You still seem to be fishing for reasons to feel bad about yourself. Who cares what others may have said. I once had a Drill Sargent in the military that told me I was ugly LOL. But that was his job LOL. I never took it personally. You are taking it all to personally to keep yourself feeling bad. Time to stand up and be Proud of yourself  |
Well for a while I was verbally abused at home and in school. I love my mom dearly but she said some hurtful things to me before. I understand that ugliness and beauty are subjective, but I do feel like there are people out there who are almost objectively attractive. That's why you have certain guys or girls that attract a lot of attention from the opposite gender. If one or two people said that I was ugly before, it probably wouldn't bother me at all. When multiple people over a span of years tells you that you're ugly, it messes with your mind and self-esteem. I just wish I knew what it was like to be considered good looking. When I was little, my mom used to tell me that I was handsome a lot, so when I went to school and got bullied, it was really heartbreaking for me because I didn't understand why people would say that stuff to me. Now I obsess over it. I always think about how it would be like to look better or not be considered ugly. What makes it worse is that I didn't even choose to look the way I do and I have to suffer for it.
