Is it normal to think i'm unattractive, when so many tell me otherwise

I just moved to the big city and ever sense I came here, I have been obsessed with my appearance! I actually think I'm so preoccupied with the way I look, that I have caused continuous stress acne! I work retail, so having a good appearance has just become so important to me, when I don't want it to be! So many people have said I should and or could be a model, but rarely do I "feel" that way! Is it normal to feel "unattractive" the way I've described? Could I maybe be completely irrational and might of become blinded by my obsession with my appearance? Is this normal???

    Remember this rule. People think you are 20% better looking than you do. We criticize ourselves in and out because we know every flaw. Set a standard for how you want to look and leave it at that. Wouldn't you rather go out and have fun than spend hours in the bathroom and gym?

    We are hard on ourselves and usually it is unnecessarily so.
    Have you ever sucked a cock you didn't like?

    I think you're normal as any of us, we all worry about how we appear, it's a biological factor. However in your case, if your beauty is natural, and people have told you so, then try to be a bit more assertive about your looks. If people don't like you without the make-up, then a little humility never hurt.

    Completly normal! I think we all feel like that sometimes. You just have to learn to be confortable with the way you are. Also you'll get more comfortable with your body when you get older (when i was 14-15 i was exactly like you now that i'm 18 not so much ;))
