I cry almost everyday because of my looks (my face). Am I beautiful? People tell me that I am but I haven't felt it in so long.

I'm incredibly insecure and unconfident. I need a friend.
Y'know I thought I was getting better. I thought that maybe, just maybe, I was gaining a bit of confidence for the first time since I was little. I thought I ha...
Maybe you haven't felt it, but think of your personality. Can you make someone laugh? Does someone see you and smile? Don't undersell yourself. You are special. If you need help, dm me again. :) Stay strong, beautiful.
ReplyI am not pretty. I have always known this. I used to struggle with this same thing and sometimes I still do. The thing that helps me is to remember the beauty is fleeting even for the most beautiful of people. If that is what they use to get by on, what will they do when it is gone?! It would be nice to have some knight in shining armor ride up and "Pretty Woman" me to a life of love, safety and security! If he doesn't love me for me, what will he do once I am old and my looks fade? Getting by on looks sounds good but in theory it leads to utter destruction. I don't know what you look like. Whether you are pretty or not, don't put everything into your looks! Put everything into being who you want to be. If you don't know what that is, find out. Try new things. Hone in some new skills. Explore the world (physical, mental, intellectual.......). Try to be your best you. You are not your face, body, or hair. You are what you create yourself to be. Love yourself for that and find people who love you for that. No matter how good you look, you will age. What will you have then? You and those who truly love you.
ReplyBeauty is fleeting and doesn't really matter in the end. I can not tell you if you are beautiful or not, but I can tell you that in the future, you will regret every tear you wasted, every moment you wanted to hide, or even did hide. Because you will realise that all that time you spend worrying over your looks you could have spent doing something better.
Beauty does not matter, but owning your own face does, so own it! Be happy as you are. And, small yet amazing side effect of this... there is nothing more beautiful then uncontrollable laughter or a smile!
