Do you care how you look?

I don't, I love being a girl but I really do hate how I look. I can't really explain it. Is this just me or are you girls the same?
I have the same problem. I rarely take photos because I am upset with how I look, the shape of my nose and face and chin repulse me, and it’s upsetting. I must have some form of body dysmorphia. I really think I’m ugly, all of my features are extreme. I don’t have a small cute nose or cute round eyes. My forhead is weird and my neck looks like it’s been squeezed through a piping bag.
Some “ugly” you can fix or hide, this ugly you can’t.
It might be to do with copping a lot of abuse for my looks in life.
I also don’t wear any makeup 99% of the time and old clothes. I’ve stopped trying.
Hale_bopp, I haven't seen a post from you for a long time but I'm glad to run into you. I've always liked you. I don't wear make-up or good clothes either. Although I do dress up as far as 'respectable' if I'm going to the bank or something. That's rare - I don't try to impress the ATM!

I think something to put with a question about looks would be "Does it matter?" For me, mostly no. Although I used to be obsessed with it. I remember the day I wore only one earring to the library and watched to see how people would be aghast. Nobody noticed. That was a good beginning. Although I'm still afraid to go out.
May 2019 be better to you!

Hey girl.

I go to banks wearing leggings with holes in them.

To me it matters, because I feel like I have little else to offer the world. My boss, friends and family hit their heads on the wall saying it’s not true, I guess my goal is to learn to like myself and then I will be more likeable to others.
My journey, I guess.

But that's exactly the whole point! What do you owe the world? Nothing. Zip. Nada. Emancipate yourself!
