How do you define your appearance?

[Psychedelicious]

It's just a thought

I think I am UGLY. I see my myself sometimes and I'm disgusted, and I can't believe I'm the way I am. I can understand why no one would like me actually. Especially my nose, it's like not even in proportion with the rest of my face. I don't know if fixing it would help, I sure hope it wouldn't make me fixated on something else.

I'm 23. I'm starting to get wrinkles on my face. They're not very big but when I look at them they look like huge valleys to me.

I have an unhealthy need for perfection. I feel like I hate very bit of my body that isn't perfect (which is pretty much everything). I hate my hair, my nose, my thighs, my height, the proportions of my body and whatnot....I hate a lot about my appearance. But the thing is, I don't consider myself ugly compared to other people. I just consider myself ugly compared to MY own standards.

I totally feel that...I used to be a model before I became disabled and I would sit there for hours obsessing over my makeup thinking something was wrong, something could look better, etc. It was pretty stupid because I knew people considered me gorgeous, my problem was that I didn't look good enough for MY own unreasonable standards.

Now I have a lot of problems accepting myself because of my back and leg braces but, I think that's a little more legitimate lol.

I guess now I define my appearance based on how well I can hide my braces under the outfit I'm wearing. It pretty much sux.

I think I pretty much define myself as I actually am. I'm rather boring and plain looking, overweight, and balding. I've been making an effort lately to straighten up when I stand, walk, or sit. I wear plain clothes, as I don't like attracting too much attention. When I talk I sound like a 14 year old boy. I hate my voice although I can hit most notes when I sing along with certain metal bands. And I rather dislike the Mid-Atlantic accent I have when I talk, but at the same time I'm strangely proud of it.

Overall I guess my definition of my appearance is pretty much like my appearance itself: it's there, so take from it what you will.
