I mean, I have my days that I think I look really good! && I get told I look pretty but by girls! And like... The nerdy girls.. I don't have any guys friends much! Like I do, but I don't talk to them! My skin color is fair, and my acne complexion is ... well quite bad for a girl.. I use alot of make- up which covers up the most part (first primer, then liq.foundation, blush, 3 different eyeshadows, liq.eyeliner, and mascara) I have braces, and my hair a semi dark brown and down to my collar bone.
My eyes are blue, a deep dark blue, and sometimes look semi-green.. I think I'm putrid when I look in the mirror, it frustrates me so much I want to punch the mirror!! IIN? Help ):

    putrid = decaying or rotting and emitting a fetid smell

    :\

    but yeah we all have our good days and bad days. If you have acne, that seems to be a major factor in confidence - whenever I have a lot of spots I feel my self esteem drop. I look at myself and think "I'd look so much better without these ugly marks on my face".

    It's all a frame of mind though. You can talk yourself into feeling better about your image, it just takes focus and discipline to only consider the best aspects of your appearance. Confidence is attractive. If you maintain the illusion of confidence, eventually you won't be pretending.

      OMG, That's what it said under my yearbook picture. Did we go to school together?

    Normal. Some days my hair is so bad, I think it'd be better off starting from scratch rather than fixing it.

    Nothing we can say will change your mind, but it isn't as bad as you think.

    You sound like a teenager or someone in her early twenties in which case acne can be quite normal. Of course if it's super bad you might need to see a dermatologist. Also start reading up on skin care and try to cut a lot of sugar, starchy food, fast food and junk food in general out of your diet.

    I have my good and bad days too. If your young i don't think you should wear so much makeup lay off the eye shadow. a lot of guys prefer natural looking girls. And i know a lot of guys that think braces are cute. Do whatever makes you feel better though.

    You need to take better care of yourself. Nothing you can do about the braces but try to clear up the acne. Proactive is good.

    sticking your face in a deep fryer could also help
