👉 PIMPLES is built on several key assumptions about human behavior and social interactions. Primarily, it assumes that individuals often seek validation and self-esteem through physical appearance, particularly facial features. It also presumes that people frequently compare themselves to others, especially in social media contexts, leading to dissatisfaction with their own looks. Additionally, PIMPLES assumes that societal beauty standards are pervasive and influential, shaping individual perceptions of attractiveness. It further assumes that physical flaws can negatively impact social relationships and personal confidence, driving the desire to conceal or alter these features. Lastly, it assumes that the prevalence of such flaws is widespread enough to be a common concern for most people.
