I’m so ugly and I just want to become prettier like my friends are.

I’m so ugly compared to all my friends. I know this is jealousy and it’s not good but I can’t help it. My eyelids are uneven and my eyes and just my whole face is ugly. My hair makes it worse too. I never have a good hair day and I’ve tried a lot of things but they don’t work that well in the end. It’s always frizzy and even if it looks okay in the morning, by the end of the day it looks horrible and it’s so embarrassing to go to school. My friends, on the other hand, are all so pretty. Nice hair that is silky and stays that way the whole school day. Beautiful faces and bodies. Amazing personalities and everyone likes them. Talkative, kind, caring, smart, funny, etc. My personality is horrible. I don’t even know why they’re friends with me. If I tell someone they also tell me that “nooo you’re so pretty too, you look good” but I know that it’s just lies to not be mean and straightforward. I just want to be prettier. I’ve grown to hate myself so much and I always try not to cry when I see myself at school in the mirror. I know no one would actually end up liking me romantically bc of my looks. I don’t think people know I am struggling this much with this and many other problems I’m having right now but to be honest, I don’t really think they’d care. Everyone is always struggling with something on their own and I shouldn’t burden them with something that Isn’t even that bad compared to what others experience, but this one time I need to vent on some random website that I found. Thanks for reading to the end? If someone has tips for hair or how to look prettier, please tell me.

When I was a young teen, I drew a diagram of my entire body front and back and circled everything I hated about my body. I wanted to get surgery for a scar I had, I hated my nose and my stomach (I was thin but had stubborn belly fat). I asked my father for money for surgery but he wouldn't give it to me. I'm glad he didn't give it to me because now I love my 'flaws'. Sounds fake but I really do!! Who the hell wants to look like a cookie-cutter image of what all other girls strive to look like? It's so damn boring. Also, who wants to have a boyfriend (or gf) that only wants that? You want to meet someone nice, someone who loves all of you. As far as hair, argon oil is good for shine! Also I bought a huge bottle of Rusk leave-in conditioner for a great price. That helps with the frizz. Please see yourself through the lens of someone that loves you. <3

You know, you brought up a great point. Everyone is struggling with something on their own. I would bet even your friends have times where they don't feel as pretty. You are no worse than anyone else. Sounds like you are particularly hard on yourself though. Self love isn't always easy. We see, we look in the mirror, we compare. Thing is, when we do this, we can lose sight of what makes us unique. There in lies the key. So I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for hair lol! I would like to offer something else you can do if you feel like it. In the morning before you start your day, take a second to look in the mirror and tell yourself something positive you see about yourself. It can be anything. Try to change up what you see each day. Remember, what makes us unique is what makes us beautiful.

Last I recall, looks doesn't define how pretty or beautiful you are; what's inside you does.

I grew up, avoiding the girls my age because there was no way I'd even try to talk to them. I had always preferred if people came to me, finding me, instead of me trying to find people.
If a girl wanted a color or something that was considered "girly" I'd make it my duty to not like the thing, because I have always felt not worthy of anything people my age wanted.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I was not blessed with a beautiful face. My nose is insanely out of place. I have ugly man, hands and ridiculous roast beef, meat curtains, and I have candles, but I still love myself. It’s not about looks. Don’t be surface level..

If your personality is horrible, work on it first.
