Society thinks I am ugly

I don't know, perhaps it's coz I don't like everyone else (I'm a bit different looking, both my parents are ethnic sorta heh), but I'm just NOT the type that appeals to guys :bawling:

Why was I born ugly, and I need help in dealing with just not fitting in. I consider myself to be a nice + thoughtful person, but lately I've had comments about my appearance which has really brought my self-esteem RIGHT down.

Just because I'm not airbrushed + perfect, doesn't mean I'm bad person!

Anyone who makes serious, rather than jokey (although the line's often blurred) negative comments about your appearance isn't really somebody you want much to do with or need to think highly of. Just tell them to **** off.

Thankyou :wink:

Yeah these comments, some were said behind my back, but I found out anyway.

I guess it's important (looks) to some people then hey. But I actually CARE about my appearance so found the comments hurtful.

Someone said something about how, unlike other girls where their beauty is more outstanding - inviting you to look at them, I'm more harsh or something in my appearance.

Dont listen to the people who say stuff about your appearance.
as not every single person will feel the same as a few jackarses.
You seem like a nice person to me and thats all that matters at the end of the day as im sure your a attractive girl in your own way to.
The people who judge you on your apperance are people you dont want in your life. Assuming you are still school/uni age, once you get out into the world proper, you can pull away from these people and be yourself. Until then, keep your chin up and know that you are nice and thoughtful person, someone who people need deep down. I was always bullied 'cos I was unattractive (I refused to wear make-up and tone, cleanse and moistureise) and plump. But in the end, you find the people who care about you, not your looks, and they help you get through.

Ethnicity does not mean ugliness, it is a beauty all its own. And there are a million generically pretty girls out there which is great for them but being a little bit unique and a little bit different is a blessing. Many women would love to look interesting and exotic.

Some guys might find it hard to 'get' a different type of beauty as they've been exposed to mainly one form of attractiveness. But there are some men who appreciate different types of beauty, and you will find that men will be attracted to you, because you look different not in spite of it. Trust me, I've been through the same thing.

I hate to say this, but sometimes you just can't fit in. Physical differences can make you stand out, but this doesn't have to be in a bad way. Whatever your level of physical attractiveness, you have to be confident in who you are as a person. The physical is not who you truly are, and those who attack your looks are most likely insecure or saying without thinking (as we all do from time to time).

There was a guy I kind of thought was attractive who I was talking to one day.

He told a friend of mine after I had left that he didn't want to speak to me again because he only wanted the company highly attractive girls. Just one example!!!!

Then he's a ****** Seriously, if he was worth knowing he wouldn't specify a level of attractiveness that all his friends need to meet. What a loser he is.

So that guy is clearly a immature shallow arse.
I really wouldnt let comments from people like that get you down to much, dont make yourself think your ugly based on a few comments, your not ugly sure i not seen you but everyone is gorgeous in there own way.

Thanks everyone :wink:

What annoyed me the most was that he didn't even KNOW me! He just assumed I wasn't worth knowing because I didn't look like everyone else.

Anyway that's a random event, I've had worse.

Ignore the comments. It shows what they know? trying to put you down for no reason. Also theres no such thing as a type that doesnt appeal to guys (if we're talking about society in general) individually someone may not of fancied you, but theres people I suspect that you dont fancy.

what is attractive is confidence and if you show whomever says that to you that you dont care, that'll win over.
