7 years without a single friend.

I think i am too ugly, so nobody wants to be my friend. they feel ashamed over how i look. i would drag down their social status.

instead of me, they can be friend with someone who look good.

not a single person in this world would want to be my friend.

i kind of consider myself ugly but i know other people don't and i still don't have any friends.

I'd second that. I have, however, noticed that at university, all the attractive guys sit in one area whereas the guys who many would deem as physically unappealing sit on the opposite side. I'm sure it doesn't indicate anything but it's intriguing nevertheless.

If people won't be your friend because of how you look, find better people. Trust me, in my experience, nobody cares how ugly their friends are, unless it's an ugly personality. In fact, some people probably like to be friends with people who aren't as attractive as they are, to make themselves look better.

There is no such thing as too ugly for friends. If someone doesn't want to be your friend because of your physical appearance they would never have been real friends to begin with and are lucky not to have them in your life.
I have compared myself to others and almost no one is as ugly as i am.

And i have no social skills. Cant even talk to people online.

How can someone like me get a friend? Why would anyone want to be my friend?

It not your looks it your social skills/anxiety that stops you from making friends
I am in the same boat as you i would say i am about a 3-4 but i have mono brow that you can only see close up cant be bothered shaving/waxing it if i did i might be a 5-6 i have had two guys i work with invite me out to clubs (they have quit now) i said no every time so it my fault i dont have friends and all i can talk about is cars non stop so i get borring and annoying very fast

What makes you think you're ugly? Have you actually gotten comments on your appearance? If not, it could be something else like the vibe you give out.

I suffer form this problem though. I get stared at and gawked at due to my asymmetrical facial features; but every now and then some people are kind to me. When that happens, it's like :crying:

Please try not to feel that way, it simply isn't true. Trust me, any decent friend worth their salt doesn't value a friendship on what someone looks like, looks should be completely irrelevant in that sort of relationship. And if someone is willing to judge a friendship on someone's looks, then quite frankly, these kind of people aren't even worth giving the time of day. You don't need that **** in your life. A true friendship is based on trust, acceptance and mutual respect.

What.All kinds of people have friends-whether they're fat,poor,nerdy,etc.Please look around in your surroundings...The guy on this thread who replied with 'needing social skills' hit the nail on the head.
Indeed.

But i have several flaws. Im not just ugly, i am really really ugly. People always make fun of me, even on this site someone made fun of my looks becuse of how skinny i am.

I'm not particularly good looking either, and I've felt that it does put me at somewhat of a disadvantage.

With that said, I think being socially inept is a much greater setback for me than my looks. Maybe my personality too. Luckily it's something that I can fix overtime, while my looks are more or less the same :(

It's pretty hard to comment on your situation though, since I don't know what you look like :stu

Every guy can look decent if he wants to. U just have to "work" a little bit on yourself. If u are fat, lose weight. If u are very thin, start working out. If your hair is ugly, do something about it! It is that simple

If u complain about it, u'll never look better. Don't say: "I am ugly".

Btw I have a friend who is ugly as ****. And I don't feel embarrassed around him. I actually like him cause he is very very funny. He always goes out with us...

Being ugly is a major hindrance in general social interaction. It is very difficult to be "confident" etc when people are doing their best to shut down any conversation you try to have with them. I had that exact experience all through high school and freshman year of college in 2014. Now that my looks have improved, my socially stunted personality remains, and keeps people away.
