jealous with this action of posting the pic in a forum. But there are times in which even the most insignificant word or compliment can help you, especially if it's from strangers, persons who don't know you well enough to risk to not be objective. I mean, if you ask to the greatest part of mothers or friends "Do I look good?" they will probably end saying "Yes". Not because they're not sincere, but because they truly think that way, for their affection and love. It's not that this means they want to please you, but... an opinion coming from a stranger is something that sounds a lot more convincing in cases like these, when you know your friends wouln'd hurt you and your self-esteem is at the same time at the lowest levels - but you keep on thinking that after all you deserve more and you're a person of some worth! I'm sure tiger just wanted to have her moment to show she can go on after what happened to her lately. I'm sure she already knows she must count on herself and on her closest friends, that our posts here are not the ultimate way earn her self-esteem back. But you probably can't fully understand since you're not a girl, reading from others you're pretty and so on sometimes helps a lot
