People have called you ugly to your face? Ask a trusted friend what about your appearance is "off". Is it the nose, weak chin, what?


I've told this story before when people have posted on here concerned about their looks: Back in the 90's, my assistant and I went to a customer service seminar in Raleigh, NC. The guy that gave the seminar had a nice physique but his face was a 1 or 2 at best. But you know what? He had the best personality and he was dressed like a male model. By the end of the night we were in love with him.


People who cultivate a good personality, have self confidence no matter what they look like, take an interest in other people by really listening to them and who dress as well as they afford have no problem finding love. If someone walks around like a Gloomy Gus because they think they are ugly are not going to attract the right people.

Stop looking in to plastic surgery, and look for a therapist. Pronto. Or you're going to be wasting your money on the surgery because you will still lack self-confidence.
By feel good about myself, I meant she would compliment my appearance.

Yes, people have said it many times to my face. I actually DM'd someone on here a picture of myself last night and he gave me some advice about work I could potentially have done. I realize that there are other qualities that one can have that can make them more attractive but I actually want to be and feel attractive as well.

I think it's interesting that you would ask this question. I wonder if you're trying to determine the true nature or extent of the problem, meaning that if people actually call you ugly to your face then there must be some significant appearance issue going on, or whether you doubt that people are actually this cruel?

And now that you don't have her complimenting your appearance, you don't feel good about yourself. My comments still stand.

Yes they do. Real live people who might read comments her and who just experience their height as an issue in many aspects of their lives. And yet here you are adding to their issues with several gratuitous posts about men's height. How sweet.

It depends. If you think people look attractive when they are surprised by something, then yes.

OP, the challenge is in your head. Your self-confidence is in the toilet. You just went through a break-up.

You are looking for constant re-affirmation and floundering because you aren't receiving it. At age 19, you don't need a dentist to tell you your teeth are straight - you can look in the mirror and tell that - its very easy. This lack of self-confidence is readily evident to the people around you and is the root of your feelings of inadequacies.

Do you have friends you can speak with or do things with to take your mind off your break-up?
Why did your girlfriend break up with you?
Don't make any rash decisions because of this troubled time you are in.
