I think some beautiful or pretty people call themselves ugly are just looking for compliments. The people that really do think they are ugly have self esteem issues.
-
Either they don't have mirrors at home or they want to see their beauty through your eyes.
-
Beauty is different in everyones eyes, some people just lack confidence in the way they look
-
alot of pretty poeple might think they are ugly beacuse maybe they have self steem issues or maybe they have people around them putting them down. this seems to happen alot specially if its people we love.
-
There are some very attractive people who may have suffered through years of verbal abuse where they were repeatedly called many horrible things, including ugly. These names have been burnt into them to the point where they have actually accepted this low opinion of themselves. I know two women who have suffered like this.

...Why do some ugly people think they're beautiful?
-
It's called an inferiority complex. Even beautiful people can be depressed to the point there negativity takes over, thus making them think themselves ugly or inferior to the rest of a given social circle or society.
-
They think that so not so fortunate people would say they're wrong and give them a compliment.
-
Beauty is relative. Someone may be stunningly beautiful on the outside, but terribly ugly on the inside...

Perhaps they have BDD, like Nevets is always telling me I have (I do NOT). Body Disphormic Disorder makes a person see a sort of warped version of what is there, and not what other people see. Then they may have self esteem issues. Years of people picking away at them, through jealousy or their own pleasure or whatever can be very mentally scarring. Somehow sometimes what people say to us hurts us a lot more than anything physical. Perhaps they are fishing for compliments, but I wouldn't assume that if I were you. People appear to think I fish for compliments, but I don't. I hate them because they are just sympathetic crap, not honesty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes those who behold themselves in the mirror detest what they see. How do you make someone see their beauty, inside and out, when really the very existance of themselves makes their skin crawl?

im not sure. but it works both ways, ugly people seem to think that they are the best thing since sliced bread
-
Some people are mean towards the beautiful and nice towards the ugly, others the other way around.
-
I think thats be cause we are our own worst judges thats what makes us distort the reality.
-
Probably because we criticize ourselves so much. We always strive to be the best.
-
Well sometimes they just don't know it. But on the internet, its just a way of getting some quick attention and compliments.

some people are fishing for compliments, others have Body Dysmorphic Disorder, where they see flaws and a distorted image of what they really see in the mirror, when others see the real image. Some people see so many beautiful famous people that they feel plain or ordinary, and set their standards much higher than is realistic, since most famous people have airbrushes and make up artists to hide their usually average looks. Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if they have preferences for, say, big round green eyes in other people when they have small blue ones, they moight feel inadequate.

It's very simple. We dont see what the rest of the world sees. But that is our problem right there. We worry so much about the perception. Many girls are fishing for compliments, but I am not one of them. People tell me I am beautiful..I will never believe them. I dont believe them because I think I have a disgusting body and no will power to stop stuffing my face. You cant fix someone with this...I know its just a part of me.....unfortunately.

I think most just love to hear, "No you aren't. Are you crazy?" over and over again. They need that ego boost because they are addicted to being called beautiful. I can think of a couple people on here like that, matter of fact.

It's called Body Dysmorphic Disorder, as another poster mentioned and is a psychological disorder, nothing to do with wanting an ego boost or being ugly inside and it is sometimes linked to various forms of abuse, as Perryman mentioned, though not always. This, from the Mayo clinic explains the condition and why some people think they're ugly when they're not: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/body-dysmorphic-disorder/DS00559

Well, I don't know about myself, really.. I feel I'm not in the positiion to claim I'm handsome myself, no matter how many people have told me so. I hate arrogant and selfish people who boast about how extremely beautiful and attractive they are, and that's the last thing I want to be seen as by strangers - selfcontained
