Does anyone else feel ugly like me? I don't know why did I have to be born this way. I am so deformed. I don't even feel human.

I could lose a bit of weight, which I am doing, but no, I don't feel like I am ugly, I never have.

When you say deformed, In what way? In a physical way?

I am indeed ugly....a very ugly one, so much so, everyone picks on me, my "friends", the bus driver, strangers, varsity cleaners, lecturers, tutors...and even god i guess.

I'm very ugly. I don't feel human either. I'm not deformed, I just don't appeal to anyone. I've never really been noticed by anyone.

I have felt very ugly at different points in my life.

At other times, I've felt beautiful!

I know that many, many, MANY people who are actually average or attractive think they are ugly! :-(

This seems to be the result of self-esteem, and not true ugliness. Please remember that TRUE ugly is INSIDE. Real beauty is inside, too!

Mimi, I've never seen you but I think you are lovely on the inside. You are a great, decent human and I care about you! And to me you will NEVER be ugly!!!

SadRabbit: even the bus driver?
lonelygirl: thank you for the kind words. It's not just "feeling ugly", it's a disorder, called BDD. It's very painful. I really hate myself for being such a deformed mutant. Why does it have to be me living inside of this disgusting body? I am sure that this is why I never got a kiss and never had any friends.

mimizu I have never heard of BDD be for so I looked it up. I think your very brave to be coping with that

Like lonelygirl said you come across as wonderfully beautiful caring person on the on hear.

I do think in some ways we get to know ppl better on the net cos where not being so superficial about things. Where allowed to act hewer self's with out fear on hear.

yes I feel ugly cos I have scars all over my body from operation's and have a back that's twisted all over cos my spine is like an "S" shape and some days cert bear to look at it. This is what scoliosis of the spine can do. And I walk with a limp cos I have one leg shorter then the other.

I dont think I'm ugly but I'm very insecure about other things in life. I fear failure, I get discouraged easily and I stress alot. I'm extremely insecure yet it has nothing to do with looks.

Mimi and Bluey,

You guys are very handsome to me!

I don't care about the spinal conditions or what have you.

Your true inner handsome quality shines through!

You are caring, kind, sensitive, and intelligent. You guys rock! Mimi, my sister has BDD. She is very pretty but feels very ugly. I know how painful that can be! Please remember, that your body is only your SHELL for your soul. It's just a husk. It is like a hermit crab's shell. Some might be more shiny or pretty, but the INSIDE is what is REAL!

Hugs hugs hugs!
