ever been told you werent good looking?

I'm only told I'm sexy/beautiful/pretty when someone wants a booty call.

been there!!!

@DeeJTj.......shes not worth knowing, so keep her on the lock off. She showed her true self. And you look good to me....

I've never been told I was ugly. However, I have been told multiple times that I have such a pretty face and if I would just lose some weight I would be beautiful. I am often called cute. Only two people in my life have ever told me I'm beautiful. My mom and a really good guy friend. My boyfriend thinks I'm pretty though so that's all that matters to me. Honestly one of the small reasons I started this journey was so I wasn't the fat friend anymore...

Thanks for posting this. I've been the idiot before that has called someone ugly. It usually happens when I want to distance myself from someone. Obviously, for every person I thought was "ugly" there really was someone else out there that thought they were hot stuff. I can think of three guys off the top of my head that I find utterly unattractive, but each one of them has a gorgeous woman that finds him to be the hottest guy ever.

I have been told over the years both pretty and ugly comments. In high school, everyone said I was a "dirty scrub." More recently, the ugly comments are more along the lines of "are you pregnant?" I have also gotten lots of pretty comments though. My hair seems to be popular, but even then, when I was a child I got "I'd rather be dead than red in the head" comments all time. I get a lot of comments about my skin, both good and bad. My face shows very openly whether or not I feel healthy. I try to wear makeup so that it's more consistent, but somehow everyone can figure out when I look tired or sick. It's like my pale skin turns gray or something.

I could probably go on and on all day about every nice or horrible thing anyone has said to me, but the moral of the story is that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. It is incredibly subjective. I hope that each of us can find the people that think we are beautiful and keep them close. Disregard what anyone else has to say.

I look the way I look as a result of what I want to do. I think I might grow my hair longer because everyone seems to like that, and I try not to wear holey or ill fitting clothes, but otherwise, I do what I want and I don't care what others have to say about it.

when i used to be chubby they said i was cute now that i workout and look like i workout they say you look hot.

Hmmm . Simple answer to that. The booty store is closed for renovation.

My mom tells me I'm a "diamond in the rough" - I think she means it as a compliment/motivator, but I just think "why am I in the rough?"

I'm very not a looker - got a funny face and not in a good way. Plus I'm fat - ugly and fat is a bad combination! (The fat thing is changing though, one kilo down and only about a billion to go.)

BUT I'm nice, I'm friendly, I can sometimes throw out a good joke or two, and I'm lucky enough to be around people who value character above appearance. Some insults were thrown my way as a young'un, but nothing that I really took to heart. Now if I get any comments it's on my good qualities. I have quite a robust little self-esteem!

Im not very fat but i have been told my weight is a problem for some guys. ALso i have a health condition called strabismus that occurs when i intensely exercise or stress my body. i had surgery to fix it and yes people treated me like i was more of a person. When the lazy eye crops up people just want to laugh and taunt or not meet me in the eyes.

Yup. All the time. I'm ugly. Sad but true. Oh well, I guess.That's why I settled for the loser I'm married to and spend everyday miserable. I let other peoples opinions define my life. Want to see what I look like? There's another pic in my profile. Enjoy.

Yeah I looked at your pic. Stop telling yourself this, because you're not!

I've been told I wasn't good looking since we all had to watch that horrible video about the chances in our body. Purberty is a horrible thing. I'm still getting the "ugly girl" looks from people.

I was hanging out with one of my chick friends and her sister and realized I'M THE UGLY FRIEND! Same thing happened when I was a little younger and with my cousins. I was the ugly duckling of the group Guys say I'm "hot" just to see how far I would go. I just laugh and tell them "yeah I'm more like luke warm"

I'm sad now all over again

Ugh, people are such freaking jerks, like the other's said NOT ugly you are beautiful! Only time someone called me ugly wasn't to my face there was this guy that was mutual friend's with a lot of my friend's they were at a bar one night (I wasn't there) when one of them found out I was roommates with one the girl's he went off on this ridiculous tangent about how I was ugly, loud, and obnoxious, thankfully I have awesome friend's who didn't take his crap, but it really hurt my feelings! I never did anything to this kid and it was hurtful I must admit, but I learned to shrug it off because he's just a worthless hater!

Once... when I was around 13. It was gym class, I was sweating... my hair was a mess. I was chubby and short then... so that day, I didn't look the best. A kid was like, you know you're ugly? Ew. Look at you! I took it hard at first, but you learn to laugh it off eventually. Looking back, it's quite funny! I couldn't care less what people have to say about me. I look good in my own right and will live confident. Plus I'm in the best shape of my life!

There's no way you are the "ugly friend", you're beautiful.

I second this

Sounds to me like your "friend" has a thing for you, she just went about it in a very rude, immature, and hurtful way. You're a really nice looking guy, so don't let what she said get to you because comments like that can demolish a person's self-esteem (been there/done that). I'd definitely weed out negative people like her from my life if I were you.

At the wedding reception for my first marriage, a woman came up to my new MIL and said, "Oh, have you met Shelby? (Shelby is my sister) She's the pretty one!"

I can laugh now, but at the time, it really hurt. :explode:
