I'll admit it, I'm hideous, and thats where you come in

I'm sorry I didn't personalize my thread to your personal liking. While no one else seems to have an issue with it, I'll keep this in mind next time [:

 

speak up..I cant hear you

 

all I seen was title and Pictures.. What you guys talking about ??. ..

 

You made a thread posting pictures of yourself so people can tell you what needs improvement and you can fix it?
You do realize that everyone has different opinions and that if you were to follow everyone's advice you'd look like mr.potatoe head.
You can't be perfect to everyone.
Even in time when you build some confidence and love yourself, there are still going to be people who think you look ugly. Just like there will always be people who think you're beautiful.

I think you need counselling, someone to help you realize this.

 

Girls our age, I'm 16 and I know how natural beauty if almost never found. I truly think those other girls aren't pretty at all. Maybe it's just me.. But I thought I was ugly too for a really long time, Then I realized that comparing myself to something I'm just not makes no sense, and only makes me feel like complete shit.The only way I can really think of to help you not think you're ugly is to not compare your self to something you're not, or to just not to compare yourself to anyone but you. If that make any sense at all.:sunny:

 

Awww--you're a cute little bugger. Quit worrying about it,you're unique. Last thing you want to be is a Barbi-Doll type. Bet you have a sweet personality--and that's what REALLY counts.

 

Two words:

ponytail + bangs = Win!

wait.. that was more than two words, wasn't it?

 

you look cool/adorable to me, but if you don't feel attractive and happy, im guess maybe you try a different hair style, you don't need makeup. And work on building your self esteem.

 

In my experience, teenagers are too saturated with images of pop culture. Those people in pictures and on TV have professional makeup on, and often look ordinary and drab without it. You are definitely cute enough to hug and make conversation with. Self-defeating thoughts are common among young girls, but are not health.

 

Why the FUCK would you want to look like an ordinary teenager anyway? Those guys are pathetic.

In serious answer, firstly, if all you want is to start looking good, it really is true that you don't need to worry and already look nice; you will need to learn some ways to reprogram yourself to accept this. Use affirmations you believe at least a little rather than trying to convince yourself of something you don't really believe (if you can't accept 'I am beautiful as true, maybe 'people like the way I look' is easier to accept.)

If you just want to change your style around then talk to friends with similar physiology. Im skinny with thin hair so I ask people with those features for advice.

In person, confidence is generally good at giving someone the impression of being attractive, above just looks.

 

Who cares? I dont care how i look i care how i feel.

 

You seem like a bright kid but you most probably have problems which are not related to your looks. I had them at your age, too. Sort them out as early as possible.

 

i think you are quite pretty, and you will continue to grow into a beautiful, and perhaps even a gorgeous woman. i gave up trying to be anyone but myself when i was 16/17. i dont wear makeup unless i have to, and if i have to then i have to go out and buy new because my stuff is all expired. you likely do have self esteem issues that should be discussed with a trusted adult, preferably female, HOWEVER please understand that the atmosphere YOU were raised in is different even than mine, only 10 years ahead of you.
being comfortable with who you are is one of the most attractive things you can do.

if i were you, and seeking ways to make myself better/ more attractive to others, i would highlight your gorgeous eyes (i have blue/green eyes, so i cant help as far as color) with a touch of eyeshadow. makeup really isnt great for your skin, so go easy on it. my mom literally has to "put on her face" and she looks totally different between makeup and no makeup. using makeup also adds to your daily regimen, have to get up a little earlier to put it on, have to set aside time to remove it properly or you can get a whole new crop of problems, and your complexion is great, so i would NOT push that envelope far at all.

take care of your skin. use appropriate sunscreens and lotions, and learn what the different parts of lotion do. when i was pregnant i used a collagen elastin lotion, and my stretchmarks where i used it are negligible compared to where i didnt (for future reference, the belly is only the most noticeable stretchy area, my hips and thighs look like i got caught in a shredder, half an inch wide in some places. my belly stretch marks are much thinner, and i had twins.)

the other thing is to find the right brush for your hair type, i have one main brush, and a boars bristle brush, which works better for spreading the oils. i would wash and condition, and i would definitely not use 2-in-1, they serve completely different purposes. i am a longhair though, your hair looks much shorter than mine. if you shower every day skip the hair washing once in awhile, just use water. the natural oils of your scalp are probably all out of whack. i wash my hair every time i shower, but i dont shower often. of course, i dont work, or go to school, and i dont have livestock yet, so i dont really get stinky. i shower at least once a month, usually about once a week. totally unacceptable by modern standards. if my hair gets really greasy, usually in the heat of the summer, or if theres too much shampoo/ conditioner buildup, i strip my hair down with dawn dish soap. if its too dry (i live where desiccating is sometimes a better descriptor than arid) i use more conditioner, or a hot oil treatment. trim split ends.

and learn better vocabulary. hideous is not the word you were looking for. if you feel your looks are 'plain' or 'average' then "homely" might have been better, but what you have is a face that can age with grace. you really are very pretty. i know it can be hard to accept a compliment, but there you go. smile more too, it really lights up your face, and look people in the eye when you are talking AND listening to them, your eyes are lovely. your hair looks like it could use a little help, but thats not your fault, everything tells you to throw a product at it when home remedies can work just fine, once you determine the 'issues' it has. i like tressemee products (both shampoos and conditioners), as well as suave for a stand-alone shampoo, and "mane and tail" for a standalone conditioner. it is beneficial to change them up once in awhile.

good luck sweetie, school is over soon enough

 

You're not THAT hideous.

 

i dont know rather to say you're really dumb or ignorant. well after all both go hand and hand. right in your title you are complaining.

asking strangers rather...if you're pretty or not, is a desperate cry for help. you might as well go to the street and ask people there.

seeking approval is bad. especially when it involves your looks. i know you're young and dumb but take notice NOW before youre 30 and still asking people if youre pretty.

cheer up, here's a funny talking dog.

 

you a re pretty

 

thanks, but we're talking about riley.

 

I read this in of all magazines, Cosmo, and I only bought because Olivia Wilde was on the cover and I think she is beautiful. That being said, she said the following: "We are at our sexiest when we feel the most confident. We are at our least attractive when we are sure of our inadequacies and practically cave in on ourselves to concel them. No matter how incredible your lover swears you look, there is no way you're getting hot and bothered when you feel fatter than the manatee they found in the Hudson River. We all handicap ourselves with insecurity, and it's up to us to reset the self worth scale and alter the message we send to the world." (April 2011)

That being said, she also says: "With that said, how do we remind ourselves of our fabulousness without letting our self-doubt and criticism of others drag us down? We wear heals. We get waxed. We do things that make us attractive to ourselves and, therefore, able to allow others to do the same."

Go to MAC or some of the other makeup counters and get free makeovers. Look at pics of hairstyles, try one on. Try different clothing styles that make you feel confident.

Remember, the models you see are photoshopped and they have loads of makeup on, and it is their job to look a certain way.

Lastly, smile and be yourself, it's the easiest way to be beautiful in your own eyes and others.

Good luck!

 

I used to think I wasn't "normal" looking and came to the decision that none of us are normal looking. Normal for you IS you, normal for me IS me.You have to come to accept that before anything you ever try doing will change your self image. However, if you find the things you do like and accentuate them and you may feel a little better ie) like your brown eyes add a light coat of purple eye shadow to make them pop, like your cheekbones (you have nice defined ones) add a little highlighting blush. I don't think cosmetics will fix your problem though, once you find a look you like you'll be afraid to be seen without them, and believe me that sucks too.
