I agree. It's a part of growing up that some people will never understand. Fact is, nobody gives a shit about you, except you, so do it for yourself. You deserve to be the best version of yourself, for yourself.

I don’t think glow ups are meant as an attempt to get someone back. It’s usually a way to mark a fresh new start and to serve as a confidence boost, which is usually needed after getting your heart broken. >

Plenty of people want to improve their appearance as a way to get their ex to want them back/“show them what they lost”. Of course what you described is the healthier way to go about it. >

I was actually thinking the same as this commenter. I think it depends on the mindset and how you perceive a glow-up. Obviously if it's with the aim of getting an ex back, that's a bit sad, but I don't think that's the overall reason people do glow-ups.
