life help: I’m not pretty. - Help.com

You say “I’ve told myself lies for 14 years and it’s time to speak the truth” but there really is no truth when it comes to beauty. There is only perception. Remember the saying that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”…that saying IS the truth. You may not think you are pretty or feel like you are pretty, but what you think and feel are not ultimate truths just perceptions. We all have different ideas about what beauty is and yours and mine probably differ. For example, if someone showed me a picture of Johnny Depp and then a picture of my boyfriend and asked me which one is cuter i would say my boyfriend ( he is his losing hair, very short, and getting up there in age) but because i love him i would pick him. In short, don’t place so much importance on your perception or others perceptions of what is pretty. Hold you head up high, enjoy your life, smile, be proud of who you are, and share your love with others…chances are you will be perceived as very beautiful whether you realize it or not.

Are you fourteen years old or do you mean you’ve actually been lying to yourself for fourteen years? If you are fourteen…Relax a little. No one likes the way they look at your age. I’ve been there, I’ve got awful acne and I used to be quite chubby. I’m 20 now, I still have awful acne and suffer from pretty serious body image issues.
I didn’t have my first real kiss until I was eighteen.
Honestly, if you’re not talking to boys, they’re probably not going to seek you out. That’s not how boys you’ve gone to school with all your life i>do. /i>
High school can be hell. I know.
High school is not “society”
And I’m not going to patronize you and tell you that I’m sure you’re very pretty and boys secretly like you, though that may be true. Fact of the matter is a true romantic believes that the person she’s going to fall in love with is going to look at her and See the most beautiful woman on earth, and that everyone deserves that feeling in their life.
So stay strong. There’s someone out there is going to be the only one who’s opinion matters.
That aspect of your life is not the most important one. Take care of yourself for now and eventually that piece of the puzzle will fall into place.
