Feeling unattractive?

Try to figure out what is making you feel this way...
Social or other media? Maybe time for a little break from the edited, airbrushed "ideals".
There is something about you that is unique and wonderful. If you nurture that, your supposed physical imperfections will seem remote. Are you treating yourself well?
Also, I've found volunteering to be really helpful for shifting my perspective.2 -
I have my days, that's for sure. I'm a work in progress after my separation. I'm very worn down from doing everything by myself. I'm hoping in a few months, our divorce will be finalized, and I'll be in a routine & can start putting some effort into my looks & drop this nagging 20lbs. Maybe even start dating again.2

Just know this beauty is not about the outward appearance . Your kindness , your generosity, or your curiosity.The willingness to reach out, to touch , to stop someone's tears. The will to make some one laugh . To be the shoulder, and the ear . To listen, to cry , to breathe, to fight, and to dream .These things are someone's true beauty . There fore if you do one kind thing you are the prettiest person in the world. The will to try, dream,question, and push forward also make people beautiful. Social media does not tell you that .
Yes even I do. Sometimes I fall into that pot..

When you grow up seeing/hearing nothing but criticism by family members....of themselves, you, perfect strangers.....you get real comfortable with the idea that even if you were a supermodel, you'd never be good enough.

It took a while before my inside matched my outside. I kept seeing the "old me" even though I was looking at something very different in the mirror. Give it time and patience.6

Some days! I think it's a matter of who knows. But some days I feel as beautiful as can be and others, ugh just can't grasp pretty.0

For me, its stomachs3 -
Yep I'm ugly, but it doesn't really matter. Lots of others things more important2

nothing is more important than looks. Outlook, anyway. Outlook on life; outlook on love; outlook on fitness.
I am pretty cute sometimes. But my body still causes me convulsions when I see it. I think there's no way a woman would or could ever be actually turned on by seeing it. It's stupid of me, and makes a lover into a liar - my thoughts make her a liar when she says she thinks I'm hot.
I am broken but I am not beaten. As my body takes shape - more importantly, as my mind gets more-fit - everything else won't matter so much.
But...after I'm done worrying about my looks, I'll probably think my car sucks.9 -

Do you believe his unresponsiveness has nothing to do with you? Do you suspect he has is own issues which you cannot heal? That kinda thing?3 -
He said he's not attracted to me, never has been. Confidence at an all time low. Anyway, sorry for getting personal, the thread just hit a nerve!0

Okay Bear. What are your options now? Lay them out and pick one and hang on tightly. Don't lose yourself. When you start to believe you're unattractive because a spouse says so you will have a literal emotional grave to dig-out-of. At least you will if you're like me. I am still 3' down. But I've progressed 3'7

Was this the same husband that was asexual?0
