Do you think you're ugly?

Ugly can mean different things. My personality is ugly to some people. My shy face and body language is ugly to some people.

I'd say I'm both ugly and good-looking, as weird as that sounds.

Well, I think that "beautiful" and "attractive" are two different concepts, even if they are somehow linked with one another. There are beautiful people who are not attractive (at least in my opinion) and there are attractive people who are not really pretty. Anyway, I'm neither.

It's very possible.
Alot of people look totally different depending on the angle you look at them.
'make sure you get my good side' definitely applies.

My nose was broken and now it twists to the right and has a big bump on the bridge. From one angle, my nose slopes up; from the other side, it slopes down.
I'm 2 different people depending on the angle-- and several more straight on.

i wonder if you only see those details as "ugly" because of the ugly events associated with them

to others they may make you look all the more attractive

I think it's also related to confidence thing... Most of the time I feel super ugly. That's why I don't feel comfortable taking solo pics with other people's camera. Because when I do see my pic and I look ugly then I couldn't delete it. But whenever I see people who loves posing in pictures who are not that pretty but they look more attractive because they are more confident. So I am thinking, if ever I change my face maybe I would be less shy but I don't think my SA will be gone. In able to gain real confidence, physical aspect shouldn't be the main basis. I see lots of people who are less abled, or who are totally not beautiful but they got lots of friends and they act so freely and comfortable with themselves. That's what I wanna achieve.

as proven by this forum i dont think looks and SA are linked that much to be honest its the best looking god darn forum ive ever seen yet we all think we are ugly. and there people out there who look not so good think they look frickin amazing and are so confident they kind of trick people in to believing its true.

As Gok Wan would say its all about the confidence :D

How can one determine if they are good looking or not? Its interesting to see so many obviously good looking people calling themselves ugly. The only reason I think I am ugly is because I am just ignored and overlooked pretty much all the time. If you get told you are attractive and have lots of attention....all the time... wouldnt that be enough to convince someone that they have at least some good looks?

Yeah but what if you are just satisfied with the way you look? Like, when you look in the mirror you like what you see? Not in conceited way, but a healthy way. Other than that, you CAN only go by what others say. It's either both or one or the other.

I get so obsessive over this. I always avoid looking in mirrors because I look so scraggly and just off somehow. But even more than that I'm getting preoccupied with my height, I'm 5'4.5-5'5 which isn't all that tall but I still feel like a giant. Maybe being at a relatively similar level to everyone else intimidates me or something I don't know but I really wish I was much shorter

eh? :confused:

My only physical complaint is that I was skinny/average build my whole life until last year when I suddenly started gaining weight.

I've always been lucky and basically just been averagely active and had the metabolism to stay skinny. This past year or so my SA has taken over my life and I've become very sedentary (not active; couch potato) and I guess my metabolism slowed.

Now I'm working out everyday and I'm actually like putting a decent amount of effort into it which is surprising. Maybe in a few months I'll feel better than ever about how I look?

I typically try very hard to avoid optimism because from experience I know it only leads to disappointment but this time I can't help myself. Maybe it's the sudden reintroduction of adrenaline and body chemistry that was dormant for quite some time while I was hiding in this sedentary lifestyle.

I'm pretty sure even less people would put up with me if I looked the way I want, and maybe this is a generalization and judgmental but I suspect the people who would like me I'd hate. Even though I know this though I work out everyday and want more than anything to look a certain way.

Humans are such stupid animals. :rolleyes:

lots of people would tell me I'm good looking but I never believed it, and i am not very photogenic. If everyone was beautiful would life be easier to deal with?
