If someone calls me ugly I tend to just say "Thanks for sharing".
Overall... what other people think of me is irrelevant. It's about what *I* think of me. So if someone was to insult my appearance? Oh well, that's their perogative. At the same time.. if someone compliments my appearance it doesn't really make much of a difference for me. Of course I prefer compliments over insults... but yeah.
Just keep reminding yourself that YOU like how you look. That YOU think there is nothing wrong with how you look.
"She thinks I'm ugly, am I ugly?" should be followed by "That's bullsh**, I know I'm not!" because you already know and believe that that answer is correct.
If you still need help - think back into your past. What compliments have people given you about your appearance? Think about them and write them down.
I like sharing, so here's some of mine:
- I've had someone randomly compliment my eyebrows. They were surprised when I said I do not pluck them.
- I've had a few people compliment my cheekbones
- I've had a few people compliment my jawline
- I've had multiple people compliment my butt, which I find funny but I roll with it
- I've had people compliment how I can pull off a lot of colours in clothing that others can't (red and orange in particular)
- I've had people compliment my skin-tone
- I've had people compliment me on being able to dye my hair any colour and it still looks good.
- I've had people compliment my posture
- I've had people compliment my voice.
- I've had people compliment my eye colour and the depth they saw in them.
On top of that, I really like my hairline, the shape of my teeth, my lips, and my freckles.
Yet despite all of that? There are STILL loads of days where I am hating my own appearance. But that seems like a pretty big and random list right?
