Hate it when people say i look like my dad

Lighten up!!!

Count your blessings. At least you know who your dad is.

I agree OP but I mostly get mad at that comment because my dad is an ass.

One time my girlfriend told me I look like my brother, and I punched a wall. I think that's because my brother is a disgrace though lol.

I'd say it's normal. People say that about me and my mom, that we look so~ alike, and I hate it so much >.>

be happy you have a father. i love when people tell me i look like my mom. my dad died when i was 8, but people have always said i have my dad's eyes because me & him & my 2nd oldest brother were the only ones who didn't have brown eyes & my dad's ex-wife recently told me i have my dad's eyes so i love hearing that.

I kinda get what you're at, I used to hate it when people compared me to my family (though that was mainly because I was only ever compared to the women XD not exactly a compliment...). Slapping them is a little extreme, just tell them it pisses the hell outta ya

Is it becuase your dads ugly or you want to be viewed as more feminine

Its normal, just tell them it bothers you and ask them to stop saying it

Yes, totally normal, people here saying "be glad you have a dad" and that's one perspective but if your dad was in your life and he was an abusive bastard; then you know where you stand on him.

I really hate it when people say I look like my dad, especially the way you described with that annoying "Oooh" at the start. My dad traumatized the living shit out of my brother and I, we didn't even get to have a childhood, every time I sleep I have night terrors, he tried to turn my brother and I against each other, stalked us, used to beat us, locked me in a cupboard full of rusty knives and he did genuinely unforgivable things.

The absolute worst part though is when people who know him say "you look so much like him" it makes me want to tear my face off and stomp on it until it's a puddle, my brother's lucky because he somehow looks like neither of our parents but I have the same eye colour and same eye socket shape and people always notice the eyes first and I'm terrified that as I get older I'll end up looking indistinguishable from him, I will say that a few people said I look more like my Mum and that is refreshing, But it's like a sharp pain through my soul when people say I look like him.

The best thing I can do is try not to be the same person as him, I'll never treat anyone as horribly as he treated us, although that doesn't help with my feelings of anxiety and depression about my supposed likeness to him, it's totally normal but only a few people will really understand what you mean.

I really hate my psychologist, not in a violent way but just in a scornful way, because as much as she tries to help out; she definitely grew up without any domestic violence at home and any time I mention my dad she always says "He can't be that bad" and it's only when I really think about the damage he's done that I can say with confidence "yes it really is that fricking bad".

I have so much anxiety that my face already looks like his face or that I'll only start to look more like him from here on, it just feels like even when he's dead he'll continue to have this stranglehold over my life and it's not bloody fair, I just want to look like myself, I just want to live a life that's independent from him and forget he ever exists, I get so furious when I look in the mirror because it's like he's staring back mocking me, like I'm not even allowed to have my own identity, I feel like I'm being punished or something, and I'm not perfect but I can't think of a single thing I've done to deserve that Cosmic Abuse.

I mean, he always had a stone face and it was stuck with permanent angry eyebrows and I hate how even when I'm relaxed or happy I can look in the mirror and it looks like rage because of the similar eyes and eyebrows and it instantly makes me depressed.

I really had to get this off my chest because I don't like mentioning him to family and nobody else understands, I'm sorry for the rant. I'm shaking uncontrollably while typing this.

I mean, listing positives; my lips and feet aren't as ugly and chapped as his, my lips look like Rihanna's lips for some reason, it's mainly just the eyes and face shape that really upset and aggravate me, other features like the nose are more ambiguous, it's just that fear that I have no control over my life and how I look, and I am filled with a tremendous internal rage and depression that will eat away at me for the whole year if one person looks at me and says "you look like your father." What's worse is when it's people who know what he's done to my family and I but they somehow still feel compelled to tell me anyway, I mean; it's really not that hard to just stop telling someone who they look like, it's an invasion of personal space for starters, I don't do it to anybody I know.

I feel like the majority of my current life problems can stem back to all the negative emotions I've felt about myself ever since the first person who told me "ooh you look so much like your father" said it, I just want to erase him from my memory, and change my face just enough so there's no trace of him, not a drastic overhaul but even if there's only 8% of my dad in my face; I would much rather it to be 0%.

I can't think of a single good thing my dad ever did for us, he didn't even pay for my education; he spent all the money for that on booze, pokie machines and prostitutes, he has done nothing redeemable and while I don't wish death or ill will upon anyone; I don't want him in my life ever again, not as a memory, nor as a likeness in my face or my eyes. I particularly hate how my current car is from the same company as his car, and I hate when people make that association too.

I also just hate when people who've never experienced that kind of parental abuse make remarks like "I'm sure he loved you deep down" I know you're trying to help but you really shouldn't lie to people like that, nor claim to be an expert in my life events when you didn't live them.

I look exactly like my father. Practically a carbon-copy, with 2 older brother that look nothing alike. I don't see it as a negative. I think if you have an issue with looking like your father, you have issues with your father, be it cause by him or otherwise.

I hate when people say that to me too. I hate my dad, because he's an ass. He's stupid and very ignorant and it gets to me a lot.

it used to make me mad because i thought it was their way of saying i look like a man

You look like your dad.

People say I look like my mom and I fucking hate that. I dyed my hair blonde like my dads and now they say I look more like him lol

yah thats normal i know that feeling. my dad has all these random friends and they always know who i am and they either guess my dad is my dad or my uncle is my dad its kinda creepy but you get used to it and then your thank ful for whatever you inherited because it makes you recognizable and original

Normal, why?

haha people say that to me all the time, it doesnt really annoy me it annoys my mum tho haha dont worry about it. x

Yeah, I don't like it when people say I look like my dad either.

Maybe I just don't like to admit how much I'm like him >_>

I think this is normal but I have never met my father but the people who have say that I look sooooo much like him. So idk I think you should be grateful to have him in your life and not have to wonder about what your missing.

I feel the same way when they say i look like my bro.

yeah this annoys me too probably because my dad can be pretty annoying. Have your hair different or something then u wont look a similar lol

You must hate your dad... If that is the case. Yes it is normal.
