It sucks being ugly, boy or girl. I've never been physically attractive, and I've been really lonely because of it. Girls reject me before I even get to know them. I feel like they, like men, don't really care about anything except how handsome/good looking you are. I see all these people together out in public and I feel like I'm less than these people because I'm not as attractive/successful as they are, and I just feel like utter ****. I've been rejected more times than I can count, and it seems as if none of the girls I liked/had feelings for ever loved me back because of how I look. Then I see them go out with other men who are better looking than me, and I just get disgusted with who I am. I feel ugly on the inside too. Whenever I go out in public places, I just have a sick feeling in my stomach that I am ugly and no one is going to accept me or like me. Maybe love, dating, sex, etc. just isn't for me.......

The reality is that most people don't care what other people look like, beauty is subjective to the beholder, you will find someone eventually who likes you for you.

I'm sorry for how you're feeling. It sure sounds like you hate yourself and that really needs to change. No one is going to like someone who doesn't like themselves. It's hard to learn, but therapy can help.
good luck
Thanks for this!

I always thought I was ugly. Still do. But I found that the only way I could get girls interested in me was too make them laugh. Even if you can't love yourself, try to find out what you know you are good at. And focus on that as your main selling point. Hope that helps

You could not be more right. And no matter how hard it is, pretend to be at ease with yourself. That will put others at ease-people pick up nervousness and that can sometimes be the only thing standing in your way

This is exactly how I feel. I want love but I feel unworthy of it. I feel like I was born to observe, never to participate.
