Do they find me ugly, repulsive?
Does anyone have any thoughts or words of wisdom on this topic? I don't like thinking this way, and I want to think better of myself and stop worrying about what other people think of me.

I have felt the same way at times in my past. Your post is the main post that inspired me to write my separate "Words of Wisdom" post. My hope is that you read it and something I used to help me with this problem might help you too. Has anyone in your life ever told you that you look nice? My parents and friends have told me that I look nice and I could tell they were being genuine when they said it.
