All You Ever Wanted To Know About Earrings But Were Afraid to Ask
Earrings have been worn throughout history. Archeological evidence shows that people were wearing earrings in Ancient Egyptian times. In ancient Mesopotamia, people wore gold earrings with geometrical designs and circles. The Sumerians recognized gold as the most valuable metal, and their word for “gold” was the same as their word for “eye” (since gold has a golden color) so in many cultures of antiquity earrings were believed to represent an individual’s power of sight or insight.
These days, we wear earrings mostly because they make us feel good. The symbolism of the earrings depends on what you wear and how you wear it.
Option 1: Wear them to be seen as fashionable.
Earrings are a very visible sign of beauty, wealth, or importance, and this makes wearing them very popular among women who want to be noticed by men. In the 1920s, as women strove for more freedom in their dress and behavior, they began wearing larger earrings. These are still popular today - just ask any fashionably-minded girl.
But there is another reason that women wear such earrings in today’s society too: They make us feel good about ourselves and boost our self-esteem. This is a reason that you will see girls wearing earrings with such things as “He’ll Sweep Me Off My Feet” or "I’m Beautiful, I’m Smart, and I Am So Happy".
The symbol used in these earrings really only lives up to half of its promises. There are many instances where these earrings don’t make us feel good about ourselves. For example, one day I went for a walk around my neighborhood and noted that most of the girls whose earrings had those phrases were wearing them on all of their left ears. I’m pretty sure that this trend is a symptom of insecurity - they feel the need to tell themselves (and everyone else) how wonderful they are. More often than not, we end up feeling even worse about ourselves because these earrings don’t actually work.
The other problem with earrings like this is that they can also be used to make us feel bad about ourselves, mainly because of what people believe them to mean. If someone catches you wearing one of these and thinks that you are proud of yourself for being beautiful and intelligent, they might get offended that you think so highly of yourself and want to make you aware of the flaws in your character (by trying to get you into a romantic relationship with them).
When it comes to earrings that feature persuasive phrases, people will see what they want to see. If you don’t already feel good about yourself, you might worry that the earring is trying to tell you that you are not as smart or pretty as you think. If we were 100% certain that we were beautiful and intelligent, these markers wouldn’t be so popular.
If you want to get one of these earrings, make sure that you get a pair for both ears! Also consider wearing them on one ear for a while before putting them on both ears.
Conclusion:
A lot of people wear earrings because they feel they look good wearing them. Earrings can also make you feel better about yourself by making you feel as if your ears are more attractive. This can work, but it depends on the person and on what they wear.
Earrings can also make you feel bad about yourself if someone sees your earrings and thinks that you are proud of yourself for being intelligent or beautiful and intelligent. A lot of people have this reaction, but usually just with one earring. Earrings don't always work, but the ones that do make you feel better about yourself tend to work best for most people.
