There are times when I feel so ugly, I sometimes feel that others really looked better than me...when I look in the mirror i would realize that I'm not ugly after all.....but it doesnt stop me from feeling that i'm ugly and unattractive...How do I handle this feeling?

When I feel ugly I'll just sing Christina Aguilera's song "beautiful". I guess the lyrics is so powerful. Then I'll be looking on the positive things that I have rather than the things that I dont have.

If that's you in the avatar, you're kidding... When I was a kid, I was considered ugly, until my mother added a "This end up" sign, which didn't help at all. I got over it by avoiding mirrors and living in unlit coal mines.

I dont compare myself with others at all. The whole problem arises if there is comparison, if there is no comparison there would be no problem at all. And moreover why should we give credit to others on an issue that is afterall only skin deep. I concentrate on other important aspects of life which are more worthwhile and more productive than thinking about beauty which is not at all permanent. I mean a woman who is looking beautiful today may look hopelessly ugly tommorrow. There are definitely more beautiful things to think about than physical beauty.
