False? Real?

[factboy01]

Istill continue to get these extreme, intense feelings that I'm ugly. Ihate it. It's to the point Idon'tbelieve when people tell me I'm good looking, Itell them they're lying or just think they're saying it to make me feel better about me being ugly.

Chances are, they're telling you the truth. A huge amount of people have trouble seeing their strengths, but seeing strengths in others comes much easier. You just have to trust other people. That's what my friend told me, and she's right. Most people don't think they're the goddamn sexiest person in the world. A lot of people act like they think that as well, when really they don't, so that total is much smaller than you'd even think.

I think I'm ugly. I hate how I look. But I've grown to accept the compliments, even if I don't agree with it at least. I know that when I tell my friends that they're gorgeous, they might not agree. It's a depressingly large chunk of people who don't realize their true beauty. But everyone's good-looking. People just have different perceptions of what good-looking means.

I'm going to be cliche for a moment and say, "It's what's inside that counts anyway." Because that's fucking correct. Looks will get you nowhere. You might get flirted with more often, but the majority of adult women looking to settle down with a husband are not going to pick a good-looking jerk over a nice, genuine, patriarch. I sure wouldn't. In fact, I'm married to a guy, but I'm much more into girls than I am guys. I chose him because of his personality, the emotional attraction. If there's an emotional attraction, the physical attraction will take care of itself. I know you might be far from that point, but the future is always a bright aspect to look at.
