i hate how i look

I just really hate my face and its really affecting my day to day life. I will randomly remember how I look and just start getting upset and I find it hard to talk to people sometimes too because I get self conscious. My lips are downturned and quite narrow so I constantly look sad/moody and people would always ask me whats wrong so I kind of got used to being really conscious about my mouths movements all the time. And now when I have a conversation with someone I fixate on what my mouths doing and if I look weird. I hate my smile too my lips are longer from one side and shorter from the other so everytime I smile it looks wonky and people have asked if I'm frowning/ feel unwell when I smile. When Im around friends I also just feel stupid because they look fine all the time and they post themselves and stuff and I just never can. When I like someone I just remember how I look and give up. My forehead is giant and I have acne and my eyelids are really large so I always kind of look tired no matter what makeup I do. I just want to look normal and be able to smile without feeling like I look stupid and I think im too old to be thinking this way too now (19).

its funny how i used to think the same way. but, getting older, I started to think that I looked beautiful during my self-hate period. to be honest, u are the only person that thinks or notices about ur insecurities, other people dont care about ur appearance at all. they only care about how they look also.
good luck and i hope u can go through this hard time :smile:
