I need some help picking myself up at the moment. I basically just discovered that my boyfriend of about a year (now ex) has been cheating on me, and sleeping with my 16 year old sister's best friend during the latter part of our relationship. I'm 19 myself, and I've never felt so terrible about myself before. When I confronted him about this, he was quick to admit to it. He was also quick to subsequently break up with me. He told me I had been lucky to get into a relationship with him at all, because I was 'ugly' and 'who would have my any way'.
Now, I'm not a softie, and I really don't give a **** about him at all, having discovered this. But there is -one- scar that I really can't seem to remove, and that's the malicious attack on my appearance. I feel very ugly, under-appreciated and unwanted. I can't help but wonder whether he's right, 'who would have my any way'? The fact that no boys seem interested in me whatsoever is doing nothing but confirming this...I just don't know what to do. I'm finding myself looking at other girls and wishing I was as beautiful as them. I know I'm not 'great' in the looks department, but I never really thought I was bad enough to be coined 'ugly' either.
I don't know what to do. Please give me advice, are there ways I can make myself better looking? Perhaps makeup routines, skincare regimes? I'm starting to feel like there really is something wrong with me...please help.
And I'm sorry if this sounds very trivial, but it -was- my first ever relationship, which has made it all a very scarring ordeal. I just need some help with self-improvement, and ways I can pick myself up and move on with my life.
