Feeling like a worthless and ugly Male

Hey guys, how do you deal with feelings of worthlessness and ugliness? It's like no matter how much I work out and what nice pieces of clothes I buy, i still feel like a worthless and ugly male. It's like I feel that any kind of confidence that manifests in my brain is self-delusion and a lie.

Amen brother. Me too.

It is a lie...I'm the same..everyone doesn't believe I have low self esteem and no confidence...my friend told me that it's distorted images of myself when I tell her I'm ugly...it's like a thin person looking in a mirror and seeing themselves as fat..

I Used to feel that way, I hated myself. Thanks to therapy I learnt to love and like myself. I would suggest you find a good therapist to walk you thru your feelings. You could also consider joining group therapy, I did that also and it was for me a wonderful way to grow and learn to love my self. I am sure you look Very nice in your clothes, but what is inside will shine on the outside. Be kind to yourself, remember Jesus said "Love thyself as you love your neighbour", so do it my friend, I love you and do not know you yet. So come and talk to me/us we will walk you thru it. Same goes for you also Here_am_I

and ellinaki. We are all special and all lovable, therefor likable, shine on you lovely people. I send you love and confidence.......Sprinkle 1.......xx with hugs ooo

It has got to be the illness talking. On a good day i look in the mirror and think 🤔 well not bad I like me, and on bad days I am bombarded with how many things are wrong about me and mirrors are monsters.

The positive view is usually not always but usually right.

Usually, when I hear people say this I am so sad cause no one is ever born ugly or worthless. This is caused by the people and situations around us. Someone told you-you were never good enough or maybe you failed at something and felt like you will never measure up. Tubi9 you are beautiful, you are loved, you are worth it, you are good enough. I won't lie to you developing a positive self-image is hard as it means removing layers of social conditioning but the fact that you have talked about how you feel is a step in the right direction. Lisa Nichols puts it this way

' I stand in my greatness

I own my life, I own my brilliance, I am bold

I am courageous, I am perfect in my imperfections

This is my time, I am bright enough, I am old enough

I am young enough, I have experienced enough I am wise enough

I understand that I AM ENOUGH'

You can try saying that to your self until you start actually believing it cause that is the truth. All the best in discovering the beautiful great person that you are and if you need help we are here for you xx
