I hate the way i look
82% Normal
24 Comments

Okay, i thought id use this website as some kind of wild shot, iv no idea what kinda of feedback you get.

I guess to underline the matter, i really just hate the way i look. Im a teenage girl and suffer from having spots, i have no self confidence and cannot see past it. I have a boyfriend, and im constantly terrifed hes going to find somebody new, because im such a state. I constantly feel at a loss, i really dont see anything positive with my appearence, so i dont understand why my boyfriend would. Im hideously jealous of practically every one of my friends, and i hate the fact that i am serioiusly the only one out of them all with spots. Ive tried so much stuff to get rid of them, and nothing seems to work. I just feel helpless. Its stopping me from being happy, and i cant look directly at people/friends when im out with them because i feel so ugly. Im so paranoid about my boyfriend, and it kills me to think that he finds other people attractive, but i know he must do, and i just dont se why hes with me when he could do so much better.Ill never take a photograph, and i just cry when i look at mirrors. I dont think i could ever explain any of this to any of my friends, they dont seem to understand, and perhaps think im just seeking attention, but thats the last thing i expect to get. Its seriously getting me down. I thought there was some kinda of condition that this may fall under, but i dont know.
Do you think it's normal?

There is probably nothing wrong with you all girls suffer from spots at some time or another. All the worrying is probably causing the spots and you say you have a BF if you were as ugly as you think you are you wouldnt have a BF at all and you say you have friends if you were ugly you wouldnt have any of that so stop worrying I bet theres really nothing wrong. Jelousy is a very bad thing to have get it under control or you could lose both your friends and BF

What are these spots that u are talking about?
do u mean, like freckles?
Or something bigger??
Look, im sure ur bf is with u because he knows and sees u are beautiful, kind and other things. These spots obviously dont get in the way of him being with u. So if he is with u, im sure u are not ugly, and that other guys will think u are beautiful too.

Yea what "spots"? Freckles are cute, and acne can be cured if you go to a dermatologist. I bet you are talking about acne scars. They sell scar removal kits at walmart. Try one of those, and if it doesn't work, then beg your parents to take you to a dermatologist. In the meantime you need to come back down to reality and realize that the outer appearance means nothing, it's what is on the inside that counts. I always notice overweight, or plain looking girls who are nice always have friends and are always happy. The girls who are boring, quiet, or even loud, and rude are the miserable ones. You are lucky to have a boyfriend, not because you think you are ugly, but because he sees something there that you don't see. Work on the inner you, remember beauty is not always only skin deep.

What you need is a big fat penis to suck on. I have one for you. It is 7-3/4" erect, and shoots a huge load of cum. Maybe a mouthful or a pussyful of cum would make you feel better. Or I could just pull out and cum on your face or titties.

Okay, lady, you have a bf, he chose you for a reason, be happy about it. I know I'm ugly, but if I have a gf, SOMETHING about me must be going good

Look at it this way. Some people don't even have arms or legs. Think about that darling. Your fine and either way its the inside that counts.

I am so glad I'm not back in highschool. Listen kid, the acne will go away someday; it's just a cruel leftover from evolution. Your stressing out is making it worse as well. Get a script for some valum in the short term and find a good shrink for the long term.

Freckles can be really cute on girls, if they're the right tone, place, and face.

If not, regular use of sunblock will inhibit their growth.

Hey, the "category" that you may fall under is called body dysmorphic disorder. It's a condition in which people have an unrealistically negative image of themselves, and it interferes with their daily lives. Or, you could just be a normal teenager who's saying things that many teens are thinking - seriously. It's a fine line between what's normal, and what's a problem. If you do meet the criteria for body dysmorphic disorder, It's treatable, both with meds and therapy. Your acne is also something you should see your doctor about. Good luck.

Long posts often have the solution included in the post.

That is your case!

You tried to explain this to your friends but they didn't understand. And they are the ones who CAN SEE YOUR face!

Interesting.

Your boyfriend is desirable enough to have other options and you said you have a nice circle of girlfriends.

Would seem you have other attributes that make people want to be around you. You are just overlooking the good IN YOU.

What helped me was to make a list ON PAPER of all the POSITIVE things I did during the day. No matter how small. Include complements you receive, uplifting conversations, guys who paid you special attention ... you get the idea.

Betcha by the end of the day you will have a full page! That will cure this type of negativity, it did me. Write it down and look at it in print, don't let it all swirl in your mind, this actually works!

For these "spots" I'll bet its a food sensitivity or allergy. Start with Google, meds will only f*uck you up.

Comment back and let us know!

Everyone can work on the things about their appearance that they don't like. First of all, talk to a good doctor. There are many, many new medicines out that can help with many skin disorders. People don't have to put up with alot of stuff any more. If it goes beyond that, go to a spa or hairdresser and get a makeover (new hair color, cut, make up) and try some new clothing styles. There ARE things you can do!
