In reply to the discussion: The Constant Pain Of Being Ugly. [View all]TexasMommaWithAHat
(3,212 posts)36. Not everyone has the gift of beauty
or even the gift of average looks.
The funny thing is, though, that people whom we once thought unattractive in appearance get better looking as we get to know them. I think this has even been studied scientifically. No, a homely man is not suddenly going to morph into Brad Pitt in my eyes just because I get to know him, but he will become more appealing in looks to me because I have gotten to know him on the inside.
I'm very sorry you are depressed, but if your appearance is the main cause of your depression, there is hope. Let people get to know you. You seem like a very kind and sincere person, and I know there are people in this world who will appreciate you for whom you are.
My best wishes for you.

A video by a woman called "the world's ugliest woman." I think you'll love her. I know I do.

One is not ugly if they are beautiful on the inside. That is all that counts.

We're social creatures. It is difficult to love yourself despite hate from elsewhere.
