ever been told you werent good looking?

I have been told I am ugly because I have red hair and freckles! I just looked at this person in amazement. I had no idea the color of your hair actually makes you ugly in other peoples eyes. I have been self conscious about being a redhead ever since.

always have been the ugly one >.> when i was a kid i was too skinny and then i got older and everyone called me ugly n fat n manly (i was 130lbs probably not fat but back then i believed it) to this day im still the fat one and always get compared to my cousin i hate how my family always says well shes so pretty and soo cute i guess u couldnt wear that

Debra - that is nasty and absolutely horrible. Your husband's aunt has ISSUES. it' not you. and I wish your husband would stand up for you when she does that.

Yes...since I was a little girl. I had a horrible time at school from all the kids and then I would come home and hear it from my mom. Now that i'm married I still hear it from my husband every now and then when he is upset:( I guess thats why I always take photos from a distance and the main reason why i'm trying to lose weight and get in shape. Every holiday at his family's house is my worst holiday. His aunt will catch me getting a plate of food and she will scream in her "degrading voice", "WOW! If anyone wants any food they had better get it now...Debra is in the kitchen". Or she will bring desert and say, " You better hide this from Debra r there won't be none left". My least favorite is..."Matthew Debra must be saving all the food in the house for herself because you are way too skinny".

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!

Sometimes they made barking noises at me.

I got that, too, by some guy that used to ride the bus with me in school. As soon as I got on, he would start and everybody would laugh. I was mortified and completely devastated.

there's no recovering from that, is there?

Not to my face, but I once over heard my great grandma tell my step mom that I "used to be as pretty as a model." Does that count?

You have GOT to be kidding! You are GORGEOUS! Seriously you're beautiful.

Red heads are da bomb. My boyfriend is a ginger, there is nothing more attractive then red hair and freckles (especially on girls)!

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

How the hell are you ugly? You're actually hot to me.. sorry if it coming from a girl bothers you. XD

Plenty of times!

In my late teens I met a guy in school who I thought was neat. He had a different outlook on life than most people in good ol' Wisconsin, and I'm attracted to strong personalities for friends. So he and I became fast friends. He taught me a lot, especially about vegan eating (which is not for me, but something I can appreciate) but I also challenged some of his views. Everything was going fine until one night when we were working late at school on something. I don't remember what was said, I think it was an invitation to do something outside of school. His face fell and there was a long, awkward pause before he told me that he really liked my personality but didn't find me physically attractive. I was hurt, but also confused. I had absolutely no romantic feelings toward him. I simply enjoyed his company as a friend. I told him I had meant it in a platonic way and to f*** off. We spent the next few years being friendly but not friends with each other since we were in the same program and were forced to spend a lot of time together.

That's the time that stands out in my mind because it was the most direct. But my life has been peppered with people not finding me attractive. The nice ones say I'm cute, or sometimes adorable... and that was fine when I was younger but now it feels like a curse. I blame my chubby cheeks and little nose for the "cute" factor. Because my overall body definitely isn't cute. At least not yet. <.<

this will stick with me forever

in 7th grade i had this crush on this boy and of course i couldnt "ask him out" so i had a friend get his opinion of me

he said "she isnt pretty enough"

looking back now i was an idiot for crushing on him he is overweight and partys a lot, but..has a super good job!

but it is inspiration for me to get better and more self confidence in myself

I've never been told outright but I've been made to feel pretty dang ugly. It's a scar I wear.

I went to a private school until 9th grade. I then started HS at the local public school. I never had any problems or comments before then. I remember that one of my good friends in HS had a completely flat stomach. I didn't have a flat stomach but I wasn't fat by any means. I wore a size 6. Her nasty boyfriend called across the lunch room, "Hey, Pot! Hey, Pot Belly!" I had NO IDEA he was talking to me! I could have died!

Then many years later, I started dating a guy who was not thin by any means. We were riding in a smaller car with a friend of his. I was in the backseat and they were up front. We were going over some speed bumps in parking lot and my BF looks over at his friend and says, "I'm not sure we can make it over this speedbump coming up with all that weight in the back." I was 150 lbs wearing a size 10.

He wasn't my BF much longer after that. It hurt and still does.

Remember, when people say mean things to you, they are not really talking about you, they are telling you about themselves. Never ever waste your time on earth with people who are willing to step on your neck to raise their own self-esteem. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have lived a long life and have never met an ugly or unattractive person. I have seen people say and do ugly things. It is best to ask God to bless them and move on.
