Do you think you're ugly?

If you think or feel that you are ugly then that will surely come across to people that you meet.

M-W definition: offensive or unpleasant to any sense.

In truth, a very small percentage of us would meet that definition. And an even smaller percentage could be considered as 'model' material when it comes to physical appearance. It may be a cliche, but beauty really does come from within.

And you know what, we all get pretty 'ugly' [physically] when we get older. But our inner beauty lasts a lifetime.

I look scary. I mean, I even shock myself when I saw a picture of myself on my handphone.

Yeah, I got snubbed, bullied, look down upon because of my demeanor and vile appearance.

Can't say that I think I'm ugly, Those of you that do think your ugly, I'm sorry you feel that way .......
#144 Report
Not really, but I feel it because I never get out or do anything. Having limited social interactions and relatively few experiences with friends and girls kind of makes you think you're ugly even if it is all down to anxiety and/or shyness.

i don't think i am ugly.many ppl said that i am goodlooking but this hasn't prevent me from losing so many opportunities.and i don't regret it anws.i realize that whatever success in this life and i mean meaningful success comes from the work that happens on the inside

One thing i hate is the fact that when we are kids growing up, we r being brainwashed and i mean really really bad brainwashing.and now we have to work to change that to be able to see the world and other ppl of how they really are.and the most crazy thing is that they have convinced us that is our fault and we now we feel guilt if we r not how ''we are supposed to be''

Pretty or ugly is BS.we r all gonna end up in the same place anyway,looking the same way and the only thing that matters is what we do with ourselves now

I dont think Im good looking... I used to think I was about average, but based on the number of women interested in me Ive changed that thought. However, Im using this to my advantage. If girls arent looking at me then I dont need to feel so self conscious when in public 🙂 Im also finding that its not so bad speaking a few words to girls, knowing that they arent going to ask for my number or anything scary like that.

You are extremely beautiful (your face, your hair etc.). As to me; I'm not only dark under my eyes, but in my eyes too, lol. But then I'm from the Mediterranean. The problem is my severe lack of sleep coupled with depression and anxiety, which makes me much uglier than I am (not that I'm handsome)...

Yep I have olive skin too (although I'm not Mediterranean) and have always had dark shadows underneath my eyes, but my insomnia has made it so that my under eye area is like charcoal now.

It is not unusual for me to go for days at a time without sleep... I leave my house on average once every 2 weeks so I never get any sunlight & sleep through the day.

Don't use my avatar as reference because I look even worse now & I have shaved off all my hair. I do think I am ugly, uglier than ever before, I feel I get worse by the day because my lack of sleep causes my looks to fade even more, it also lowers my immune system. I have severe depression, anxiety and other spectrum disorders which although are "mental" they manifest physically also. Not only do they take their toll on my looks but my physical health is affected now. I have secondary physical problems due to my "mental health". I am glad I found this thread because I feel like no one can relate to me on this. My mother just comments on how sick and pasty I look all the time.

I avoid mirrors too. It's gotten to the point where I can't bear for people to look at me in the face. I have to tell them to look away and if they don't I just cover my face.

Yeah, my appearance is a huge part of my anxiety. I'm overweight, and have an ugly face
#156 Report
no, if I wasn't SA, I can get any girl I want
#157 Report
Yeah, sometimes I consider myself ugly. Well, usually. Sometimes, I feel guilty for being around people because I'm forcing them to look at me, as if I owe them an apology for the way I look.
#158 Report

#159 Report
yep, this beholder does not like the way she looks.
#160 Report
No i don't, i like to think positive about myself. I used to 'hate' myself and moan about it to everyone which was really unattractive itself.
So now im happy to be me and i like many of my features =)
