I Am The Ugly Friend

There is something really freeing in knowing you are the ugly friend, and when I say this to people they often try to defend my "honor" and say things like "Noooo dont say that" and honestly, all I hear is empty words and lies. Like it's okay I know I am not the most attractive person especially compared to my friends and like I said it's almost liberating in a sense not having to wonder if people will like me because I know they won't. And maybe that's my insecurity or maybe it is just me facing reality but it is one of the best ways to cope with myself.

I can relate to being the ugly friend because I was always the one left out when we would go out. Always felt like a 3rd wheel when my friends would pick up dates and I sat alone. I did not however find it empowering, more like the painful reknforcer of my low self esteem at the time.

@IBHappy Yeah I understand. For me, it is more a coping mechanism as instead of being hurt, I try to remain numb. Hope life treats you well!

@newdawnnewday Thank you. Life has been pretty good to me in the long run as and I'm no longer the sad insecure shell of a person I used to be. May you be blessed well too.

You know that's relatable. I was 13 and I wasn't exactly the most attractive person in my friends group because I was chubby and had bigger boobs and butts compared to my thin friends. But at least you have friends who don't hurt you and make you feel insecure directly, like telling you that boys won't date you or if you do, he would be a ugly guy like you. Well, my friends did that and it killed my self esteem for a long time. It took me years to understand it takes good personality to find the right guy for you no matter how good looking you are because I was the one ended up having a good guy for myself and my so called friends had to go for arranged marriage set up by their parents because they couldn't find a guy. Just throw away your insecurities and live life happily.

@JBird Aww im so sorry they did that to you. They obviously had no right to make you feel like that. Genuinely happy you got a good guy and life! And thank you I will try.
