Is it normal to feel completely beautiful one day, then ugly the next.

Ok so I just want to know your thoughts and personal experiences. I tend to think in black and white terms about my appearance, I either feel like the ugliest person in the world or the most beautiful. I never seem to think I just look average. My confidence has no balance. I just used to think this was a teenage thing but im in my 20s now, its really affecting my life. I obsess about my looks constantly because I feel it's the only thing that could keep my friends in my life. I had a pretty rough childhood and take medication for two mental health disorders, is this part of that or does everyone feel like this?

    I'm the same. I have been told I'm attractive by a few people but not alot of people. Yesterday I was talking to a girl in my college course and she was explaining that I was either the first or the second best looking person in the class and that the reason why I might be the second most is because the other person that is at the same level of appearance of me is on a different type of appearance which is why she doesn't know which one is more attractive. The possibility of being second by only one person isn't enough to ensure that I'm attractive so when ever I can get a chance to figure out if someone finds me attractive then I'll grasp onto the conversation. I try my best to look my best and I think I look good but I could be wrong and the possibility that I could be makes me feel ugly.

    I guess I'm a pretty vain guy.

    How you feel you look isn't just down to how you look but also how you feel. Your image of yourself is processed by a brain that is subject to fluctuation. Consequently, the way you look to everyone else is variable too. It's not just what we see, but how we perceive.

    Yeah, I hear ya, but you need to realise that your looks aren't what keeps friends in your life. If your friends only like you for your looks then they aren't such great friends. Or if you just think that, then stop it :) I'm sure you look just fine even when you think you don't. And by the way, you shouldn't care quite so much, I mean don't let yourself go to shit, but don't obsess over it either. Your just wasting time that could be spent enjoying yourself.

    I do the same thing.. It's so weird to see someone else put it the exact same way I feel.
