I really, really do completely understand what you are talking about. I don't mean to sound cocky and rude, but people tell me that I am very good looking guy, and to be honest I do not have a problem attracting girls. But I believe that we see ourselves differently than other people see us. Do you know why? Because we KNOW ourselves. We know our faults that other people can't see. There is no one that knows us more than OURSELF, and we see things that other people simply don't see. The things that we see must not actually be there if other people don't see them! Did that make any sense? Im sorry, but I tried. I DO understand where you are coming from, though. Completely.

I'm exactly the same. But sometimes you've just got to trust what other people are telling you.

I do.

Few people tell me I am pretty. I avoid mirrors because my reflection makes me physically ill. I assume anyone who says I am pretty is just bieng kind... and lying through thier teeth. I avoided yearbook photos in school from 6th grade on. I try not to let anyone photograph me and say it is because I don't want to break thier camera. I have one photo on the net. I feel more like my avatars. I think I should look like John Colliers' "Lilith". My reflection is a lie... I am not that creature staring back.

Yeh. Im the same. Alot of girls say im heaps hot, and alot of people tell me im so attractive and intelligent that I can do anything i want. But at the end of the day i look in the mirror and i will see like 10 different people depending on my moods. Its screwed up stuff bcuz i cant tell wether i am actually ugly or not.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

it doesn't matter what you think. you can accept what other people say or not, you're going to carry on being beautiful regardless, so you may as well make the most of it

Most everyone thinks they look bad at some point. Especially if you have low self esteem. Really though the best measure of how you look is from other people. You could be totally self absorbed yet be ugly as sin or you could think your hideous yet everyone wants you. If I were you I'd drop whatever parents, family members, etc that are never going to say anything other than your beautiful say and listen to what people that have no reason to lie say

I think everyone feels ugly, even the most beautiful of people. However, society in general evaluates what they consider attractive. Someone who is beautiful in our culture, might not be as pretty in another culture. Beauty is in the eye of the beholde. For example, I know some guys who don't think Angelina Jolie is hot at all because she has no ass and her lips look weird. And even though she is considered to be OH SO HOT! not everyone feels the same. As long as you can look in the mirror, stare at what you think are your flaws, smile and say "this is me, this is what makes me unique, different, beuatiful. I will show everyone how beautiful I am" You need to dress the way you think represents your spirit, put your hair up a certain way...Trust me, people will find you to be beautiful if you can accept yourself and be confident enough to stand up tall and walk like the Goddess that you are : )

Probably about 90% of the population.

Nope, I'm beautiful. If you don't agree, just step aside and make room for someone who does.
