Ugly Hurts

[dessaley]

Hi, I'm new here. I've been feeling horrible about myself and my appearance.. Why does "Ugly" have to exist in this cruel world? I can't enjoy life, because of the way I feel about my appearance. I can't accept that the face I have will ever be OK. I been struggling with self-acceptance for years.

Hi dessaley, there really is no such word as "ugly" It sadly happens to be a perception

in what you think you are. Working on loving yourself will give you self acceptance.

We all are a part of this world, cruel or not. We all are here for a reason. Life is not just

about the beautiful people. We all contribute something in our lives. What others think

of us cannot harm us unless we allow it to. I will help turn your life around because no one

deserves to feel as you do.

I'm happy to Welcome you here dessaley. xx

Thank you very much, I needed to hear this.. maybe I am thinking selfishly.. I hadn't considered how many people would feel from my horrible opinion. And I am sorry. I just guess I hadn't found a purpose yet to live for.

I read somewhere a while back that resonated with me,snowflakes are beautiful,Christmas lights are beautiful,yet they are absolutely nothing alike. That's absolutely true. We are all different and have our own beauty and we need to recognise our own. I hope you see your beauty.

You are right.. everyone does perceive beauty differently. And I'm being the worst critic to myself. x.x I hope I c an realize this someday. It's really hard to accept myself, but I'll try. <3

I’m sorry - but honestly I have to say who really can define outward ugly or beauty?? I mean there’s no 1 beautiful type if you ask me! Only ugly is ugly behavior! But beauty can shine through anyone as well!! There’s a YouTube video you should please watch I think was sponsored by dove beauty it’s about what is beauty -please look for it it’s very good -I’m not sure how to link or share on here if anyone knows how please let me knw!
