I honestly think if I looked different it would help me. My social anxiety would still be there but my deep depression and existential anxiety wouldn't be.
I don't think I'm ugly - but I'm 21 and look about 16 (sometimes younger, sometimes older, depending on what I'm wearing, hair, makeup, etc.); I'm also shorter and I have small hands and feet, which I think contribute to this overall young look and I feel self-conscious about my hands.
It's weird because I've been told I look great without makeup by more than one person, but then on the other hand I get shocked looks when I tell them I am 21 (22 next month!). So it's a love-hate feeling towards my appearance, but... meh. Looks are important but they aren't what make a human life, well, a human life. Take them for what they are I suppose. It's kind of odd if you think about it, how no one chooses what they look like and yet they are judged so strongly for it. Nature is strange.
Anyway, young-looking I can deal with, but if I could change one thing about myself it would be my hands. I just think they are too small (many people here already know that by now
).
