Is it normal to see yourself as ugly?

Is it normal to seriously hate every part of yourself? A few years ago I didn't really care about what I looked like but now all I see is ugly things about myself. If I look at myself in the mirror I immediately notice any flaws and then my day is ruined. When that happens sometimes it makes me feel suicidal since I hate feeling that way. I mean I've been asked out before and stuff like that but I've never said yes so basically I've never had a boyfriend before because I think I'm too ugly to actually be liked by anyone. So is that really normal?
That probably makes me sound stupid but it would be nice to know.

    Even the prettiest girls see imperfections in themselves. Don't be so hard on yourself! Someone surely finds you beautiful.

    It's honestly just the self esteem issues that come with those kind of thoughts that prevent you from having a good social life or a boyfriend. Not that you actually are ugly, because you probably aren't. :)

    Lots of people don't like how they look. For example, I don't think I am all that attractive, yet people have literally stopped me on the street and told me how beautiful I was. They were guys of course and at the time i just thought they were creeps.

    I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You shouldn't judge how you look because it creates low self esteem and that can present a boat load of problems.

    Instead of looking at negative things, try for once to look for positive things. I'm sure you have them. And they don't have to be physical features.

    Don't judge a book by its cover. People can be ugly as hell but physical features aren't what matters. It's the person on the inside who counts. There are lots of beautiful people out there but they are also more likely to be ass holes because they know they more beautiful than the person standing next to them. It can make them pompous.

    If you are feeling depressed talk to a doctor and perhaps he can prescribe you anti depressants.

    Lady Gaga before becoming famous used to say out loud to herself, "I'm famous. I'm loved world wide". She said it for years and today she's famous and loved world wide.

    We can't change reality with our words but we CAN try our perception of ourselves that way. If you want to feel beautiful, confidant, and powerful then say it and put a filter into your brain that REFUSES to recognize your flaws.

    Most people live and die without ever realizing just how POWERFUL the human spoken word is and it's ability to reform our perceptions.
