I feel so ugly…
I’ve never been called pretty except by people who were using it to make fun of me. I always get the “you have really great hair” compliments. I hate mirrors and try to avoid them as much as possible. I don’t even have any pictures of myself.
I know I’m not pretty, probably average-looking at best, but it feels like I will never find love because of the way I look.

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
if it makes you feel beter you can think wow i look better then this random guy on the internet
I kinda was like that…
But believe me, what ppl want to see, is someone with confidence in him…someone strong, and that trust and knows himself…
well, i don’t remember who, but some1 here once said that you can only be ugly if your face it’s been hacked by a psyco killer or if it looks like it’s been melted by lava.. lol and I fully agree.
It’s not that you are really ugly, this world has lots of different ppl, and I’d say that maybe 97% of them can and do find hapiness.. it’s just a matter of time.
If u were born a gorgeous person maybe u’d be different, because they get soo much attention that sometimes they get too spoiled by ppl, also it’s harder for them to find true love because ppl r normally only attracted by their looks, and then they feel pressure to always look ’stunning’ to please other ppl, so it’s all relative..
Also, all the hurt u r feeling, it shapes your personality, it makes you who you are, you need pain in life to become a better person, we all do… the ppl who have been hurt the most are normally the most compassionate.
Maybe it’s just a bit hard for u to socialize and all because you are afraid of rejection, and that stops you from trying to go out there and just have fun.. maybe you just need to go out more, be more active, join clubs or young ppl in any field that could interest you, or learn some martial arts, or go to a gym, get a pet to take out.. stuff like that, just be more active..
Besides take a good look at yourself in the mirror, that’s who you are going to be with for the rest of your life, and that’s pretty good, because you have the legacy of your parents, and your grandparents, i mean, you are probably the product of a lot of work and struggle of lovely ppl.. you have to be proud of who you are.. maybe change what you can, maybe the way you dress, the way your hair is, but do it to please YOURSELF, do what YOU want to do, look how YOU want to look, maybe try different styles and take pictures of yourself, and find what makes you happy.. just keep trying..
When u become more mature you’ll see all these times behind and you’ll see yourself happy, with a family and all.. in the end you will ALWAYS make it, just be comfortable in your own skin, **** everyone else and their opinion.. the opinion of the ppl you really love and trust is the one that matters, the rest of the ppl are irrelevant.
Good luck!
You are beautiful. Why? Because you are unique from anyone one else in this world and you need to find what you think is beautiful about yourself. What makes you beautiful?
You don’t want someone who is only attracted to you for your looks…the whole package is what is truly important.
I know how you feel. I feel the same way. I’m very insecure about how I look. But I try every day to make myself feel good in some way. Trust me, a lot of people don’t know what I go through every day to look acceptable. Most don’t know that I have to comb over my hair because I have bald spots and a visible scalp. I could be all depressed about this, but I choose not to be. Its all down to a choice between positive and negative thinking, yeah? We all have our good days and bad days. Accept and embrace who you are! Its the most important thing :)

thanks moon_break, I actually like who I am on the inside, that’s why I’m not shy in chatrooms, but in real life I am.
youre not ugly! youll find someone one day who will love you and not care how you look. its whats on the inside that really counts. i believe taht everyone is beautiful in their own ways! you dont have to be good looking on the outside to be a beautiful person.
You don’t need someone else to make you feel attractive, you need the confidence in yourself to know that you are.

every girl can be pretty if she tries hard enough. I’ve been convinced of that as I’ve watched girl after girl become beautiful overnight. you see, unlike boys, we have a special advantage. Makeup! ^_^ try it, it works WONDERS!

Well,
If yu have good personaility, let it shine!!!
That is probably a rele important thing hyou should try to do. It might not seem its working at first. but the more you do it then it should make you hopefully more outgoing. you will meet people, and they will sseee in on the inside rather than the out.
try starting with a talent you might have, rather it be sports or artistic.
Tell people and show and prove how well you can do! :-)
Dont be afraid to be who you are.

Real love isn’t based on looks. Average looking people find love too and are often more happy in their marriages. It might help to remember that the average person looks.. well, average. Do what you can to improve your looks with good hygiene, quality (but not faddish) clothes and a confident walk.
Make the intangible qualities inside of you exceptional, and you will find exceptional love.
Whats on the inside ??? people that judge by a persons looks are shallow, you can be a Mel Gibson look alike and be a real pig, yes the first opinion is based on attraction, but when you get to know someone it comes down to a good personality and heart, if you have’nt got those then you have nothing.
if you so unhappy with the way you look maybe you should seek help, else get up go out change your appearence and become happier stop sitting in your self pitty make friends and become a better person, you are as beautiful as you feel. if you dont feel happy then others see that. if you happy with your body and accept it, then that shows. we cant all be the same if we were wouldnt it be a boring place.

Honey I am so fat and I used to think that made me ugly. And yeah I am not the prettiest but I have realized most of what makes a woman beautiful is confidence! My mom who is bigger than I am always got more compliments and its because she can walk into a room and own it! Get really dressed up and made up and go to a club and while you are there just tell yourself you are the sexiest person there and other people with believe it too! Confidence is all it takes! You are gorgeous!!!!!!
I am ugly too. I ve got this huge buckled hooknose, huge google eyes and strange lips. Ive got this oddly shaped head and my hair is terrible no matter what I try to do to make it look better. My body isnt that bad. It used to be really slim and pretty. My classmates said ” She would look good if she would put a paper bag over her ugly face”. But now I am also fat so my body isnt pretty anymore, either.
I feel terrible. I dont to go out, dont want to live my house even for going to the supermarket. I ve got no friends. But that isnt really bad. Because I am tired of being the ugliest - all my friends were ok or even good looking. They never knew how it feels to be ugly((.
So I know really well how You feel. What can I say? Life isnt easy for all of us. But if you are ugly its much more difficult and painfull. Dont believe people who say it doesnt matter how you look. They lie. Ugly people have a really huge handicap in partnerships and in social life. No one wants to go out with an ugly woman or man. Thats REALITY. So the only thing you can do is - try to change your look. Try to do whatever you can to look good
even if everyone says you will never make it. Change your style, learn to put make -up on. And if its nessesary go to a plastic surgery. Thats exactly what I am supposed to do. I dropped out of school and work to get money for plastic surgery. If you are really ugly you just have to be strong and to fight. Because there are no wonders in this world. You will always be discriminated or just ignored and lonely as long as you are ugly.
Dear Alcove198,
OMG!!! don’t say that about yourself. obviously if you avoid mirrors i can’t tell you that you really are pretty and i won’t take the “beauty lies within” route, but i will tell you this: if you can manage everyday and you can get through school without hating yourself or constantly hating your appearance then you can manage looking at a mirror. you are beautiful otherwise you wouldn’t have freinds who take the time to remind you of the little things about you that are fantastic. i consider myself to be ok looking and my friends don’t compliment me everyday. you have to constantly remind yourself that even if you potentially are unattractive (which is HIGHLY unlikely) that you are on this earth for more important things than physical beauty and focusing on your looks. Hopefully you as well as those around you will either learn or decide to look at you for your great talents along with your great hair…
sincerely,
Lauren Bailey.
Sorry my english is so bad because I am from Germany))
I am going to guess that you are female, but if I am wrong, follow my advice except for the makeup part.
Well, what kind of person are you inside? That is really more important than what’s outside. Some of the meanest people I have known have been very good looking.
Now about the outside. How about a makeover? Find a friend who does makeup and dresses really well and ask them to help you out. I don’t know how old you are, but some people get better looking with age.
lol i didnt bother reading what the rest of the ppl wrote , cuz thats heck alot of ppl wanna take part in helping you :)
but anyway , how old are you?
age plays major role in appearance , Read the story the ugly duckling u’ll know what i mean , I base my mind on it and it works fine :)
you know you are probably really pretty. I have noticed in my experience that many times humans just don’t say the obvious. It’s maybe in a way you yourself wouldn’t see, come on the grass is always greener. we like to glamourize a certain look but anyway I am ugly too and by model standards a bunch of people are in this world so what are you telling us that it’s hopeless for us too?
what’s inside of you that makes you great? what do you have that most don’t? find your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses or work on them one at a time. Don’t give up.
Hi Alcove-
The only ugly people I have ever met are those who were self-centered, greedy, ill-mannered and thoughtless. Please note that when ugly people are discussed, it is always because of the “inside” stuff and NEVER only about the “outside” stuff.
If you like and respect yourself on the inside, the outside will take care of itself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder: so behold how beautiful you really are. If someone needs help, do you help them? Do you do the things you know you are supposed to do (parent’s, teacher’s, boss’ directives)? Are you courteous to others? Do you not listen to gossip? I’ll bet that you do everything listed and then some!
One more thing, my friend (and please know that I am not trying to get preachy): If God had wanted you different, He would have made you different. You are EXACTLY what He wanted. No mistakes or goofs. You were made to ’specs’, my dear! After all, God was the One who designed you!! -Cynthia
thanks for all the help guys, I’m Alcove198 but I had to change my email and stuff since then. oi. It’s good to know i’m not alone out there and that people I’ve never met care about me. I am a christian actually, but have strayed away from God. Maybe that’s part of why I’m feeling like this.
God does give you that hope and confidence in life…try going to church every once and a while if you need to.
I know me personally I dont beleive you have to go to church all the time to have the same faith as people who do…but it might be good for you and show you somthing new about yourself!
:-)

yeah, I think God is doing things in my life to lead me back to church, I just don’t know if I can go to a church where I don’t know anyone.

dont worry about going to a church no one knows you.
usually people are very kind in church, so you should feel comfortable after a week or two.
Well..I don’t know what you look like, and I already envy you for your writing talents. Sorry if that’s not much help..But you know, for what it’s worth..

thanks, I feel a lot better about myself now than when I posted this, I was just feeling so bad about myself that day.
