Does anyone else have a hard time believing someone else when they find you attractive?

I'm talking to a few guys online currently because I'm attempting once again to find love. Yeah I know I'm a stupid idiot for even trying and it probably won't end well as usual but I'm trying. Anyways one guy said I was gorgeous and I about wrote him back telling him that's not true and that he's joking right. I just have NEVER believed anyone who said I was because i myself never feel it. I just have never been able to see it no matter how much I do to myself. I was picked on a lot growing up for my looks and to this day it has affected me.

I have hard time believing it.

It's not necessarily low self-esteem for me it's honestly just fact I'm not as attractive as others. Like I take selfies, I think I can be cute or even sexy (heck I can turn myself on with right outfit lol)

But when it comes to being attractive to others, definitely don't think so. I hate when I say that (cuz they ask why I don't date) & people think I want them to convince me I'm a catch or that I want them to compliment me.
I definitely do not, it's as simple as that; not that attractive to men in general. I'm self aware enough to know where I'm at on the attractive scale just based on my interactions with others over the years.

I will say this though, I'm sure I'm attractive to someone to point they want to date me but so far hasn't happened.
