Do you feel unattractive?

Post Reply New Topic

Over time my self image faded away. I used to not think about looks that often. Now I think about my image a lot. My female friends assure me that there is nothing wrong with my appearance, but I think there are minor flaws keeping me from the type of women I desire. Fortunately, I have the resources to hammer out the flaws this summer and I shall see where that leads me.

One like this:

I feel extremely unattractive. It helps that people tell me I'm good looking, and I've lost the weight I was gaining, started getting muscles, but sometimes when I'm feeling down, the feelings of utter ugliness and undesirability come back with a vengeance.

First, I have no way to gauge whether I am physically attractive or not to others. I cannot tell & I do not know my sexuality at all (characteristics of mine in this area confuse me).

To myself I am (...attractive):

1. Physically: No (even though I am thin & try to exercise/got "blessed" w/ a naturally crappy figure)
2. Emotionally: No (immature & sensory issues)
3. Mentally: I have no idea (I have been told I seem smart, but I have odd interests/habits)
4. General Personality: Most likely no

I would guess I am unattractive all around.
p.s. comment about figure is I like proportional things/looks (aka NOT ME at all)

No like this....

sadly for me all those are yes

Sometimes. I used to think I wasn't pretty but men kept telling me online I am and when I was 15, even my old friend with Down's syndrome told me I am very pretty. I sometimes feel fat but everyone tells me I'm very thin, even doctors say it too.

Physically: Nah (pretty parents)
Emotionally: Somewhat (ASD)
Mentally/Personality: Nah (interpersonally, I'm different than how I appear in the open)
Trappings: Yep (I'm a very simple and humble man who lives with his mother)
Intellectually: Nah (I, with rational discourse and logical induction and deduction, can discuss anything someone can bring up)

Nup, not in any way. Due to my experiance with other peoples opinions, it changed how I thought about myself. Though most people don't know I have AS, they just go "Are you stupid or wat?" or something like that. I seriously can't imagine myself saying "I'm sexy" or "I look hot", I hate how I look, but I forget about that. I have a life to run, and that's that.

u r only thirteen! you have not even had your teenage growth spurt. better things are ahead of you!! !

I also have a thing for short, chubby & weird girls.

From what you're saying, you're probably my dream girl.

Yes.

I just tried to make that face and it makes me look even more unattractive...


I think I'll stick to me spazz-face

Yes, unattractive in every way.

I cannot speak for the other sex's opinion on me though.
Especially because each individual opinion will be different from the other. One will like me, the other won't.
Right now I'm not too worried about that though.

I've always felt unattractive, my self esteem was never good either. One of my biggest concerns is with my teeth, they're not rotting or anything but I could seriously do with getting them straightened. About 3 years ago I was feeling really down after someone online told me I was ugly and I ended up posting a pic of myself on another forum asking if I was. The reponses I got were resoundingly positive so since then I don't feel as unattractive as I used to. It was probably a strange thing to do but I did make a friend out of it so it wasn't all bad. But someone did take my post and pic and reposted it word for word on another forum, thankfully he was caught, that creeped me out!

I'm beautiful...
