Is it normal to catch my face a mirror and think "wow, shit. i'm so ugly."

I avoid looking at my reflection in passing.

    Depends on my mood. If I'm in a bad mood, I hate the idiot in the mirror and don't want to look at him.

    If I'm in a good mood, I don't judge.

    If I'm in a very, very good mood, I'll say something stupid like "That's one sexy motherfucker of a man", chuckle and move on.

    If I'm in my car, driving past mirrored windows, or reflective shop windows - I'll always take my time to admire my car as it slowly drives by and think "That is one sexy ride, wish I had one", then I look ahead once more, see the star at the front of the hood and smile.
    Doing this always cheers me up a bit.

    It's the sort of ego-stroking, motivational shit us carguys do.

    I have some days where I look at myself in the mirror and think “wow, I actually look good today.” And others where I wonder to myself am I always this ugly

      It's only dysmorphia if what they see isnt realistic. Some ugly people actually realise they are ugly.

          Get fit buddy. Hopefully the fat drain would shapen up your face. Chiseled jawline is also good.

          • I'm not overweight, just plain not very good looking.

              Ah surgery route then. Unless you are a ginger male, then you are kinda fucked.

  • It's pretty common since we tend to judge ourselves more harshly than others.

    I can remember, as an example that during my teenage years I got lots of attention from the girls my age. I even recall overhearing a conversation where a few agreed that I was the cutest guy at school.

    But when I looked in the mirror, all I saw was ugliness. I had brown hair that was kind of long that went from straight and graduating in to red curls. I had what I call a bubblegum nose and green eyes that always seemed too big for the rest of my face. My hair looked like something a gay guy would have but my mother loved it and refused to let me cut it. It all made me hate that damned mirror.

    But now when I look at pictures from that time I realise that it was just perception of an insecure teenager and that I didn't look so bad.

    I would bet that if you posted pics of yourself somewhere that peoples opinions of your looks would be better than your opinion of yourself.
