Some days I look in the mirror and think I look ugly, then the next I'll look and think that I'm attractive. Do other people also have this ever-changing view of themselves?
yes, i feel tha same. One day I look at the mirror and think im a princess and smile @ myself thinking bout my good look then the next day i dont even want to look at it while brushing my teeth .and think on how ugly i am and that shriek the ogor from the movie looks million of times better than me lol
Yeah, i get it all the time. I especially get it when I haven't slept really good and I get that blue looking color under my eyes. I hate it. But when I put cover up on there, it disappears and I think i look much prettier. What do you find not attractive on those days?
Whenever i get a compliment from somebody saying that I look good, i think they're just trying to be nice. I hate the way I look. ABSOLEUTLY HATE IT. Im glad you have confidence. =]
Why do people stare at me so much??? I think I'm pretty in some ways but in other ways I think I look very different from other people. I get a lot of attention from men and I actually don't like the attention so unfortunately I'm very shy and anti-social.
I think some people think they can walk all over me and when I blow up in their face they do not know what to say. I think some people think I'm more social, talkative, flirtatious and when they discover I'm not they don't know how to react.
I really could careless about my attractiveness. I feel so distant from other people. Like I'm not normal, but sometimes I want to be just like them. I wish I knew how to fit in with other people.
Yeah, my thought exactly. Let me break this down to you to help with clarification. If you think your ugly, odds are good that you truly are ugly If you're what your stating and flip flop on your idea of "attractiveness," then your a ditzy dumb girl who doesn't even know who she really is.
Either way, this story is too lame to continue so please have it removed as its nowhere near my top of the list of favorites on this site.
i have'nt had it personally with being hit on by guys but i'm lead to believe that people generally do think i'm Gay, and i dunno but i think it's only because i'm not all macho. it sucks
Your comment would mean a hell of a lot more if you posted a picture. The way I see it your just a poser asking for attention when you talk about your looks like that but offer nothing to back up your comments wit.
I get exactly the same; mostly with the whole without makeup situations. Sometimes I feel I like good without it, others I just have to put loads on to make myself feel even half appealing.
I believe I am insecure about my appearance and every person gets like it. I mean sometimes I feel like the ugliest person alive and want to just shove a bag on my head and be done with it.
:) At the end of the day, they say its what you think and not what others think, but when you feel like that; everyone else must be thinking it too.
@: Budthewise Posting a picture is beside the point: the topic is about an individual's perception of themselves, not other people's perception of the individual.
yeah its normal i go through this 24/7 i think im ugly one day and the next day im like damn i look good lol im 19 and i still do this but idk its weird sometimes it happends by weeks instead of days i think i am really ugly i hate pictures i think i look wierd lol idk what else to say because im a boy and i still think like this i seriously think im hideous but every body tells me im gorgus or hot or beautiful so dont worry about it it is something you will grow out of
idk lol i mean that happens to me... but i constantly try t convince myself that im pretty. and i always get yelled at for not taking compliments very well.... so.... it makes life easier to believe ur always pretty. :)
Wow i really know what your going through.I am 27 years old wih no hair,i sometimes think when looking at the pictures i take i am the bombshell.Than when i look in the mirror i make myself puke.Maybe it is when i put on the hair and makeup i look more sexier.
That totally happens to me too!!! Sometimes I get all dressed cute and look great before going out, and then when I go to the bathroom at the club, I'm like 'whoa, hello', and sometimes the opposite happens, I leave the house like 'uhh, I look blah', and then later I see myself even in a photo or the bathroom mirror and it's like 'whoa, hellooo!!!' ...I think it's probably how you are feeling at the given moment, sometimes you feel good, but sometimes you don't!!
yea thats normal, some days i have about 28 pints of lager then look at myself in the mirror and i find myself sooooooooo attractive, so i rip it off the wall and fuck myself in the mouth
YEAHH!!it s the fuckin truth, it happens to me all the time... in sum picz I look really ugly and I hate myself, but I ve got others uploaded and I get comments from hot girls giving me lots of compliments, so I really don t know... I just think it this way: if supermodels or hollywood actors were that good looking why would they need like 10 people to do a photosession or people to edit their photos??, and even more impressive, is that they don t look for regular people to do that job, they look for people with degrees and studys and excperience and all that stuff...
We are always seeing women who are looking beautiful, it is natural to compare yourself to them. The magazines and tv shows are full of beyond perfect women. It is completly natural to feel not so pretty sometimes. It is not ditzy at all. Just because you're perfect doesn't mean we all are.
Yeh it's normal because our self-esteem and confidence always changes. And there are so many variables to consider such as how much light is in the room, how good your skin is that day, how clean your hair looks, how much make-up you have on, what you are wearing, how you are feeling at the time, current mood etc.
I feel the same way! I think I look decently pretty in the mirror, but whenever I see a photo of myself, I cringe! Either we're both unphotogenic or we're somehow able to look over flaws better in the mirror.
YES! And also, I can't ever really grasp what I actually look like, even though I spend tons of time looking in the mirror and at pictures of myself. I just feel like I always have a biased opinion even though I try not to.
It all depends on your mood and energy. Attractiveness has much less to do with looks than it has to with self confidence and positive energy. A person can be really hot looking as far as societies ideal goes but they wont get far if they dont carry themselves well and have a good attitude. Superficial appearances may get you a foot in the door so to speak but if you are flaky, rude or boring etc etc you will be shown the exit pretty quickly. Those time you feel you look great are probably also the times when you are feeling most confident. People are attracted to confidence like bees to honey.
apparently mirrors make you look prettier than you actually are.
don't worry - this happens to me all the time too. one morning, when i slept for too long, my face becomes really bloated and so do my eyes and i just look really weird (more like ugly). but the next day for reason i slept very little and look tired but i when i try to look at the mirror all optimistic and stuff i look pretty! ok weird. i know. but i think it happens to everyone right ;)
Absolutely! This happens to everyone with no exceptions. It could be because of what someone told you, your mood at the moment, or even just the lighting in the room that makes you feel different about your physical appearance.
Most definitely, however it doesn't fluctuate based on the day but rather the time of day as well as other factors. My clothing, my hair, my skin. One minor blemish can change my entire opinion of myself, and if someone calls me attractive that makes me feel even more unattractive until I reflect on the compliment many hours later. Sigh, I hate my insecurities but they keep me from being arrogant about my average looks.
Our looks change on a daily basis depending on how well rested we were or what we have been eatinv (you are what you eat). So eat well and sleep well and you will be pleased with your reflection in the mirror every day
NORMAL! this happens to me all the time. One day, i will get ready and then look in the mirror and be like "dayummmm i look good", but then days later i will do the same thing and think "why do i bother to go in public?".
Yeah I feel the same. It like depends on how you feel. If your glum, down, sad, or depressed you have a frown and your features sulk. If your tired, you might have dark circles under your eyes. (on me I was born with dark rings under my eyes!) If your happy your features are perked and hotastic!
If you have doubts you are probably ugly but "fuckable." My recommendation is to stop worrying if it is normal or not. Make yourself skinny and sexually attractive. That's what guys like me want. Also, you have daddy issues. You should get that checked out but send me your number first.
Yeah I usually think i'm pretty good looking but sometimes Im just not, especially when I look at myself in the mirror when I'm beligerant at a party somewhere...
yes, me too, however, I also have the reverse- I look in the mirror and think I look really good but then I feel like others dont really view me as attractive as I feel that I look!
Of course I do, everyone has good and bad days. Most of the time I feel way more attractive than I actually am, it's just some sort of defense-mechanism.
You know those people that say they never look good in photos? Or people that are surprised by how good they looked? Well, that's because in a photo they're confronted with an undistorted and unfiltered real image of themselves.
When looking at yourself in a mirror, the brain interprets the data and basically modifies it to fit your idea of what you look like. The same mechanism comes into play when judging other people's appearance in real life. Negative thoughts, low self-esteem and depression among other things make you think that you're uglier than you really are, and vice-versa with narcissists etc. If that makes any sense.
Of course it happens alot. Some days you're just focusing on your nose or your eyes or a specific body part,thus making you feel attractive or unattractive depending on the body part at hand.
exactly the same for me, i cant stop looking in mirrors to see how i look. and each look fuelling the next as im dissapointed how im looking =S its horrible.
Happens to me everyday. I wake up and pass the mirror and think "Damnit! Another damn homeless person breaking into my house again!" then I take a shower and do my hair and say "DAAAAAAAAMMMMMMNNN MAMA! LOOKING GOOOOOD!" (lol, I don't really say that....sometimes. ^^)
yes! i usally try to trick myself though and say hey maybe i do look pretty and i convience myself its true but its notxD and im sure your gorgeous so dont worry about it;]
That's the story of my life. Some days I feel gorgeous and confident with my appearance, and other days I just want to break all the mirrors in the world. So yes, you are normal.
i think, when you take care of your self it happens more and more.
I think some people think they can walk all over me and when I blow up in their face they do not know what to say. I think some people think I'm more social, talkative, flirtatious and when they discover I'm not they don't know how to react.
I really could careless about my attractiveness. I feel so distant from other people. Like I'm not normal, but sometimes I want to be just like them. I wish I knew how to fit in with other people.

Get over it. You are great because you are YOU!

I know when I'm hot, I know when I'm ugly.
Even people spot my good days or bad, and I always agree :)

I look in my mirror and think im ugly, but then again, I am honest.
You should be too.
i blame the mirror
