Is it normal to hate your nose so much that you avoid mirrors?

Ok, since I do not know what you look like, I'm going to draw up two scenarios for you one in which you are indeed unattractive due to your nose and one in which you are attractive and your nose is just fine.

Assuming you are an unattractive individual because of an inferior aesthetic quality to your nose, you may take comfort in being one of many hideous individuals who live perfectly happy lives not being always fussed about what others think of them because they'll always be freaking ugly anyway. I am one of these people. I'm rather repulsive looking due to some birth defects in my facial bone structure, but that's ok because I know God gave me exactly the aesthetic quality I need to do whatever it is He wants me to do. Admittedly, I do time to time become wildly jealous of those gorgeous girls who go around with beautiful confidence and beautiful personalities and are adored and envied by everyone who sees them. But hey, what can you do. If you really are ugly, go to school. Get a degree in bioengineering and spend your time doing calculus in your pajamas and growing lab rats. Have a wonderful life. You'll not have a ton of friends and boys all over you all the time (or girls? I don't know your sexual orientation or gender) but if you're nice you'll have some close friends, and you'll have a happy, fulfilling life. If you're religious like me, you may also take comfort in the fact that God is just and there may be awesome things for you independent of your looks.

Now, in the far more likely case that you merely have self esteem issues and are in reality perfectly fine looking or maybe even quite attractive (large noses can be very attractive, you know, assuming yours is even as large as you seem to think), you must simply find ways to build your self esteem and not focus on trivial imperfections until them become monumental problems in your mind. Do things for others. Have fun and study things you enjoy, go out with your friends, and try not to worry or think so much about your appearance. Worrying never fixed anything. But it is totally normal to have self esteem issues. Everybody has them to some extent at one time or another.

Just don't let something like that ruin your life. Look on the bright side. You are alive! :)

I honestly don't see anything wrong with having a bigger nose...

all my life I've had a small button nose. People would comment about how small it is. ,,I,

IT's even more gorgeous when the noses have a hook! It's so cute, and interesting.

You're fine :) That person who made that comment needs to go climb a tree during a thunderstorm and eat a cupcake.

Save your money, get a nose job.

I'm the same way. It's pointless to get upset about, but people can't control their own vanity, myself included.

I think you should love yourself i have a horrible nose myself its big has little freckles on it which just makes it look more hideous I compare it to anyone's but recently im just starting to ignore that factand live my life

I go through something very similar to that. I actually avoid mirrors and reflective surfaces on a regular basis simply to avoid judging my facial appearance all 2gether. Whats weird, I never had a problem with how I looked be4 the phobia developed. It sux b/c no1 seems 2 know how to treat this and b/c of that it has gone on far 2 long and is very frustrating. If you feel like you can offer any advice, email me at [email protected] and we will share our experiences and what has helped and where to get help. Best of luck 2 u!

Well, I guess this means you need plastic surgery then. While you're at it you should become very sexually active to help fill in the empty void deep inside. (Sarcastically rolls eyes)

people should learn to cope with their flaws in life makes you stronger mentally.You were born with it and u will stay your whole life with it propably(unless surgery occurs).Just face it no one is perfect and those who think or look like propably boast because of other insecurities(there are many here as well).

I have to same problem, my nose is a little too big for my face and arches upwards slightly. Most people don't comment, and many have claimed not to even have noticed it, but there have been a few people who have asked if I will get a nose job when I'm old enough, or told me it scrunches up when I smile, I was even told by one person that I "look like a rat" (WTF?). I went through a phase of being desperate to change it, I would literally dream of have surgery to "correct" it. It was only a few months ago when I was looking through pictures of anime girls that I came to an epiphany; all these girls had been sketched with tiny noses as that is what would be seen as most aesthetically pleasing to men. I realised that there are already armies of women who have "corrected" their noses to fit in with other people's expectations, and in doing so had abandoned the way their faces had naturally looked in exchange for a bland, unremarkable face which has society's approval.
So I say screw whoever it was that insulted your nose, you are not ugly, or an inferior being and you deserve to be able to look at your face and like what you see.
I'll post the address of a song "Ankle-biters", it's more about loving your personality than appearance, but it's still about ignoring the negative opinions of others and loving yourself.
