Every day when I look in the mirror I'm disgusted. Sometimes I think I wouldn't even be going through this if I was good looking my whole life.

Does anyone else think that they're ugly, and do you believe that this belief holds you back?

I know I am ugly. If it makes you feel any better, I am 100% sure I am uglier than you.

It does hold me back. When I see people I assume the first thing they think about me is "Wow, he's so unnattractive."

I have never met and I can't imagine anyone uglier than myself.

We all know that beauty is on the inside.
and that makes me ugly.

I can't look at mirrors either. They're evil.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no....most of the time yes.

Naw not anymore. I'm not perfect looking, but most people aren't too.

I don't think I'm ugly. I know I am .

Yes. I can look in their bathroom mirror in the morning when I have to (like, to shave) but I have to prepare my self, well, I expect to see it. The other day I saw my reflection in a window at school and it got me down :-(

I'm neither ugly nor beautiful. I'm average and I'm okay with that.

I feel the same way you do, lostwitness. All we can do is get by together.

I'm average, but overweight, and that is unforgivable for many folk. So they probably see me as ugly.

I don't think I'm ugly, ugly. But I am terrified of people telling me I'm not attractive.

I'm ugly. Bad acne scars isn't exactly attractive.

when i was a teen my parents would constantly tell me how ugly i was. when i was in my early 20s, i would get a lot of compliments on how attracrive i was. now i dont think i look that good but it doesnt bother anymore

I've seen some people say that they're ugly here -- and when I see their picture they look sooo hot.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror I think I look kind of cute , even sexy , and then other times when I look in the mirror I am appallingly disgusted with my looks and feel ugly --although I almost always think my face looks good for a 52 year old and my hair is pretty snazzy, too.

I don't think that it's my belief about the way I look that ever holds me back. It's my (sometimes) skunky attitude that gets in my way.

I think I look okay until I compare myself to someone better looking than me. It used to really, really hold me back and I used to think I was too ugly for people to want to talk to. I used to be really overweight and my mind still sorta thinks I am, but it's getting easier for me to feel comfortable with how I look now.

I always felt ugly, but it was much worse when I was growing up. I remember being 12 years old with long flowing hair, and still hearing somebody say "is that a boy or a girl?" So at least I know I am fairly androgynous which tends to be ugly in other people's eyes, but not necessarily so.

As I grew older, I started to believe I looked more "normal" and I at least didn't feel freakish. Sure, a little plain, a little hard-faced, but nothing too distracting.

But now I've gone and cut off most of my hair. Apparently long hair, the symbol of my femininity, was the only thing recently letting me pass as a woman. Maybe I need to start wearing dresses, really make it easy for people

I know I don't look really ugly, and even if I did, it's still a much bigger deal that I am terrible with eye contact and talking with people. But yea, it's hard to work on that.

I hate my profile and my big nose, so I always have my hair partially covering my face. Like some kind of emo kid! ( but I'm not emo , I promise ...)
I wouldn't call myself hideously ugly, but I'm definitely not attractive by any stretch of the imagination.

the exact same thing happened to me!
