I hate the way i look

Okay, i thought id use this website as some kind of wild shot, iv no idea what kinda of feedback you get.

I guess to underline the matter, i really just hate the way i look. Im a teenage girl and suffer from having spots, i have no self confidence and cannot see past it. I have a boyfriend, and im constantly terrifed hes going to find somebody new, because im such a state. I constantly feel at a loss, i really dont see anything positive with my appearence, so i dont understand why my boyfriend would. Im hideously jealous of practically every one of my friends, and i hate the fact that i am serioiusly the only one out of them all with spots. Ive tried so much stuff to get rid of them, and nothing seems to work. I just feel helpless. Its stopping me from being happy, and i cant look directly at people/friends when im out with them because i feel so ugly. Im so paranoid about my boyfriend, and it kills me to think that he finds other people attractive, but i know he must do, and i just dont se why hes with me when he could do so much better.Ill never take a photograph, and i just cry when i look at mirrors. I dont think i could ever explain any of this to any of my friends, they dont seem to understand, and perhaps think im just seeking attention, but thats the last thing i expect to get. Its seriously getting me down. I thought there was some kinda of condition that this may fall under, but i dont know.

  • There is probably nothing wrong with you all girls suffer from spots at some time or another. All the worrying is probably causing the spots and you say you have a BF if you were as ugly as you think you are you wouldnt have a BF at all and you say you have friends if you were ugly you wouldnt have any of that so stop worrying I bet theres really nothing wrong. Jelousy is a very bad thing to have get it under control or you could lose both your friends and BF

    go see adermatologist and make a list of things you like - exclude the boyfriend and maybe you'll start liking yourself- real beauty comes from within I've met beautiful people who are very ugly on the inside- so judge your self worth by how your heart is how you treat people and you're young so start to develope your likes and hobbies

    a face without freckles is like a sky without the stars. why waste a second not loving who you are? those little imperfections make you beautiful...

      That doesn't apply to the real world.

    Have you maybe thought about asking your boyfriend what he finds attractive about your appearance? If he only says your eyes, be weary! That tends to mean he doesn't like you so much on th outside.

    Youre probably not even ugly to be honest. My girlfriend is like an angel sent from the heavens themselves but she avoids mirrors like they're made of poison and is constantly bad mouthing her appearance...

    It's probably just a teenager thing but if you're that desperate to try and fix something that isn't broken, consult your doctor for some spot treatment cream :]

    Everyone can work on the things about their appearance that they don't like. First of all, talk to a good doctor. There are many, many new medicines out that can help with many skin disorders. People don't have to put up with alot of stuff any more. If it goes beyond that, go to a spa or hairdresser and get a makeover (new hair color, cut, make up) and try some new clothing styles. There ARE things you can do!

    i know exactly what ur feeling... u have aleays been the ugly one ever since i was a young kid and to top it off and 4 yrs ago i got diagnosed with diabities.. they found that out bc i got the red shiny mark on my legs... it makes me very self consus. for instince i wore shorts to the mall anout a month ago and every teenager i passed pointed and wipered to the person next to them. lets just say i dont waer shorts in public anymore... i am 23 and still sometimes feel the way u do.... just keep in mind the you only look as good as u think u look.. ur friends and ur boyfriend adviouly see something more in u them just wats on the outside.... u remember ur mother ever saying dont just a book by its cover? well that goes the same when thinking of urself..also remember God pus in in every situation for a reason... u just have not found that reason yet....my heart is with u..

    Long posts often have the solution included in the post.

    That is your case!

    You tried to explain this to your friends but they didn't understand. And they are the ones who CAN SEE YOUR face!

    Interesting.

    Your boyfriend is desirable enough to have other options and you said you have a nice circle of girlfriends.

    Would seem you have other attributes that make people want to be around you. You are just overlooking the good IN YOU.

    What helped me was to make a list ON PAPER of all the POSITIVE things I did during the day. No matter how small. Include complements you receive, uplifting conversations, guys who paid you special attention ... you get the idea.

    Betcha by the end of the day you will have a full page! That will cure this type of negativity, it did me. Write it down and look at it in print, don't let it all swirl in your mind, this actually works!

    For these "spots" I'll bet its a food sensitivity or allergy. Start with Google, meds will only f*uck you up.

    Comment back and let us know!

    Hey, the "category" that you may fall under is called body dysmorphic disorder. It's a condition in which people have an unrealistically negative image of themselves, and it interferes with their daily lives. Or, you could just be a normal teenager who's saying things that many teens are thinking - seriously. It's a fine line between what's normal, and what's a problem. If you do meet the criteria for body dysmorphic disorder, It's treatable, both with meds and therapy. Your acne is also something you should see your doctor about. Good luck.

    I am so glad I'm not back in highschool. Listen kid, the acne will go away someday; it's just a cruel leftover from evolution. Your stressing out is making it worse as well. Get a script for some valum in the short term and find a good shrink for the long term.

    Look at it this way. Some people don't even have arms or legs. Think about that darling. Your fine and either way its the inside that counts.

    Okay, lady, you have a bf, he chose you for a reason, be happy about it. I know I'm ugly, but if I have a gf, SOMETHING about me must be going good

    whats spots is that when your skin has patchs are darker or lighter i think coco-butter helps that

  • Yea what "spots"? Freckles are cute, and acne can be cured if you go to a dermatologist. I bet you are talking about acne scars. They sell scar removal kits at walmart. Try one of those, and if it doesn't work, then beg your parents to take you to a dermatologist. In the meantime you need to come back down to reality and realize that the outer appearance means nothing, it's what is on the inside that counts. I always notice overweight, or plain looking girls who are nice always have friends and are always happy. The girls who are boring, quiet, or even loud, and rude are the miserable ones. You are lucky to have a boyfriend, not because you think you are ugly, but because he sees something there that you don't see. Work on the inner you, remember beauty is not always only skin deep.

    What are these spots that u are talking about?
    do u mean, like freckles?
    Or something bigger??
    Look, im sure ur bf is with u because he knows and sees u are beautiful, kind and other things. These spots obviously dont get in the way of him being with u. So if he is with u, im sure u are not ugly, and that other guys will think u are beautiful too.
