I get the "good looking" and "handsome" comments from various people, and I tend to believe them, because I see the same thing when looking at myself in the mirror.

we tend to be attracted to our own faces (at least many of us) Cuz we see our own faces all the time so we get used to it.

I've been told things like I'm handsome occasionally from family, mom's friends, my work friends, & a few people I had business dealings with. I don't pay much mind to them because they could just be saying it to be polite or something. I would of cared alot more if I would of heard that from single women I knew.

You are almost '10' in the looks department (especially after losing your extra weight), I think most people are being honest with you in that regard.

Thanks, but I'm not. Most of the time I look a mess with untidy hair etc chubby in the wrong places and I'm not happy with what I look like at all.

Actually you had people telling you multiple times you are good looking. OK, parents might not be very objective, but people in the workplace? Whats in it for them if they supposedly give you a fake compliment? Unless they ask you to do their work afterwards:)
I'd say people often have this wrong view towards their own looks and often imagine themselves somewhat worse. Whereas any person, who has a quite symmetric face will unconsciously be perceived as attractive. Maybe not on the model-level, but a nice looking one. And if you take some measures to improve what you already have, such as work-outs, a good haircut, simple yet stylish outfits, taking care of your skin, teeth and nails, you've done everything whats in your will. The next thing you'll have to do is just be confident - just don't compare yourself to other people.

No idea here. Never been called ugly, though, and even a few girls who've hated my personality have told me that at least I have the looks.

It depends. Some people do say it because it is what they do do see but some are saying it just to take some attention.

The only people that say I'm good looking are guys, kids, someone's mother, family members, or old ladies.

It would be nice if I could get young women my age to say it. Otherwise, I'm starting to doubt whether people are telling the truth

I do feel a lot lie about my looks as a desperate hope to get me to feel better.

You're not ugly, though. I know one more voice isn't going to change how you feel about yourself, but just thought I'd put that out there.
