When I was 14, I used to think that it hurt people when they looked at me because I was so ugly. I used to walk around with my head looking down at the ground so they could not see my face.
I did that until one day when I was crossing the street and stepped up on the curb and walked right into a traffic control box mounted on a light pole. It hurt like hell! I quickly looked around to see who saw me do that. I thought, how stupid can you be, Vickie. I started watching where I went.
As I grew older, I realized that it was my parents that had made me feel like I was ugly. They made me feel that way because they were alcoholics and my sister was "cute" but I wasn't. They kept telling me what was wrong with me, in their eyes.
I learned that they were the ones with the problem. If you look on my profile, you will see that there never was a problem with the way I look. I am 56 years old today.
I doubt if you are ugly. It is probably just a lie. In fact, it is probably a really, really bad lie. You are probably beautiful.
