Do you wish you were better looking?

[Parnate]

I am 33 years old man, and while many people have appreciated my appearance in my prime. I still feel and wish I was better looking. I have lost my looks due to hair loss and weight gain but still even while i was in my prime I felt not so good. During teenage Many of my friends made fun of my large head , and yes childhood abuse never let me feel good enough. I wish I was stunning, someone that people would not take their eyes off. I am so insecure and uncomfortable with the way I look, I doubt if I can ever accept my appearance.

 

[nayomi]

you can be bold and handsome so i dont see an issue.
i guess weight gain some people like, you can get rid of it pretty easily

 

[LRkin]

Who doesn't wish to be better looking, though?

 

[suncide10]

I used to think I am ugly. I don't think I'm pretty, just average. And I know what I should do to look much better. My main complex is my voice and enunciation. I sturggle to speak fast and clearly, I can't even pronounce some letters which makes people annoyed sometimes.

 

[Endstati0n]

Being ugly makes me want to ctb more and that's a good thing

 

[Forveleth]

No. I used to get teased for my looks and was very depressed over what I looked like. Then I realized my life would be much better if I stopped caring what everyone else thought about me, so I did. I accepted there were some things I could not change about myself and worked on the things I could. Also, I am going to fall apart as I age and that is just life.

 

[Aflame5926]

somehow i think it would be bad for me. im scared to become a narcisst to be honest if i would be smoking hot.
if its just a little it wouldnt change a thing for me through.

 

[dirkw83]

Yeah kinda I transitioned then detransitioned and my face has some lasting effects from the hormones I look kind of unfortunate now but no big deal I'm old anyways.

 

[hughmun9]

my looks are fine, it's my personality that I wish was 'better'

 

[suimaxxer]

yeah, i think everyone wishes they were better looking to an extent, but i definitely care more than others about it

 

[kleinerbäcker7814]

probably yeah, its maybe the reason the love of my life cheated on me

 

[Canto XIII]

It wouldn't change my life because I would still be the same person at a fundamental level, but I'd be lying if I said I don't think about this a lot.

I often get told I look much younger than I actually am. I've been told I look 13-14 or even younger despite being 18. I wish I looked different cus no one besides weird creeps is attracted to or wants to date someone that looks so young.

To quote Mitski, I've been big and small and I've done everything with my appearance but none of them leads to anything (neither more good friends, nor jobs, nor lovers). Now I can't care less.

 

[TheEndof]

My problem isn't necessarily that I think I am ugly. I don't wish I was better looking, I just wish I looked different. I have very distinct features and I wish I blended in more and had more conventionally attractive beauty.

 

[passthisnote]

yes i'm 19 and i don't really like how i look that's y i never show my face online to anyone

 

[mars2027]

Yup. Pretty privilege is a real thing. If I was really good looking, I'd take advantage of it to make my life easier.
