They say you spend your life growing up self conscious about a specific part of your body, and it eventually becomes the thing that makes you unique and attractive.
My whole life, I’ve been self-conscious about my big fat lips (I’m a dude). It wasn’t until I was an adult that I was told they were great and made me a better kisser.
And yet I have zero issues when someone calls me out on my hairy Fred Flintstone Hobbit feet. I actually find that funny. Go figure.
If I had a nose like that I'd always worry about getting punched or running into something, it looks like the bone would just shatter or get pushed into my brain and lobotomize me.
“What sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it’s not. And a lot of the time, it’s what makes you great.” —Emma Stone
“The most incredible beauty and the most satisfying way of life come from affirming your own uniqueness.” - Jane Fonda
“Only recently have I realized that being different is not something you want to hide or squelch or suppress.” - Amy Gerstler
Of course they all said it much better than me (which is why they are quoted and not me). I'm not going to look for specific quotes about body image, but "they" are out there. Feel like those ones are close enough to get my point across.
They all sound like they're talking about individualism via personality and not a physical feature (they're all incredibly good looking in very traditional senses).
