I wish I was pretty so bad... how can i go from ugly to pretty?

There's literally nothing I wish more
there are times when i look at myself and I just think I look so good and then there are times when I feel soo ugly. When I go out with makeup I do get some attention but my whole life ive been wearing a hijab and from about 12 to 16 I wore a veil and I just never knew if I was pretty or not, i never got attention. sometimes when i post my pictures online I get a lot of attention and other times not so much... and im just so wrried that when I go to uni that I'll never get attention from guys.
I just wanna be pretty so bad...

Isn't the hijab designed to not give you attention from guys?

Just because you wear the hijab doesn't mean you are ugly. The hijab is designed to conceal most of your "beauty" so its up to you what you wish to do.

There is always going to be someone in the world who thinks you're beautiful, because being pretty might be defined by the way different parts look, but being beautiful is something you just feel. You might look at someone, who doesn't really have any dominant features and find them beautiful, just because they are and because everything about them just fits. So maybe being pretty is not what you want. Maybe what you want, is to find someone who finds you beautiful without needing any help.
Hope this helped xxx

If it is truly making you sad then you should take it off. As a hijabi myself, it makes me uncomfortable saying that but tbh you shouldn't wear it unless you are fully comfortable. It's also totally fine if you tried it out and found out it wasn't for you. I feel sad when I hear other hijabis say that they don't like wearing the headscarf, because its not the be all and end all of being a muslim. You can still practise your faith well without it. I believe that its better to act like a muslim that look like one. I hope you start to feel happier about yourself inshallah.

keep the hijab, you can a wear a scarf and still feel pretty. maybe look online for more fashionable modest dressing tips/ideas and scarf styles if that helps. wearing some natural make up may make you feel good.

but you shouldn't compare yourself to other people especially in the looks department. there will always be people that are better looking than us and you can't change the way you look. you need to have confidence in yourself..

you should focus on your course and making new friends in uni and not trying to get random guys attention.
Also compromising your modesty is probably not the best idea.

meh for women its easy, all you have to do is make the most of yourself

no matter how you look - wear make up, dress well, do your hair nicely... thats usually enough for most men to find you attractive

we're not fussy. we had proper butterz girls at my school who we found attractive. its all about presentation and confidence and very little to do with your actual looks
