Is it normal i think i'm hideous?

Almost every time I look in the mirror I always think of how ugly and short I am. Sometimes when I am drunk i will stare in the mirror for over half an hour telling myself how ugly i think i am (this is rare but i do this). There are times when i actually do like my appearance and do think I'm good looking but it's not as often as the times i feel I'm ugly.

It's gotten to the point when i go out i feel like people are staring at me and i don't know why. I don't know if they think I'm absolutely hideous, if they're wondering how old I am or if i should walk over and flirt with the girl, ask her out etc.

I get compliments somewhat often but it's from friends and family which i consider to be them being nice. Is this normal? does anyone else feel this way? is there anything to do to help with this? I guess it boils down to self esteem issues.

    Yeah I think I'm hideous sometimes. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I go 'Blleeeeeggghh!'. Sometimes I look in the mirror and go 'Hey you! You're lookin' pretty sexy today!'.

    I never really genuinely get complimented on my looks. It's just from my family, a few friends and guys that think I'm easy and just want to get into my pants atm. I know that overall I'm not ugly but I can be quite self conscious.

    You need counseling..or you could have dysmorphic disorder.

    You could actually be ugly, in that case it's normal.

    I cant vote in good conscience without a picture however.

    You are your worst critic. You could have dysmorphia, though.

    When you're out and about and you feel self concious, it helps to remember that other people are probably too busy to judge you when they're worrying about what people think of them too :)

    No matter how hideous you are... there is always someone worse. I hope that helps.

    sounds more like you have issues within yourself, rather than what you actually look like. try changing the way you think about yourself. oh and chicks dig confidence.
