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.
