Are there times in your life that you asked yourself, "Am I ugly?". Am I really ugly?" I hate that moment. I never want to feel the ugliness in me but sometimes I can't help myself feeling that way. I have had encountered people who says that I don't look good. I have met people who try to compare me to her. I hated it. And, I always will. Why not just keep it to themselves. Why do i have to hear those harsh words. I think if you LOOK good you are confident but if you FEEL good you are more confident with yourself. I admit that sometimes i feel so insecure and discouraged. I can never change my face but I can change how I feel about myself. My dear mylotters, I don't understand why sometimes it is hard for me to feel good about myself all the time. I can't help myself wishing that I could be like her as pretty as her, as sexy as her. Well,i guess i am putting too much pressure to myself. And, I think it would be great if i stop feeling bad about myself most especially feeling like i am sooooo ugly. Thanks for reading and happy mylotting!

U definitively don't look ugly, but everyone asks themselves that question.

Hello there, I personally believe that everyone in this world is beautiful in their own unique way. Everyone has their own unique features that make them beautiful. And yes it's true that you have to feel beautiful. If you start looking at yourself as a beautiful person, your confidence will boost and people will start looking at you the way you do yourself too. I think the only problem is that you feel you aren't beautiful. But you are. Everyone is

everyone looks different. to someone you will be beautiful. I often have people shouting at me that I'm ugly when I just walk down the street minding my own business. why they think I need to be told that I don't know. but I also recently had the ticket collector on the train announce to the whole carriage that the most beautiful woman in the universe was on the train. he was a bit smitten with me, and clearly didn't think I was ugly. so I suppose it's just about finding the people that find you beautiful, and ignoring the people that find you ugly.

Hello there! The key to feel confident about yourself is just to appreciate what you have. I guess you may not know it but you have some qualities that others don't have. Better to know yourself more that anyone else. I feel that there might be something wrong with me but physically, I never thought that I am not that competent due to my appearance. Not that I think that I am beautiful, but I am satisfied about my looks. Atleast don't scare away people when they see me! Keep cool friend! Don't worry about how you look. Don't let those negative thoughts of yours occupy your whole being. That feeling makes you ugly. Starlight

To be honest many times in life I feel like that.specially when I see god gifted handsome beautiful people.I ask myself inner beauty is important but you cant ignore the outer beauty that leaves your impression in public. On the other hand I know many movie stars (males) got normal look but they have made their appearance a kind of very special and we like them so in todays life definition of beauty involves how you maintain your look. but still honestly I cant stop myself being jealous from someone so handsome ha ha specially when girls are after him ...

I also feel that way at times. I guess it is true with many people because we all have the tendency to be harsh with ourselves. We tend to magnify our failings and blemishes. Maybe it is because we always hold the mirror so close to our faces that we get to scrutinize every pore and blackheads that we see. In reality, people are looking at us from a certain distance and in the general sense.

thats interesting. i have a friend, and he's a man, but i think this story is helpful. in reality he is a perfectly fine looking man, and i remember talking to him once and suddenly this thought came into my head that he was ugly, but he isn't. so i stopped myself thinking that thought, but it wouldn't go away. but eventually i realised it was me picking up what he thinks about himself, not what i think about him. so if you can just stop yourself when you start to think that, that would be a good first move. i say to him now that he is not ugly, but i don't tell him he is the best looking man on earth as he wouldn't believe me. but i tell him that he fits perfectly well in a range of reasonable looking people. and there are, in reality, very few ugly people. there are some who are conventionally very attractive, and a few people, who are unfortunate enough to be quite unattractive, but almost everybody else is really quite ok looking, and very few people are genuinely ugly. so stop allowing someone else to manipulate you and telling you you are ugly, they have probably picked up you are insecure, and playing games with you. statistically it is extremely unlikely you are ugly, and i am absolutely certain you are a perfectly fine looking person. as are most people. and also remember we all have different tastes anyway, beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder.

Of course especially when i see others that are prettier than me and when people tell me all my flaws.It makes me feel ugly and makes me less confident about my self.

a person becomes ugly in a lot of ways, but it would greatly depend on how you see yourself. you are what you feel you are. you have to think more of the positive you contribute. you are beautiful when you are becoming a blessing to others. be a good friend, a loving daughter, a helping classmate. it's not all about physical features that matter. stay positive and be happy always :)

I think it is really better to think that those "BAD words" that you heard are simply a constructive criticisms. Make it as stepping stone to make yourself feel better. Think of those "Stupid" people as critiques. In the story of your life, you are the lead actress of the show, you are the star. So don't let them get onto you. Run your own story, don't let them run yours. Stay pretty my friend.

I also get the same thoughts whenever I see people who are really gorgeous. I feel really bad and I sometimes wish that I could change things about myself, but then when I think hard about it, I always reach on the conclusion that I am also pretty no matter what people think about me. First, you have to find that beauty within you and learn to grasp it so that you can own it. Second, you have to stop comparing yourself to others. Third, know that those who love you for who you are value you truly. Fourth, inner beauty is far more important than anything else and when people see that in you, they will be amazed. Feeling insecure is normal but we have to learn how to counteract it for us to maintain our self esteem and not be obsessed or blinded by superficialities. :)
