    Unfortunately, no, not at all. I have some self esteem issues and believe myself to be very unattractive. Especially because of being over weight.

    There are very few days that I wake up feeling attractive. And even on those days it doesn't last too long. As soon as I have to go anywhere or I see beautiful women on TV, that feeling is completely ruined.
    It's like were the same person.

    A very kind MFPer sent me a message after I posted on here and they had a very good point.

    I don't feel attractive. When I get compliments from people - and I have to admit in all honesty that I do get compliments on my appearance pretty regularly - I have a habit of thinking that they must need glasses or that they are biased or they must just be comparing me to how I looked 100 pounds heavier when of course I'm better looking now than I was then, but that's not saying a lot.

    But then, like I said, someone sent me a message after reading my post and, after telling me that they thought I was beautiful, they added this:

    I am a child of God, and God doesn't make junk.

    It's true. I am "wonderfully and fearfully made" and that means that - pointy chin, small mouth, freckled skin and all - I am beautiful. And so are you - ALL of you.

    Just wanted to say that I have the same reaction when I get compliments. It has been suggested to me that I could have BDD.

    When I ever get compliments from anyone I always think they are just saying what they think I want to hear. Because the "me" they see and the "me I see, are totally different

    Yes, totally! That is exactly how I feel. I think it`s pretty frustrating for people. LOL I also obsess over appearance and think about it way more often than what is normal.
    I have read about BDD and think I definitely have it. I will eventually go and talk to someone about it. Can`t live this way forever. :)

    I think we tend to be MUCH too critical on ourselves... I did end up getting married to an absolutly gorgeous woman (im sooo lucky!) .... im a firm believer in the saying "love is blind" cause she truly must be to have agreed to marry my ugly mug LOL

    I think I am probably a little below average in the looks department. I am super smart though, so I am good with that.
