Yeah I was also very put off by that. "What matters is how you feel." - "Well, like shit, Dad" would be the natural way this conversation would go. "Do you feel pretty in that outfit?" - "No I feel like shit in it". We all try to stand above it but for most of us, from 99 compliments and 1 insult, we will remember the latter. It takes one person to ruin your day.

"Do you feel pretty in that outfit?"
"Not any more" "I'm sorry Sarah ruined that outfit for you. Do you still want to wear it outside of school?" Nothing about the one version of the conversation implies the other is unlikely. Both versions are plenty common.
