Question from a reader:
Do those who criticize Ayumi Hamasaki’s aging face feel jealous of her?
Criticism of Ayumi Hamasaki’s Aging Face and the Relationship with Jealousy
I often hear voices criticizing Ayumi Hamasaki’s aging face. As a fan of hers, it can be a painful moment to hear. I have many memories of being moved by her music and performances.
One day, while talking about her with a friend at a café, I was told, “She looks a bit older in her recent photos.” It’s true that the passage of time affects everyone, especially public figures who are more susceptible to such scrutiny. This made me wonder if, deep down, those who criticize her might be harboring jealousy.
The Psychology of Jealousy and Self-Projection
When people become critical of others, it often hides their own insecurities and feelings of jealousy. During my conversation with my friend, she mentioned, “Ayumi Hamasaki is successful, so any flaw she has stands out.” It’s true that when someone is successful, even the smallest imperfection tends to draw attention. I have experienced this myself. Observing high-achieving classmates in college, I sometimes felt my own shortcomings more keenly and would find myself searching for their faults.
The Feelings Behind the Criticism
In Ayumi’s case, criticizing her looks or age might be a form of self-defense. It seems that some people may try to distract themselves from their own anxieties and feelings of inferiority by criticizing others. There are times when I focus too much on my own appearance and overlook those around me. Reflecting on this, I can understand the mindset of those who criticize.
In Conclusion
Within the hearts of those who criticize Ayumi Hamasaki’s aging face may lie jealousy and their own insecurities. Of course, criticism is not a good thing, but by touching on the human psychology behind it, I believe we can gain a deeper understanding. I also plan to look inward before being critical of others. So, what do you all think? I would love to hear your opinions on Ayumi Hamasaki or any personal experiences you’d like to share in the comments. Hearing various perspectives can be enjoyable and may lead to new discoveries.
