Is changing a feature of your body or face ( such as dyeing hair) a sign of weakness/unconfidence?

If someone were to dye their head hair, facial hair, eyebrows; get any kind of peircing or tattoo; or, even liposuction or plastic surgery ( all of which change your physical appearence. some of which, however, are more healthy then others)... could any of that be a reason to suspect that this person shows unconfidence ( and a sense of weakness) with his/her current image and self esteem; and so wants to change it in order to create a better "social fit".



Please DON'T respond with a "they do it to look better for themselves". Saying this would assume that this person has never been influenced by society in any way and is having these ideas out of complete thin air, which IS NOT true. They clearly see others doing these things and so have the idea to do it themselves.



So again, my question is: would causing these changes be a result of being unconfident and weak psychologically?

dying hair, peircing, tattoo - for attention seekers



surgery - low confidence



they're different, so to speak.

Boy, I sure hope not! I'm a hairstylist and I need these people's



money- These people are simply vain!

The answer is "no." "Why" people do things is very individualistic, and has to do with what they want to get as a result of what they do. Some people are more concerned with how they appear (either to themselves or others), and other people, while not caring in terms of "egotism" still care in terms of looking good to other people.



Certainly it is a complete error to say that purposeful changes in physical appearance are a sign of weakness of lack of self-confidence.
