She Feels Like She Will Be The “Ugly One” In Her Family For The Rest Of Her Life
This 18-year-old woman claims to be the “ugly one” in her family, and she absolutely hates it.
When she was younger, she was always the “big girl” out of her siblings and cousins. And whenever she went to parties, she would just be ignored.
Her cousins, on the other hand, were always treated differently. They would be complimented for being pretty and asked about their future plans.
And the fact that she was just iced out really hurt her feelings.
“Especially because I’m Asian, and most elders are really harsh with your looks. They don’t care; they’ll just say it,” she said.
So, whenever people actually complimented her, she never took them seriously. Instead, she always just assumed they were pitying her.
That’s why she would just say thank you, move on from the topic, and never take any compliments to heart.
She has also never worn makeup because she simply doesn’t know where to start or what to do. But her female cousins reportedly look gorgeous with or without any cosmetics.
On top of that, she loves their outfits and thinks that their lifestyle is just more fulfilling. While her cousins go out and talk to people, enter relationships, and simply have fun, she is usually at home alone, playing video games like the Sims or Call Of Duty and listening to music in her room.

“I’m probably the most boring person in the world,” she claimed.
In terms of friends, she doesn’t have many of those, either. In fact, she claimed to have never really had anyone in her social circle growing up.
“Because who would talk to that big quiet girl in the corner of the room?” she asked. “It’s hard for me to talk with people, anyway.”
Finally, in terms of her overall life, she just feels like she has gotten nowhere. She does not have a job and cannot drive. She also doesn’t have any goals or dreams.
Instead, she thinks that the only major milestone she’s accomplished is graduating high school.
“I feel like a mountain, while everyone around me is the wind, being pushed forward to goals and accomplishments,” she vented.
“I’m just stuck there, not moving an inch, while everything else moves.”
So, she is constantly comparing herself to other people as if it is second nature now– since her parents always compared her to her cousins and called her “big” while growing up.
And now, she genuinely feels like she will always be “that ugly girl cousin” for the rest of her life.
Have you ever felt like the odd one out in your family? Do you agree that she’s doomed to feel like this forever? Or is there a way for her to deal with her trauma and forge a better view of herself?
