>>10063Not caring about what others think is pretty easy to accomplish - the hard part is YOU being unhappy with how you are, disgusted, wanting to change every day because looking at yourself makes you feel bad. Not living up to your own standards is hell. I could never forgive myself if I got fat.

>>10065well anon mentioned it hurts going out and feel that people judge you by your appearance, but i can't really say anything if the person
itself doesn't like his own physical appearance…
No.10068
Unfortunately, you have to do something about the way you look every so often. Granted, you don't have to care about what the general public thinks, but life consists of rare opportunities that warrant you to be well groomed and clothed at that one specific time and place, sometimes when you least expect it. Trust me, you don't want to go around looking like some clueless, self-righteous dork, it opens you up to bullying and missed opportunities.

At least nobody who's posted in this thread yet has gender problems =D, you at least all get the luck of being recognized as the correct gender. Most of my social interaction is pointless when nobody can tell what gender I am, making new friends becomes about this or that a lot of the time and not really about me or them.
Why bother?
No.10093
>>10079i've already abandoned the idea of my gender really mattering to me, but I have an aesthetic I prefer and talking to people under the assumption I'm a guy is incredibly awkward because I look so androgynous. Mean people assume the worst, you know? At least if they think I'm female I'm in the clear to not anger anyone.

I don't particularly care about my physical appearance outside of basic hygiene and maintenance (shaving, washing my face, etc). I've been cursed with an endless case of acne ever since I hit puberty, and while washing my face with a hot washcloth followed by a cold rinse has helped considerably, the pimples always come back.
Outside of that, I've been told that I'm decent-looking, but I don't particularly care to look at myself either way.
>>10072While my sex is fairly obvious IRL, it's apparently rather ambiguous based purely on my personality and writing style. As I don't identify with any gender, I don't mind when people misidentify me one way or another.
Either way, I'm sorry that you have to deal with that. You shouldn't give up, however, on finding an understanding and supportive friend. They're out there, I assure you. At the very least, if you have trouble finding someone IRL, you can certainly find somebody online.
No.10114
Sometimes after shaving I look in the mirror and think "wow, I look good, I should post a picture myself on the Internet" then I remember how stupid of an idea that is and I feel bad for thinking it.

>>10122>Sometimes I wish I had anorexia or I could do meth and lose weight that way without any bad consequences>I wish I had anorexia>do meth>without any bad consequencesOh, anon, if only that was possible in this universe. Both lead to more suffering and possibly dying. I'd rather be fat. You can change being fat but you can't change being dead.
Tapeworms can kill you as well. It's pretty ridiculous and heart-crushing to know that there are people who eat them in order to feel happy about themselves.

Concerning fat people i always held a bias against them because i precived it mostly as them letting themselfs go too much and just generally being too hedonistic.
Well i guess some people are victims of conditions tough.
The only visual insecurity i have is my teeth. I didnt and still dont brush them as well as i should, they are a bit yellow.
They also seem to start rotting in the back and i dont want to go to a dentist.
Then again they probably arent half as bad as i think and given i dont smile or talk often it shouldnt even really matter.
Also looks in guys are overrated, im looking really great and still am a total loser.
I hope you guys dont get given shit for not looking so good.
No.10138
It no longer bothers me. I honestly couldn't give less of a shit anymore. People have told me I'm ugly my whole life so I've just come to accept the fact. I don't desire to be accepted as "handsome" because it's a trivial title that does nothing for you.

>>10155You're young and the scars will likely heal in time. Don't wait til you start looking like the moon to visit a dermatologist. If you do, avoid the antibiotics and ask about isotretinoin. That stuff worked like magic for me.
No.10430
I don't mean to sound like a cocky asshole, but I think I'm pretty cute, and have always been told so. But never handsome. I don't go out of my way to sleep with men/women but it's always either 8+/10 or "ew". Pretty frustrating. I love everything about my body except for my face, if I open my mouth a bit or suck in my jaw-line/face is pretty attractive, but to me it seems kind of blocky/gross if I don't. That along with my acne really irks me, although acne is starting to fade with accutane.
>>10124Anorexia isn't that great, I wouldn't say it's extremely bad either, but that's just from my experience. For me it gets worse at times, but I've gotten used to being hungry, and generally only eat a meal or two a day. Struggled with bulimia a while because I wanted to lose weight and shave the annoying baby chub on my cheeks. Recently dropped from 127-114 in the past month and a half or so. A guy though, by the way.

>>10138>"handsome" because it's a trivial title that does nothing for you.It's good that you don't care about your looks, but being physically attractive is probably one of the most useful boons a person can be born with. It makes EVERYTHING, including finding work and making friends, much, much easier, whether you like it or not. It's not about being shallow, it's about being more immediately approachable.
No.10433
yea i've had some self esteem problems with looks etc(acne since 11, been on roaccutane for a year or 2 i think). that kinda broke nay confidence I had at the time. Now its more of a social problem.

You will still need quite some social skill and confidence to get results of that kind of conversation.

No.10481
Looks shouldn't matter and looks don't matter are two very different statements. Even outside of romance, its been shown in many studies that in everyday life better looking people are treated better by people, are more likely to pass job interviews, ect.
Its a real deficit, but there is no purpose to dwelling on it since its not that changeable. I'm below average but its not really a factor in my life anymore, I'm sure it has the above impacts to a degree but not so much that I'd notice. You've got to really be on the edge of the bell curve one way or the other, I think, for the impacts to be super noticeable on your daily life.

Looks matter mostly only for females, for men you could look like shit and still win at life and same for the other way round.
No.10489
>>10488I disagree. Looks matter for guys too. Not to the same extent as to females perhaps, but if you are ugly - actually ugly - self esteem is going to suffer because people treat you more harshly, and the earlier the ugliness begins [you were born like that vs you got fat when you turned 20] the more harsh the damage is. Not to mention being rejected and bitter by the other sex.
No.10504
>>10489Looks matter for everyone, it's simple: The better you look, the better you are treated, in general. Unless you have a terribly twisted personality, you are much more approachable, and people see you as more human.

Im handsome and i hate myself for it, i should be ugly so that i look like my personality.
I thought about burning my face with acid or something.
Ofcourse i wouldnt do it simply because its pointless anyway.
It would also make people not try to motivate me, it should be obvious to them that im not good.
