I am the ugly duckiling

So I have 5 sisters and two brotheres. All of which have blonde hair and blue eyes. I, on the other hand, have brown hair and green eyes. My skin is also more olive toned so I tan well. We do have the same parents, I just got my Dad's genes while they got my moms. When we were younger they used to make fun of me and say I was found on the door step. Everyone is always telling my sisters how they look alike and could be models. Is it wrong for me to feel jealous and secretly want to be a tall, skinny, blonde, blue eyed model girl? I feel that it's not fair they got the good genes and I have a really big complex about my looks. If people tell me I'm pretty, I think 'not compared to them'. If boys like me I think "they'll just meet my sisters and like them". How can I get over this?

Is It Normal?

  • Personally I think women that are shorter, with olive skin and dark hair are immensely beautiful, and choosing only by looks would pick such a gal over a tall blond every time.

    Also realize that beauty doesn't come from a checklist of features. It comes from the harmony of how the feautures interact. So while I may be fundamentally attracted to those features, just possessing them doesn't make a woman beautiful to me, it just puts her in the potential pool of women I would be most interested in.

    You may be beautiful or you may not be. But that has nothing to do with your siblings' appearances.

  • You sound beautiful in your own way. Sometimes it's nice to be unique.

  • Honestly alot of people who get the odd genes out feel that way. I know you think your sisters are more beautiful than you but have you ever asked them if they wished they weren't all alike? Sometimes it's better to stand out it makes you exotic and beautiful one of the family. Plus even when people aren't getting a complex from being the odd genes out of the family they are insecure about something with their body. I got my grandfathers blue eyes instead of my moms side Italian eyes and I have the blond hair technically but I dye it because I don't like the blond look. Being happy with who you are is the important part because we are always going to compare to someone else. And you know even though I love my blue eyes sometimes I wish they were green, it's rarer and beautiful.

  • To answer your question, yes it is normal. But, in all honesty I really don't think you should be, I personally really don't like tall skinny blonde girls. I like shorter darker skinned girls with darker hair and darker eyes, like a brown or green. Really skinny girls are gross to me. Hope this helped.

  • The sooner you learn to be yourself the better

  • 1) You're never going to be someone else so you should learn to live with what you were born with.
    2) Beauty is never decided by other people. What you think of yourself is how other people are going to think of you. It's all in your head.
    3) Models are what the world wants people to see as beautiful. Notice that about 90% of all models are exactly how you described them to be in your post. I think that's a little biased to assume that those are the only people that can be considered beautiful.

  • Brown hair and green eyes are more beautiful than blonde with blue eyes,which is very common and boring.
