I think that what the others have told you is so perfectly true, and yet I do know that feeling ugly even though it feels safe, also feels heartbreaking when you have friends who you think are perfect looking. But honestly, they only seem perfect looking because they are not you, not because they don't look like you

To everyone who feels they are ugly (I've lived with this problem most of my life), I've learned that if you have been abused as a child, you will see ugliness where there is none. And that is to self protect; "If I am ugly no one will want me so I feel safe". I used this same protection to combat child sexual abuse. I fanatically insisted that I was ugly every time someone dared mention my looks.

I have spiral curl red hair which I keep extra long because I look like Side Show Bob if I cut it short; green eyes that look out like a lunatic cat, and white skin that can't get a tan up at all. The very things I hate, others tell me are beautiful. But we fight between wanting to be beautiful and not expecting it, and if we see ourselves as ugly then being abused sexually is not our fault.

I was told as a 3 year old, that if I wasn't so pretty, the 3 men who sexually abused me wouldn't have paid me any attention. I remembered this so clearly, I remembered everything that happened so very clearly.

I'm told that I don't have any wrinkles at all, but that doesn't make me think that I'm less ugly, and I DO think I have wrinkles everywhere.

Organic Rosehip Oil works well on getting rid of wrinkles. It works by rehydrating the skin and underlying tissues, and if you are patient with the process you will start to see results within 4 weeks, and after 12 months your skin will look fabulous. I have to admit now that I do see results. The winter months take a lot of moisture out of the skin and it is the year upon year of winters that ages the skin. At your age you should not be affected by this at all, but if you feel you areaffected, being proactive about handling it will go a long way to making you feel better about it.

You can work your way through this and come out the other end intact and in control. Wishing you all the very best,
