She’s 18 And Convinced That She’s Ugly, But This Stranger On The Internet Had The Best Advice For Her
Earlier this morning, an 18-year-old girl confessed on the internet that she’s convinced that she’s ugly.
She listed some of her features that she hates, including her nose, her lips, her ears, her chin, her skin, and he hair.
“Nothing about me is a redeemable quality,” she explained. “Now, y’all can say those features are “pretty in their own way,” but I promise, I do not look good. I just don’t.”
She then heartbreakingly admitted that a lot of people in her life go out of their way to call her unattractive, and she thinks that boys are not interested in her.
She revealed that she does not feel appreciated, and although she has worn makeup before, it doesn’t make her feel any better about herself or her appearance.
“My problem: deep down I know that I’m ugly,” she said. “Everyone says I am and I know I am.”
“But sometimes I get delusions and think makeup will save me or that it’s “not all that bad” or that I’m young so I’m not thaaaat ugly and I still get my hopes up of being considered pretty. I know I’m not though.”
She confessed that she’s hoping that at some point in her life as she grows up, people will find her conventionally attractive, though she doubts that.
She asked how she can accept how she looks without getting so upset about it, and one man on the internet honestly gave her the best advice.

He started out by saying he has a friend named Woodrow, who stands about 5’2″ and wears enormous glasses.
Woodrow has scars from acne and he has clubbed feet too. He’s also a bit overweight to boot.
The man continued by pointing out that many women would want to reject a guy who appears that way, but after Woodrow stopped being unhappy about his looks and instead embraced it, things really changed for him.
“Out of all my old mates, he’d get the least first looks when we were out until he started talking to women, confidence is key, but the trick isn’t to act confident it’s to have confidence in yourself before thinking about what negative crap will be thrown your way,” he stated.
“As much as you’ll hear/read this currently and for the next lot of years, looks are not everything, and you can be a 3/10 but with an amazing personality which instantly makes you at least an 8/10.”
“The older you get, the more you realize the vast majority of conventionally attractive people fail to develop a personality because they feel they don’t need one.”
He ended his advice with a perfect quote from RuPaul: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else?”
