Is it normal to wonder if life is worth it if you are not pretty?

33 Comments

Quite a few people have told me I am pretty, but I know that I am not. All I care about is how I see myself, and I can see that I am not pretty most of the time. I wonder if life is really worth it if you are not beautiful? I would never consider ending my own life in a million years, but I just can't help but think that I am doomed to a mediocre life.

    Don't be shallow. Life is such a deeper experience than outward appearances.

      True, it's hard when everyone in my life only talks about beauty though.

    Today's society believes that you only have to look good to get what you want. I guess all the other qualities that ACTUALLY matter don't count anymore. Just as long as you're eye-candy, you're in.

      It's not a belief. It's a fact. Beautiful people have it easier, are more confident, get higher paying jobs etc. so I think if you're ugly life is not actually worth it.

        The sad truth :( and here I was thinking that we were all equal. I used to be the person that judged based on looks but I'm glad I'm not that type of person anymore.

        I see how much hurt prejudice can cause. People really should take the time to get to know a person before they're so quick to develope an opinion.

          I disagree making an opinion about somthing before we meet them is an inbuilt process and its good for determining who you want to build relationships with. Its not a "Sad truth" if your fat it means your lazy and gross.

          Get better looking its not hard.... Why do you deserve respect when you dont even respect yourself enough to build a good appearence.

            Well I guess it's just my opinion then. I'm not going to debate. I believe people should just try to talk first

          To be frank I'm ugly but I'm only attracted to beautiful girls too. It's a biological thing. I don't expect girls to "get to know me" and that sort of crap either because they're wired to want the best DNA to mate with too. What sucks is that bad genes exist.

      Exactly, and studies have been done to support this notion, so it's undeniable. The thing is, beauty gives you a leg up in every aspect of life. If you aren't young and beautiful, you will have a harder time in anything you do.

    Most guys are attracted to girls with hot bodies and they don't really care about a girl's face. Seriously.

    If you've got a great ass and nice rack you'll be able to have guys chasing you.

    Everyone can improve their attractiveness by taking care of their bodies, upgrading your personal style and most importantly your personality / attitude.

    Much of attraction is based on personality not looks.
    Be confident with how you look and who you are, smile a lot and be fun and you'll have lots of guys chasing you especially if you're in great physical shape.

    There's many physically attractive people that are really ugly because of a negative unattractive personality and likewise really unattractive physically people that have amazing personalities so they are attractive and people want them.

    Btw, if others tell you, you are cute you probably are unless their family members lying to you.

    Why not post a picture for us to see and we can tell you what we think?

    So many people are down on themselves for no reason, maybe you're one of them.

    Let's assume you were very pretty. What would you have gained? I don't know what it is but it apparently has to be the one thing that makes life worth living.
    Do you feel it?
    Me neither.
    When you try to think of people that lived the most inspiring lifes, people who changed the world forever; Do pretty young people come to mind? Do their looks even matter?

    I don't know I am pretty damn ugly and yet I feel I am living life to the fullest. Life is what you make of it.

    Also you will always be pretty to someone.

    I do not understand why people cannot accept a compliment. It seems lots of women are worried about "I'm ugly" or "I'm fat". Its fucking stupid because they even think that when they aren't.

    Maybe your problem isn't your looks, but your flawed thought process.

    The downside of physical beauty is being treated like an object and sexually harassed.

    Oh please, look at Gina Rinehardt. She's ugly as fuck and is a mining magnate.

    You don't have to be pretty to be successful, you just have to be born into the right family or be clever and driven.

    Physical appearance matters. But intelligence matters much, much more.

    You sound extremely superficial. There is more to life than being beautiful. Many famous people who have changed the world in significant ways could not pass as supermodels.

    I think everyone especially women aren't 100% happy when they look in the mirror. Unless they love themselves. I guess you have to accept who you are and that life is worth living. People have complimented you so it must mean something. Plus personality is worth so much more than looks.. To the right people.

    Lots of these comments aren't helpful!! Don't show your breasts or legs too much..... I am sure its not the way you want to portray yourself. Youll just get the wrong kind of attention.

    I bet you are attractive; but we constantly see gorgeous women who are a size under what they probably should be 'weight wise' and are airbrushed to an inch of their lives!! Lots of women both young and old seem to feel this is the only way to be. But looks aren't the 'whole person' stay nice friendly caring and honest and be true to yourself and that should a big part of the attraction.
    Do your hair put some light make up on, wear clothing that you feel comfortable in and look good in and try to be happy with who you are.......
    Go do things that make you feel good and stop thinking about looks all the time.......being inwardly thinking is not all that positive or and sometimes it can put people off.

    Try helping others with their goals and take the focus off yourself. Plenty of people need our help out there!!

    Have fun!!

    It's definitely not normal, but I feel like that too.All I want is people telling me how gorgeous I am and envying my beauty. I'm so scared of aging and I'm only 18.

      I'm kind of their with you to. I mean I don't want people to envy me or anything, although that would be cool. I just want people to tell me I'm attractive or handsome. I don't fear aging though, even though I'm the same age as you, because I sort of want life experience.

      That's the thing though, if you are gorgeous and intelligent it is inevitable that you will be rich if you work hard... I'm poor too, but if I had what your friend has I would be rich.
