Not everyone can be beautiful, and for some, even "average" is out of reach. If that sounds like you, how are you coping in this looks-obsessed world?
I'm reviving this thread series since the last one has long since closed and I think it's a topic a lot of women could use a place to vent about.

>>378181I have an incredibly long philtrum and no lips and a 6 head and I am completely hideous. Other unconventional traits individual people might still find attractive, like a big nose, or thick eyebrows, but absolutely no one is attracted to someone with an grandma-level upper lip. In school people would harass me by pretending to ask me out and then laughing in my face in a mob. I know that I will never find love because there is no woman on earth who could want to kiss my face. I feel like I’m living in a level removed from the world of others. I don’t make any friends because I can’t relate to normal people who have partners or go out clubbing. Their relationship woes and adventures just make my eyes glaze over. That sort of thing is not in my realm.
I used to think I could live with this for life, but after I feel for someone hard for the first time, I realized what I was missing and now I can’t fathom continuing to live much longer. Sometimes I find myself wishing the world would end so I wouldn’t have to kill myself and upset my family who loves me very much (unfortunately).

nonny, I'm pretty ugly too especially with my hooked large nostrils and I personally am much more attracted to uglier women because I feel like they're much more genuine to be around with. I know that there's a larger amount of people who are trusting of attractive people but non attractive WOMEN are the very best to me. You are very loved and inevitably everyone's looks will fade so there's no need to solely latch on to that idea. What's helped me was watching love on the spectrum kek to give me some fuel that both ugly and mentally impaired people can, so can I.

it's hard to accept that no one is ever going to be genuinely attracted to you, in the same way you would not be attracted to anyone who looked like you. The common advice is to "date your own level" but when you get to a certain point on the ugliness scale, it's kind of impossible to feel actual attraction to your ugliness-level peers. If I could just make myself be attracted to fellow ugly people I would, and it seems like a lot of people are able to do that, or else maybe they're just in cope relationships where there's no real attraction but at least they won't be lonely. I can't do that though.
When normal-looking people talk about how great it feels when you experience mutual attraction, it makes me want to tear my face off because I know that is a feeling I will never experience.

Am I the only one who for some reason always expects to see myself differently THIS time I look in the mirror? Logically I know I’m ugly, I’ve been told my whole life, and I can clearly see it too, but for some reason I still stare at myself in the mirror hoping to see myself as at least average, maybe from this angle, maybe if I think about this feature differently, maybe if I squint, etc. Of course no matter how many times I stare at myself in the mirror I will never magically turn out to have been average all along. So why do I keep doing it?
Tangent, but I would take any other ugly feature over the one I have. You can work with most ugly features, or there may be someone who likes that feature, but not with the one I have. It’s universally considered ugly, it’s how all old or ugly characters are drawn. It’s a characteristic of the elderly— and I’m already ugly enough as a young person, I am scared to death of his this feature will inevitably get worse and worse over time.
I wish I had never woken up to the harm of the plastic surgery industry as a teen— if I hadn’t, I would have gotten plastic surgery by now and been so much happier, a totally different person.

>>383099Is it because it would give you too much teeth/gum show? Tbh I wish that was the case for me so I didn’t have to agonize over this— I’m actually a perfect candidate since I have no teeth show right now. But I just can’t bring myself to do it because I’d feel like such a vain hypocrite, I’m always preaching about how evil the plastic surgery industry is, I can’t just ignore or go back on that. It just sucks so much because I know it would completely fix my appearance. That, and it would feel fake to me, like anyone who became attracted to me would never have been attracted to my natural real self, which feels fucking awful.
The other reason stopping me is the fact my mom has the same feature and would take serious offense if I got it fixed. But the thing is it doesn’t look as bad on her due to her nice nose, mine is upturned an only makes it look worse and more animalistic. If you have what I have then I’m sorry. It’s really the worst, no redeeming qualities at all.

Hurts extra bad because I actually had a taste of beauty before, but I didn’t appreciate it. I used to be a beautiful teenager with zero effort. I had clear skin despite not showering often, I was thin despite eating junk, my hair was short in a tomboyish way. I wasn’t even taking advantage of this beauty, I was seen as “mysterious” when in reality, I was a socially anxious mess who only dressed in baggy clothes and hoodies. I turned 22, and it all went bad. My face got super bloated, my metabolism slowed down, and my hormones started giving me acne, stretch marks, and joules. I gained weight because I was used to eating whatever and nothing happening, but my fat distribution is weird, I don’t have fat arms or legs, my chest and butt are small, but I’m getting a belly that sticks out, my proportions are terrible. I’m currently trying to reverse the effects of my years of bodily destruction, but it’s harder than I thought it’d be. I’m waiting for my hair to grow out, so my joules are better hidden. I have a skin care routine, and I’m losing weight, but I used to be in the 110 pound range, and I’m currently in the 150 range. This is an improvement though, 4 months ago I was 170

>>382508I understand how you feel anon. It’s the worst when people have to make you aware of how repulsive looking you are. I’ve told this story before, but when I was a senior high school two freshman cheerleaders came up to me out of nowhere to tell me “we just wanted to tell you that you’re really pretty” and it was the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me. Everyone sitting near me looked down at their desks trying not to cringe. The girls were probably too young to see how they came across and why that was not a good idea to do, they were just earnestly trying to take pity on me, which is the worst feeling ever to know that you’re not just a little unfortunate looking, but
so outstandingly ugly that random people you’ve never even talked to pity you to the point of going out of their way to try to comfort you. A part of my soul died that day even though it’s been almost a decade.

I used to not care about being ugly because I decided I didn’t want a boyfriend, and when I realized that, all my insecurities from my teenage years melted away and I was pretty happy. But for some reason, I had a really late bisexual awakening, and the futile desire to date women I have crushes on has yanked my self esteem all the way back down to the depths of my high school years.
Suddenly I’m thinking all the time about things I was sure I’d never think about again, like plastic surgery and even makeup (even though the latter makes no sense for my style, I try to come across as gnc), and it feels so pathetic and horrible to be back here, especially because neither of those things would even help me, I’m unfixably ugly due to my bone structure and feature placement. Feels so, so bad. I thought I was over this. I’m ashamed of myself and mourning the romantic life I could have had if I had been born with a different face. Because it’s like, men are shit so I don’t care and it never felt like a loss, but this feels like a loss. However nonsensical that might be.
My life would be so much better if I never had that awakening. It’s caused me so much suffering, when before I was getting by okay. Now I’m suicidally depressed like I haven’t been in years. Life just keeps throwing me curveballs that hit me right in the stomach.

Most moids don’t care if you’re a loser or kinda ugly they’ll just take anything they can get. Women have higher standards for a partner (and rightly so) I feel like I don’t meet their standards at all.

>>383699Both my parents are shilled as beautiful. They don't even try. My mom, for most of her life, didn't even use conditioner on her hair. She would just shampoo and let her hair airdry. It would form the most beautiful curls at the end with no frizz. She never used makeup, and all she did was moisturize, and that's it. People commented on how pretty she was all the time. Meanwhile, not only I look ugly, I barely look like them. I know I'm their daughter, but I kid you not, I thought my mom cheated on my dad because I have a nose that nobody in the family has. I can see I'm a mixture of them, but a mixture in the sense that someone put them in a blender and added some abhorrent slime with it, and it resulted in me. My family knows I'm ugly and tries so hard to make me feel better by saying shit like, "At least you got hazel eyes!". As if hazel eyes would fix the vile bone structure of my face kek. I honestly coped by seeing how fucked up in the head they are. Being beautiful didn't shield my parents from bad things, neither did it help them achieve the important stuff they have. They still cheated on each other with way uglier people too. It sucks being ugly, but being beautiful doesn't guarantee as much I thought it did.

>>383727ayrt, that’s so rough. My younger brother (21) isn’t super handsome or anything, but he looks normal and is decently attractive. I feel really lucky he’s too lazy and mentally ill to have had a girlfriend yet. He went on a date once in high school and I internally seethed so hard, and was glad when it didn’t turn into anything. I know that makes me a terrible person. But when he gets his first girlfriend I’m going to be despondent. Because he’s such a piece of shit (lazy, messy, ungrateful, egotistical) compared to me (not that I’m an amazing person, but at least I function and groom myself) so it will prove that looks really are everything. And it will also sting watching my parents be happy for him, see the relief on their faces that at least one of their children was good enough to find a mate. They don’t ask me or talk to me about dating at all, probably because even they can see that I’m way too ugly to have any success. In turn, I act like I’m not interested in dating because to admit otherwise would be even more humiliating.
>>383726I don’t want to move away from my family, they’re very nice to me actually, and are the only people I can socialize with since I lost touch with all my friends. Which makes me feel more pathetic, no partner, no friends, no admirers, no social life— just an ugly 25 year old woman paying her parents rent to live in their house like a failure of a child. When I look at my situation objectively it fuels my suicide plans. My birthday is coming up and I will be 26, the age my mom was when she had me, still living like this, with no achievements, career, social, or romantic, to my name. I will feel terrible doing that to my parents, but it’s clear that I am not meant to exist and it’s excruciating to live as a genetic and social anomaly and feel the judge mental eyes of society and extended family.

I was feeling pretty confident in myself at work today, walking with confident strides, and then I went into the restroom and caught sight of myself in the mirror and I deflated like a balloon. I look so fucking ridiculous, when I’m walking around all confident it’s like my subconscious tricks itself into thinking I’m normal looking even though in reality I’m extremely abnormal looking. I’ve always wondered why it seems like no matter what I wear, my clothes always look “off” on me in a way they wouldn’t on anyone else, like I’m a developmentally disabled adult prancing around in a costume of a normal person, and I realized that it’s got to be mostly due to my face, i don’t know how, but it’s like it gives an air of incompetence to the rest of my body just by being connected to it. I feel like an awkward clown, and I’ve tried so hard for so long to “fix” my impression with fashionable clothes and a haircut that suits me (as well as any haircut can, so it’s a low bar) but I think it’s actually impossible. My face and head will always throw everything off. It’s incompatible with the impression of a put-together adult woman, no matter what I wear. What do I even do? Is there seriously nothing I can do to not have a freaky retard impression?

Because everywhere you go, that is people's first gut-level reaction to you. How are you supposed to cope with that knowledge? That you can never go anywhere without immediate negative or pitying judgement from anyone who sees you? This is a heavy emotional weight that average-looking people just don't understand when they tell you

Was anyone else not a horrifically ugly child, but then puberty hit and your face changed beyond recognition? I wasn’t always as ugly as I am now, it started around middle school when I hit puberty.

>>386558Sometimes I want to yell at them, when they talk about their relatives/friends' kids and their relationships too much (vs me who obviously can't find a partner). But my parents aren't really ugly, I somehow just got all their negative traits combined.
It's insane just how important being attractive is, it's not just about finding a partner, studies show that even babies are already treated according to their looks.
I also remember being kindergarten age and some old relatives praising how pretty a cousin of mine had gotten. When they caught me looking at them they quickly added "You too, anon" but even back then at that young age I immediately understood that this was a lie.
I don't know how to cope, I basically just daydream about being a gorgeous celebrity 24/7.
On top of that very recently I suddenly aged so quickly, it's like my terrible lifestyle caught up with me overnight. So now I can't even cope about at least being young anymore…

On the topic of looks, I looked at my old ID picture from when I was 16 and weighed 36 kgs (I was ill at the time), and I looked HORRIBLE in that, then I looked at my most recent ID picture where I weighed 42 kgs and I'm 21 in, and I still had some things off but looked better face shape wise with more developed bone structure and less skin issues.

Imo, if you are truly gross, men really leave you alone and most of the women who say otherwise are at least average looking enough to be palatable to moids. Even though in theory i should cake my acne scar ridden face with makeup, i rarely ever wear it because it's pointless to make myself uncomfortable to please anyone. I also see putting makeup on as putting glitter over shit, i don't see how it's really changing my face, if anything it's making my situation worse by clogging my pores. I don't really pluck my eyebrows or make an effort to dress nice or at least in a way that's palettable. I feel like this is the kind of idgaf energy can only arise if you were born ugly.

>>39467799% of males are hideous so there's not much difference between what a 6/10 and a 3/10 will pull. There are too many gorgeous women so the majority of them will have to date males WAY under their league. Not even beauty can save you. Males are never truly disgusted by women because their whole purpose is to chase us and settle with any woman who will take them. All of the looks-shaming is for show. You could approach a 10/10 and he'd still fuck you if he's horny enough. It's all about timing. Unless you've got supermodel looks we're all stuck in the same hell hole. And even then you'd probably be getting raped by Harvey Weinstein. You should prioritize your education as having a high income will permit you to date wealthy moids and hire gorgeous whores. Or you could pay for your ugly scrotes' plastic surgery. Usually rich people only marry other rich people and looks don't matter too much. At the end of the day, uglies win. Men have liberated themselves from beauty standards by collectively being hideous and doing nothing to fix it. Life is unfair, one can only accept it or kill herself. Acceptance doesn't mean awaiting your demise like a sacrificial lamb, it means doing whatever it takes to achieve your goal. It's a fighter mindset. It's not the 1800s anymore and you're not being sold to the highest bidder. Believe it or not, you're still more beautiful than any given male. Women have neoteny and males don't. Our futures are inherently loveable and God's light shines through our eyes. Think about it like this, an "ugly" cat can still be cute. Because it's a kitty cat! This is also true of "ugly" women. Don't see yourself through the eyes of someone else. Look into the mirror and see this:

are a reflection of you in real life, just flipped. If you want to see what you look like for real, get a true mirror. Cameras distort your features and aren't reliable measures of beauty.

>>401944People like mirror selfies because they’re used to seeing mirrored reflections of themselves. To another person you look the same in the mirror and irl, they can’t tell the difference. Thinking mirrors make you prettier or uglier is wrong, they only make
you think that way because only you look at your face so often. In reality, you look how you do in the mirror, but if you saw your true reflection you’d still think you’re hideous even if you think your mirror image is nice. But it’s just you, other people can’t see the difference.

My pretty friend "feels" ugly sometimes and I'll reassure her, because she's a genuinely good person and friend. As for people I don't care about I'll just change the topic or comment on something else. Idk what they expect me to say and I certainly don't feel like discussing appearances with strangers or people I don't like.
I also don't have pictures of myself. The ones I do are out of obligation. I tend to take pictures of things or the location for memories. They won't make me depressed to look at and I'll still have the memory from that moment.

I had my haircut almost perfect, there was just a bit I needed someone to get in the back, so I asked my mom to just take off the tiniest bit…. Anons she created a straight up shelf halfway up my head. The only way to fix it was to do a really close shave up to the bump of my skull in the back. I tried to fade it but I’m not a barber. Of course then the front had to change to match. I decided on really short fringe in the front and I actually did a great job and I love the style, just… not on me. I have a long bulldog face with no strong mid face bone structure, and without more hair framing my face, it really highlights my ugliness front and center. I know I don’t have the face type to pull off this hair cut, and it’s so frustrating that when i go out, other people will also be thinking that. Of course the hair will grow out, but it just sucks. I wish I had a normal looking face. I don’t have a single attractive facial feature to comfort myself with. Not my eyes, not my lips, not my cheeks, not my eyebrows, nothing— the best it gets is “boring and homely”, and most of my features don’t even achieve that.

I look like an unwashed grandma who's trying to fit with the youngesters, but I'm just 22. I just look way too old and a bit manly, and look like I'm dirty 24/7 no matter how clean I am because it's the nature of my weird skin, and probably caused by all the health issues I have out of my control, and my genetics. Which all add to the soul crushing experience of being ugly. I would've had potential if it wasn't for certain factors, but those factors beem there for too long to reverse the damage now. Might actually kill myself over this. On a related tangent, I also avoid taking selfies at all because of this, and hide my face with my big phone whenever I want to take a picture of an outfit. All the tips on how to take a nice picture don't work with me because I'm that unphotogenic. The only "good angle" I have is impossible to capture and I only did capture it once, but my nose looks way bigger than it actually is in that picture, it's so frustrating. My lookd are so jumbled and weird that I forget what I look like sometimes and decided to pretend it's whatever I think I do look like in my head, until a mirror or camera shatters that illusion. I especially hate when I hang out with my friends and they take pics and videos of us together and I just look so off compared to them all. Sorry for the rant kek.

Ugly dull eye color, ugly eye shape, ugly thin shapeless lips, ugly chin, ugly huge crooked nose, bad skin, ugly frizzy hair, etc etc. Not only that but I have an uglybod, am mentally ill and also have a bunch of autoimmune conditions so I can’t even say ‘at least my body/health/brain is good’

I seriously hate being ugly, the least I interact with people, the better I feel about myself, but once I go out and interact with people outside my very small trusted circle, I spiral back to feeling miserable because I'm hideous.
I have only 1 friend who has genuinely told me that I look pretty and I cling to her desperately because I think she's so pretty.
I have a really retarded body because I'm fat, which makes my face look like shit because I'm not a cute fat girl, I'm a hideous fat woman with a permanent double chin because of my retarded chin that I seriously want to get fixed, with a droopy nose because as a kid I had lots of issues with allergies, so I would constantly just push it down (I didn't pick my nose, I thought that was gross and nasty even back then) which makes my nose look like a weird beak, my eyes are clearly asymmetrical, and it shows clearly on pictures, specially pictures taken by others, I have scars all over my legs from skin picking and now I even have lots of cellulite.
No matter how much I workout and diet I never stick to it because I just feel miserable whenever I have my period, I get sick monthly and it makes me lose any sort of motivation I could have mustered up to workout.
I look like shit in any outfit because being skinny is probably the only way for me to look decent, so it's like I'm always dressing a pig with silk, but in this case I'm the pig, the worst part is that pigs can look cute, I can't.
I've always been told that in hideous by anyone who is my age, younger or older, specially from anyone from my country, it's like they consider me a lesser being for daring to exist and not look pretty.
My hair isn't long enough to be considered special or pretty, it's just right at bra strap length, but if I cut it I look even more obese than with my long hair.
The worst part is that I look myself in the mirror or using my phone camera, and I don't think I'm ugly enough to be hated this much, specially by moids, but everyone except my one friend and my family keeps assuring me that in really fucking hideous.
I just wish I could just always stay locked in my house, not interacting with anyone but my family and my friend, living happily in delusion land so I don't have to feel this shitty.
And yeah, I don't use social media other than pinterest for art references which yeah, makes me wish I was at least skinny, and WhatsApp to talk with my family, that's it. I never even check stories and shit because I know I will just feel like shit.
I really hate being ugly, I know, I know that being pretty isn't any better but hell, I would like to have pretty people problems sometimes too, instead of feeling like anywhere I go, everyone looks at me with disgust, disdain, anger and pity.

If you’re really ugly, I recommend trying a completely different hairstyle. I was looking through old pictures of myself and was in shock about how hideous I was when I had long hair (had shoulder length hair most of my life). To use the crude numbering system, I was at BEST a 2/10, and the only reason I can’t say I was 1/10 is because I wasn’t like medically deformed or obese kek. A couple of years ago I cut my hair into a pixie in a moment of “fuck it”ness, and it’s improved my appearance so much, like some sort of optical illusion that makes my face not so incredibly hideous. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still ugly, but I’d say I moved up to a 3.5/10 now and that actually makes a huge difference.
2/10 is “everyone who sees you pities you for being so ugly, you are hard to look at”, while 3.5/10 is “very homely but most people just look past you” which is a miracle for me. I never would have expected a haircut to cast such a powerful illusion and tbh I don’t understand it, but I’m so glad I discovered this.

>TLDR; Style your hair and wear sunglasses kek
experimented this week since I visited a touristic city and realized I've gotten a whole lot thinner. During the day I dolled myself up.
>curled my hair
>wore something summery..shorts and a top. decently simple but classy.
>no makeup, but my skin is well taken care of.
>i do not shave. i am very hairy everywhere.
>bought sunglasses that suit my face shape and compliment skin tone.
I got stares in the street. Pointed at. Eyes following me from all sorts of people (ages, sex, races, from average looking folk to even 'pretty' people). Got catcalled passing through an alleyway and when I hit the town square. Strangers struck up conversation with me and hovered around. It's fascinating how obscuring the majority of your face with sunglasses just makes you more 10x more alluring to people. Must be the mystery or 'cool' factor.
During the night.
>wore biker shorts
>jacket similar to a leather jacket
>hair braided back like those female mma fighters
>my regular glasses
The treatment from men was night and day. Women on the other hand only really waver and remained for the most part polite but it was still evident that they're kinder (some get bitter tho kek) if you're prettier. Minimal glances, ppl avoiding me on the street, annoyed and impatient attitude if I interacted. Planned on getting a bite to eat, narc father was pissed about my appearance since he has this hang up with hair. It's fucking hot idgaf about styling my hair especially since he only gives a shit about how he's perceived by strangers. Meaning I better make him look good. Got called cute by a drunk guy at 3 am though.
I also kept the same facial expressions throughout and wasn't any more smiley or pouty in either cases.
Now I know that if I give 5% more effort and perform this feminine shit…I'll get treated better. I hate this game. fixed sth..posted again

I've been called he/him/sir by other women and I don't know if it's been out of spite or what. I have a large nose, small lips, strong cheekbones, pronounced browbone (that I hide with bangs), and sharp jaw. Deepish voice. Not super masculine, but not hyperfeminine. At best, people compare me to younger Anjelica Huston. I know it shouldn't matter but it stings sometimes to be called "sir". Just because I don't have a pig button nose doesn't mean I'm not a biological woman. I'm not ever going to get plastic surgery though. I'm thinking maybe if I wear eyelash extensions or something people will stop calling me sir.

Most recently I overheard a group of douchebags at work calling me “bangs”. I was so confused what that could even mean, I have bangs because it’s the most flattering haircut I’ve found.

>>424278I got that kind of comments a lot since I was a literal baby. People would to go my mom -according to her at least- and say "wow yoir daughter looks like a monkey, should've let her die in the hospital or something". I find this hilarious tbh, can't get angry at it because they're kinda right. In school, other girls would constantly tell me I need to trim and brush my eyebrows because they're too thick and ugly, nowadays that is in style so I get compliments about it but they still say I should brush it and fill it in with make up because, get this, it's not thick enough??? And as a kid, they'd point out my crooked nose a lot, I didn't believe them at first until my own family members started noticing and making fun of me for it, then I started to see it and how I have 2 different side profiles because of this. Way to escape law enforcements I guess? I got too used to it that I find it funny when it's pointed out to me, but they also laugh at me if I ever say I'm gonna get it fixed so idk what are they trying to achieve exactly? But eventually, I just learned what I actually dislike about my looks and what I like, so people's comments don't get to me if I think they're wrong, and it's funny when I do agree and I'd be like "yeah that's true, gonna fix it once I make enough money because I'm aiming for a high paying job and I'll be rich enough to afford it.", idk why but it works to shut them up about it. I stopped coming across people who make comments about my looks with age, except my family ofcourse, and my current friends are very accepting and nice so I rarely hear that kind of commentary these days, other than inside my head when I look at the mirror lmao. I wonder sometimes, if I never got those comments since childhood, would I be more accepting of my looks? Because all those "pretty" girls in media and social media never got into me and I always found them either ugly and too unnatural, or just mid, so I never bothered comparing myself to them and getting upset about my looks, so I imagine maybe without that part of my childhood I'd be more confident. My rejection of makeup also stems from this, because girls at school and family members sometimes would tell me wearing makeup would cover up my ugliness, so I ended up associating makeup with being ugly and not fixing it permanently but temporarily by covering it up, so I refused to waste money, time and effort on such a non-solution. But I gotta say, I prefer natural bare faces over makeup-ed faces in general, and think my face looks decent already without makeup, I just need to fix my nose and lighten my lips and get healthier because my 22 yo ass is already losing my buccal fat and looking very gaunt.

>>424365Ayrt, I can’t really relate because if anything I get more insults from strangers as an adult than when I was a kid for some reason, and my family was never mean to me and instead try to convince me I’m not hideous which is somehow more annoying imo. And to me, responding to people who call me ugly with “yes I’m going to give up thousands of dollars to fix my face” is probably the most pathetic thing to say back for me personally. I just want to be able to mind my own business without being constantly reminded about how offensive other people find my face.
>>424351Yes I mean I agree they’re jerks but what gets to me is that even the nice people who don’t make comments about my face are still just as disgusted by it internally. It feels bad to inspire a natural negative reaction in people and make their day just that much more unpleasant for having to have looked at me or interacted with me. It’s not a matter of self esteem really because I like who I am just fine, I’m just tired of inspiring such negative reactions in others just by existing.

>>426352This is me with my malnourishment and skin issues, eyebags, and broken nose. Also dark lips that look smaller than they actually are because the dark edges blend in with my facial skin tone. My teeth could also be an issue because, despite my prominent chin, I still look like I have an overbite. My jawline isn't bad but could be better. I think if I start with my broken nose, the rest will fall into place on its own. My eyebrows shape could use some shaping, if it was more angular it would've looked better, but it's super round and flat/straight and gives my face an undesirable "soft" look that is more on the retarded side, idk how to explain it. It's a bit masculine as well so I don't like it that much. Lightening my lips using some skin treatments or laser treatments even could help a lot, since this darkness seems natural and not from dryness, biting or anything else that can be reduced or reversed. Idk what I can possibly do for my eyebags though, they say caffeine works if it's just hyperpigmentation, but if it's something you're born with then there's no way to get rid of it. And I can't tell which one is it kek.

I can’t take being ugly anymore. I just can’t take it. I’m against plastic surgery but I’m getting really close to just throwing away my moral code and just doing it. But the thing is, it’s a lose lose situation because

>Option 2: get the surgery, look better, people stop treating me differently, maybe even get to date, but will forever be beating myself up and feeling horrible and guilty and selfish for caving and getting surgery against my principles and at the expense of societal progress.

you would likely regret it. plastic surgeons are scammers and they want you to keep coming back and give you worse body dysmorphia. it's not worth it. it'd be better to try and accept the appearance you were born with, as hard as that may be.
>I’m also very strict with making sure my actions align with my principles, I really never do anything that goes against what I think is right, and I don’t know how I could live with myself if I got plastic surgery. But at the same time, spending the rest of my life like this is equally unfathomable.i feel similarly about my own principles in that i am firm in them so i sympathize with you. if it is truly a damned if you do damned if you don't situation, think of it this way:
>you are miserable with yourself for going against your firm principles or you are to remain miserable with your appearanceso if you are miserable either way, if things stay as they are, then that is what you are used to. but if you go the plastic surgery route, things can go wrong. so not only did you go against your principles, you could potentially be stuck with a bogged surgery that needs to be fixed with more surgeries. or you get stuck with a surgeon who wants to rework your entire face with procedures you didn't even want before, or your filler keeps migrating and it's fucking with your perception of yourself even more. i think there's way more of a chance of things getting worse if you go the plastic surgery route, and it would be filled with regret. whereas you have been with your appearance your whole life. maybe it will always be bad, but i feel like it's important to stick to your principles especially when you feel so strongly about them. i think it's a good quality to have.
it would be better to try with every fiber of your being to fully accept yourself as you are (even if you cant) than to go to the option that you clearly are against. to go to a seedy surgeon who doesn't care about your well-being. i don't think plastic surgery would solve the issue, and it especially is not going to fix your self-esteem either. it's also risky. it's not something you can reverse. i hope you can some day be happy with your appearance without some butcher cutting up your face. i wish you well nona

face. It's undignified and belittling. Changing your appearance this much will make you alienated and
trigger further dysmorphic spiralling. Alienation begets alienation.

Probably influenced by a caretaker or someone who did not have the possibility to change anything but oh boy, you know if they could, they would.
Also this is seriously stunting development in other areas of her life.

>>430493nona i have no idea why you're replying this to me, i don't care nearly as much as the anon that i was replying to who was projecting and reeeing at me for telling an anon that she should reconsider the plastic surgery idea
>>430528>There is no special reward or medal for sticking to principles that cause you to have a miserable lifethat's correct, and there's no special medal or reward for having principles that fufill your life either. no one has principles because they're expecting something out of it. it's fine that you don't have any principles
nonnie, but the original nona does and she stated that hers were important to her. that's why i took that into consideration. when you want to give advice to someone, normally you'd want to pay attention to what they're saying.
you can assume whatever you want about me, i don't give a shit. we're on an anonymous website. it's extremely clear you like to jump to conclusions. i was offering advice to an anon who was conflicted, i replied and i told her how i felt about it. you come in and clearly just want to argue for the sake of arguing. if you love plastic surgery so much, there's a thread just for you, you can sperg in there about how many nosejobs you can get before it falls off

I fucking hate being back to college, among nothing but trust funded rich kids, every single one of these girls are just perfectly well put together
>perfect angelic faces
>perfect teeth and poster child smiles
>perfect discreet makeup
>perfect fucking skin, not a single one with the hint of a pimple, like how tf do they even pull this??
>perfect toned bodies, probably spend all their free time at the gym
>perfect fucking hair, sharp straight lean and thin, like they're all stepping out of the hairdresser every single morning at 7am
>perfect clothing, effortlessly looking both cute and approachable
>perfect natural nails
>perfect voice and mannerism
>never show any hint of annoyance, as if their lives is just this nevermind stream of fun and praise
they're literally the male gaze incarnate, they all fucking look and feel the same, makes me want to kms, like I could spend all my time, all my saving for years and probably wouldn't even look a 10th as good, they all make it look effortless as well, like it's all they've been busying themselves with from birth till now, looking perfect at all times is like their second nature
I'm literally seething all day every day, I feel like giving up and dropping out every single time I come across one, and they're literally everywhere
I'm not even really ugly and I still want to hide myself in shame and never look back
I think I'm starting to turn myso even

>>430727then try snooping on their conversations, and you'll be astonished by what you find, all I've ever catched them talking about was either about who's fucking who, or the latest cosmetic, like try this gloss this, check out my latest dry shampoo that!, like bitches, aren't I supposed to be the one having no life? do you even have hobbies besides getting ready to get fucked all day?
plus what really makes my blood boil is how they're only even here as a glorified womanchild daycare, they don't even need to pass, they know they've already made it anyway
that's what ivy league schools feel like to your average slaving wannabe phd candidate

>>431154blowing thousands every month on cosmetics and professional care isn't a grind I respect, it's just endgame pickmeism, and simply pushing the bar for everyone around them

>>430727>>430731it’s easy to lament something that feels unobtainable but it’s important to question if you’d really want to be that girl if you suddenly could. would you enjoy living under that identity? being the "male gaze incarnate"? would it make you happy? would you want to do the same perfect makeup that everyone else does and put on clothing that everyone else has? can you commit to the gym lifestyle?
i used to be jealous of them too, i actually came pretty close in highschool, grew out my hair, found less frumpy clothes, did minimal makeup until i felt about the same cuteness level with the other girls (suspend your disbelief, this was a british school lol). it was lame and gay. it wasn't my vibe. i suck at being a normie girl but normie girls would likewise suck at being me, because i’m my own person with my own talents and strengths, and so are you.
so do you genuinely want to do all that? personally gym & positive mindset are the only points important to me, that shit is life changing, i dont care about the other stuff.

>>431238it's not so much that I envy their appearance or the attention they get, but it's actually the lifestyle of self-centered "idleness" that they flaunt, that's what makes them attractive, it just screams "I have so much free time and disposable money just look at what I can afford to achieve"
while I literally have to work 60-hours a week just to secure my place in this hellhole, I don't actually have time for any of this crap, I'm lucky if I can hastly straighten my hair not to look like a complete dork once every other morning, before comuting for over an hour, and find a few hours to do some cardio every week not to die prematurely at age 40
and they either live on luxury campus dorms or in their nearby mcmansion
I could spend hours researching every little subject related to human physiology and cosmetic chemistry like an autistic redditor, but that wouldn't even come close to professional care, they probably don't even know the first thing about anything either besides knowing how to order them at the menu, so it's just served to them in a silverplate
that's what I seethe about, and there's literally nothing I can do

>>430253>Literally no1curr except for chronically online people who selfloathe themselvesI don't notice subtle surgery, i'm not well versed in that. I wasn't even thinking about strangers, i was thinking of anon's friends, family, her coworkers, all the people she knows. They won't miss her appearance change, they'll know she hated herself enough to go under the knife. It's undignified and permanent, unlike her own struggle to make peace with her looks. She might keep getting surgeries and then everyone will know. Your response is disproportionate, did it strike a nerve or something? Dysmorphia is a mental illness, cope
>>430486Great answer. You get used to hating your looks but it isn't normal. It's just not. There are other, better things to do and plastic surgery doesn't treat the underlying issue.

>>431281>Your response is disproportionate, did it strike a nerve or something? Dysmorphia is a mental illness, copekek nona i thought the same exact thing, it definitely struck a nerve. she's way too aggressive and still has yet to say how plastic surgery actually helps anybody. i can only guess she's yet another example of someone who got plastic surgery and it didn't magically fix their self-esteem.
>>431281>There are other, better things to do and plastic surgery doesn't treat the underlying issue.agreed. i think that nona gave good advice, there isn't only two options. therapy can help. plastic surgery has risks and it doesn't restore someone's destroyed confidence. often times it feels like the person will continue to keep fixating on more and more parts of their face they don't like and continue to get surgeries until they're unrecognizable or are straight up bogged. many such cases. that's why if the original nona already has reservations, i would suggest she stick to her principles because just one procedure can spiral her down a path of many other procedures that will lead her feeling unfufilled

>>430727>perfect voiceHuh? I think you need to chill out a bit. Women with good bone structure also have great skin and body. So they don't have to do much to achieve the ideal look.
Since they already have a great body and face, they don't have to spend much time on the makeup and dressing because they will look great anyway. I think it's halo effect. Even if you dress perfectly and do your makeup, you won't look as good as them.
You also said they're rich which means they can invest more money into beauty.
>>431281Same points being made. Beauty is everything if you're a woman. There's no point in denying it. Plastic surgery is the best investment you can make to yourself. What do you people think therapy is? Magic wand? Therapy won't do shit to you if you have real problems. Drugs can help you to function better. I don't think anyone in here who advice her to do the opposite of getting surgery have good intentions.

I used to struggle with body dysmorphia and depression. It is still a part of my life but during the last half a year I made tremendous progress. I managed to distance myself from a lot of triggers and I have been doing great really. Got a new job, moved houses, got a new wardrobe that makes me feel comfy. I stopped caring about my looks a lot, even coming to work without perfectly shaved legs and not caring (this is a lot for my obsessive ass). I am more vocal about my opinions and more open in general.
My issues stem from having a couple bad facial features. On their own they wouldn't be that terrible, very unconventional though, but having all of them together makes me look kinda ugly. Like I have a pretty big nose, both tall and wide and upturned so I look like a pig, long philtrum, pretty small lips, big forehead, bad hairline shape and cleft chin. On top of that I had very bad acne, that despite everything I did to treat it left a lot of scarring and discoloration that is still fading. So overall, that is pretty fucked. My body unfortunately is not earning me any points either.
Now there is the thing. I got hired at this place with this other girl. She is like three years younger than me, she is nice and of course she is prettier than me. I didn't really put much thought into it at the begining. We were both talking to the same people at the office, since we all sit with the same group. Both me and her got pretty close and we later made friends with the rest of people. I was feeling great about it all. Honestly the people were the best part of the job. I quickly learned that I have a LOT to talk about with our work friends, since me and the group have much more matching interests than the them and the girl. So even though she was prettier I thought I will do just as well socially since I'm talking with a lot of them so much, some days much more than she does.
Well it started slow I guess, but I did notice it. At the beginning it was just overly making sure that she is doing okay at work, checking if she needs help, and trying to help ease her struggles a bit. I was assumed sometimes to just "make it work" whereas she was worried about and helped. Then there were times where me and her were bantering and our work friends would assume that I said something fucked up because she is "too nice" to be able to have such a strong riposte. Essentially assuming that I must be the "mean one". At one point they straight up said it, that they would believe that I was being mean. Even though they hear her sometimes obliterating me when we banter. It's also annoying that they constantly ask her about herself, whereas I don't get the same treatment. She can also talk for long periods of time and everyone will listen without interrupting.
But last week was too much. So, I graduted nonnies. I got my degree, yay for me. So I have been stressing over that thing the entire two months and a half that I have been working there, venting to people at work and all. And last week I had my defence of thesis. The other girl on the other hand was starting university that week. Guess who got asked about their shit. Yeah, she did. No one fucking remembered to ask me. But they all ask about her schedule and classes and what not. It hurt nonnies.
At this point I believe it must be my looks. People immediately treat me differently. No matter how nice I am, how social I try to be and how good I'm meshing with people interest wise I still get worse treatment.
Now I'm back in this ugly spiral of researching plastic surgery and intensive facial treatments. If I had the money right now I would just do it.
I truly wanna come back to being a shut in and just isolate away from people. No matter how hard I try I guess it won't matter in the end and this is proofcof that. It's all so futile. I gave it my best shot and it's still nothing ffs.
