I have an ugly face - what to do?

Had a day out with my mates, took some pics, just viewing them now on my PC. And oh my god, I'm so ugly. I've had many comments like that throughout my life, saying I have a ugly face, and I know I am. It is because I have a round face, and chubby cheeks. But my body is thin, I'm a size 10. It is only my body that has got me a boyfriend, I have to show it off to get some male attention, or I would never get any because I have an ugly face. My ex bf told me that he didn't like lying next to me face to face because I'm so ugly. I cant find an asnwer, besides plastic surgery. Even if I lost my chubby cheeks, I would still have that fat round face, because my bone structure is like that, and to top it all, I have a big nose and big ears and horrible lips. It's gets me down so much. I wear abit of makeup to hide my big features, I style my hair nicely to suit my face shape, but that doesnt stop me from looking so ugly. You girls with slim pretty faces are so lucky, I hope you appreciate them. I hate getting photos taken off my face, I am so ugly :frown: what to do besides plastic surgery?

Except face is an important thing, to me. Everyone sees it. Who wants to look ugly.

I agree post a picture and your boy friend sounds like a dick! :rolleyes:
There's nothing you can do! You have a boyfriend and have had more than one. Somehow people find you attractive. Some people have pretty faces but crap bodies, no one is perfect. So just try to accept yourself b/c we can't tell you what to do.

And clearly your ex was a jerk to say you were ugly. That's just mean.

honestly, its highly unlikely you are as ugly as you think you are. Everyone has things they hate about themselves.

I dont have a boyfriend. I've had two boyfriends in the past, both used me for sex as so they said.

you deserve better than to be in a relationship with someone who is going to treat you like that. I'm sure you arent ugly really, everyone has off days...
Now i could have got the wrong idea on why it bothers you, but if it is to do with getting BFs then if they are bothered about your looks and not your personality then really they aint worth being with

if its a confidence thing then having a good body may help. i dnt have the best looking face but i have a fairly athletic body and that gives me confidence

aint got a clue on any ways to make you better looking, i guess some ppl are born lucky, but of u aint got looks you must av sumat else, like a great personality

i'v rambled a bit, but it may make sense to you, or sound like a loada rubbish lol

Sorry I should have said: "It is only my body that has got me boyfriends." I cant edit.

I'm 60% sure I know who you are, I've seen a pic of you, and believe me, if you're her, you have it WRONG. You're gorgeous,
Honestly your description could be of the Olsen twins, who many people think are pretty; they have round faces. Maybe you have a distorted view of yourself.

Just because you think your ugly doesn't mean you are, think of all the times people have said you are pretty. If you were ugly, I don't think your ex bf would have said it, if you had a bad break up he is not going to say positive things thats what ex's are like.

I'm still all up for the idea of a picture. Who is she? I bet your not as bad. Everyone thinks bad about themselves! Don't worry about it!

The boyfriends you've had are just dicks!

Hey listen, it sounds as though you are being way too paranoid. Concentrate on your good aspects rather than your bad ones otherwise you will continue to have a low self esteem. You say you have a good figure so use that to feel confident, and focus on that as many people probably envy you and wish they had your figure. There's not much else you can do really so learn to love yourself as they say...

Btw your ex boyfriend sounds like a f****** a******! Don't listen to him.

I could be a lot more helpful if you'd post a pic :smile:

Beauty is a very subjective thing - just because you dont see yourself as beautiful doesnt mean other people wont do. And remember when you look at yourself in the mirror you focus on things you dont like about yourself, and ignore other things.

You said you show off your body to help you get boyfriends. Just a suggestion here - dont. This would logically follow that you attract the wrong kinds of guys who are out there for sex.

Try and forget about the way you look, and use personality. This should shine through, and hopefully youll meet someone who likes you for who you are.
