I hate my face

I hate my face so much it makes me cry at least once a day. I'm mainly focused on my nose, it's an ugly nose. I'm not ugly, but I'm strange looking. It's difficult to explain, I don't think I look human sometimes. Especially when I have no make up on, I feel that it's impossible for someone to look so hideous. I dropped out of college because I thought people were staring at me and judging me everywhere I went. I can't hold a job because being in public makes me nervous. My boyfriend thinks I'm annoying when I tell him how I feel about myself, and I'm afraid he's going to get fed up and leave. I thought being really skinny would make me feel better but it just made my parents worry. I think if I got a nose job I would look normal. Sometimes I have moments of lucidity where I look into a mirror and think I look fine. but then I turn to see my profile and I'm a monster again. Everyone I know tells me I'm pretty. I think everyone I know is a liar. This can't be normal, right?

    Maybe you have social anxiety or something. It sounds like it if you're really worried about your appearance and think people are judging you.

    wow I am so glad I'm not the only one who feels like this. it sounds like you are exactly like me. I am so insecure with my face. I feel like Its stupid looking and my nose ruins everything. I know what you mean by walking around, and feeling like everyone is analyzing you. I just started college, and I'm experiencing that. I hate it. Aside from that, I think I'm so ugly that I can't walk into a store with out taking off my sunglasses. This is ruining my life. the worst part is, not everyone is sitting there calling me ugly. I'll go places and I'm just the most beautiful thing everyone thinks I look like "Barbie." last week someone said I look like I belong on laguna beach?! What the hell are people seeing and why do I feel so bad about myself? I'm so sick of feeling this way, and know girl you are not alone.

    Okay, first of all; there are WORSE things in the world that your FACE! Honestly, you think getting plastic surgery will make the world better place? Stop being so foolish and idiotic. Plus, you mentioned you had a boyfriend; meaning you couldn't be THAT hideous, get over yourself. How old are you? God.

    I bet ur VERY beautiful. At times i feel very ugly and upset about the way my face looks. Sometimes i look like michael jackson from the billie jean video but i feel so ugly. I first got that feeling when this girl for no reason at all,decided to call me ugly. She said it looked like i got hit in the face with a hot skillet. Anyway,like i said before,i bet ur very beautiful and u should believe that when ppl say it. The ones that think ur ugly should leave u the hell alone

    Well, there was a point that I thought my nose was ugly, because everyone else in my family seemed to have a different looking nose from me. But I looked at baby photos and I realise I looked like them and it actually wasn't my nose, it was just a skin discolouration which made it look different.

    I feel like this but to a lesser extent. I feel like people are judging me all the time but I'm not dropping out because of it. Plus I do feel like my nose ruins my face but other than that I think it's a little abnormal. I hate my nose but I don't cry about it everyday

  • If you get a nose job, you'll find something else to criticize
    Maybe should talk to someone
    Not your boyfriend
    your self-esteem is ruining your life

    maybe you do have body dysmorphia , i'd say that if everyone says you're pretty and that if you have a boyfriend then you can't be impossible hideous can you? i know you've probably heard it a thousand times but beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway, and i read somewhere once that even though attractiveness is linked to having average features, that unusual ones can be equally attractive.

    and in my experience the best, most intelligent, nicest people tend to value/like unique looking people more. Girl next-door pretty types annoy me, as do the kind of people who exclusively like them, and will not think you're pretty, they are stupid and narrow minded and if i were you i'd take the position that anyone that i like will either think i'm pretty, or not even consider my looks, and everyone else can get lost!

    sorry about the essay :)

      I actually really hope I don't have BDD. Otherwise, getting a nose job won't help a bit.

    I wonder if your nose was on someone elses face would it really bother you? Would you find it as bothersome?

  • How about a nose job? U will feel much better about yourself or at least human

    I cant blame your boyfriend for getting annoyed either, better be careful because he's going to get tired of it & leave. I think you need to see a Doctor about it. Try a site where you can post a pic & get feed back from people you dont know, on your looks. I obviously dont know what you look like, but people youre close with will tell you youre beautiful no matter what. It might be a good thing or really harsh, but at least youll know. Theyre probably right that you are pretty, but thats all I can suggest. Other than, you shouldnt be so fixated on looks anyways, esp letting it take over your life. Not normal. BDD-Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Could be that also.

    • Why the hell do you need to make rude comments on people who actually have problems?
      Because it's really disrespectful to people.
