Is it normal to not believe i'm pretty?

11 Comments

I look at myself in the mirror and think I'm freaking ugly. Not just ugly, but VERY ugly. I hate my body also, I weight 135 lb. and I'm 5'2", I see myself fat, and with small breast for my weight.
Other people say I'm pretty, and that I don't look fat. Even sometimes random people in the streets say I am.
However, everytime they do it I feel bad, because I'm sure that they're just doing it to make fun of me because I'm fat and ugly.
I've been on diets but I never really reach a desired weight, even if my friends tell me I don't look fat. I try to wear make up but it doesnt work, I still think I look bad.
Is it normal to be that insecure?

    Electron you sound exactly like a person I just cut out of my life. I felt like her way of thinking was toxic and I decided I didn't need people who think like that in my life. I want to surround myself with people who accept others for who they are and see beauty in everyone. Not people who conform to ridiculous societal ideals.

    As for the op, there are plenty if people out there who think the way I do so ignore the ignorant comments. You are beautiful. Everyone is. And the truly beautiful people are those who don't obsess with looks.

      At the end of the day, YOU are the one who is unhappy with herself. All that I was trying to say was that I think you should do something about your self esteem. Focus on the things that you do enjoy doing and are good at. If your physical appearance bothers you, then change it and adopt a healthier lifestyle. With a healthy diet and regular exercise, you'll naturally find yourself in a better mood and you'll have more confidence in yourself. Being pretty, of course, isn't the most important thing in the world. But I think it matters more than people care to realize because it frequently dictates how we feel about ourselves. Overall, it's all about confidence and self esteem.

    You must have really low selfconfidence talkt to someone you trust. Or go to a pyhchyatrist about it if you need more help looking at yourself in a positive way. Also why would random stranger go out of thier way to compliment you and not mean it. Most people will just plain out insult people if they are like that so dont over think it and take it as acompliment.

    Yes, it's normal and far too common. I'm appalled at girls who are interesting, even fascinating, who claim they're UGLY. They've believed propaganda that says they must be blonde, thin, with huge breasts and wear silly high heels. I find all these things a turn-off. For every girl there's man who thinks she's just right. I might find you dull, I might find you quite sexy. What does it matter?

U should go out and fined something that suits ur body type people always tell me I look good cause I wear clothes that suit my body. U should go out and get a new hair cut or dye ur hair a different colour!

    Confidence is sexy.. Thats my opinion. I Always had low self esteem, until one day i was like, "FUCK THIS! I have to do something about it, What is Awesome about me? What would some girls kill for? Does it really matter if I'm ugly? I know i'll find love eventually! Hand me the makeup and my running shoes!" lmao I'm still not the prettiest girl ever, but I set myself apart from other girls with my personality, and kindness. I make sure, i never am conceited or arrogent, And I Help everyone around me, And above all else i always SMILE. It changes a person alot, when they smile, gives them a new outlook on life :D

    I think you do it to a larger extent than most.
    Maybe because you are actually ugly..

    But, even if you are.. does it really matter? Ultimately, life isn't about what you look like, it's about what you do, and the legacy you leave behind.

    Maybe it's because you really are ugly on the outside.

    accept it and focus on the positives. What are your talents? What makes you unique and interesting? Always have integrity and be trustworthy and kind so people can't help but like you. Make up for it. Because as sad as it is, beautiful people have it easier and when you aren't beautiful, you have to compensate for it.

    If it really bothers you that you aren't pretty, do something about it. Exercise every day and eat a raw vegan diet. It will help you lose weight, clear your skin, help you to think clearly, and make your eyes shine.
