Seeing Myself As Ugly: What Body Dysmorphia Feels Like 

Same here I am terrified of photos

Yup. I know that feeling.

Reading this comment ... wow ... i didn't think there would be other people out there who are exactly like me in this situation. In the moment you see that picture and realize how ugly you are. I die everytime from the inside ...

One of my friends (I dont like calling or referring to her as a friend bc shes never done anything to deserve that title for me) made a whole album of pictures of me (it's the type of pics when you dont give someone your permission to take a picture of you.) I remember the day she told me about the album after school, I was crying and felt mad/annoyed at her. I remember being in such a bad mood and it bothered me so much. I told her to delete them and she didnt. I dont have the condition btw it's just I hate the fact that she has over 100 pictures of me showing my early teen stages to my older teen stages and I cringe at how chubby I am in the pics and my ugliness. It ruins my day seeing pictures of me aswell ugh :(

Same😫

Yea people do that so it’s hard to know, you can only trust yourself

Same. I just avoid people now

I know. I believe this thoughts are because I'm going through my teenage years and I really hope I eventually stop having these thoughts.

Same 😭

@@memshinlamed9079 don't come here and call people that word. you're a bad boy! bad!

Yessss and acne too 😔 What ppl didn't understand when I had social anxiety is that I'm not afraid of being ugly, I'm afraid of being ridiculous bc of my ugliness

@@luciletepeeu3076 worst of all, I was used to it. When people would mistreat me, I let it happen because I thought it was normal. I was desensitized to it. I love COVID because it taught me a lot. I got to learn about myself more.

I have the same as you

body dismorphia and social anxiety= Hell

Same ofcc

Is that you in your profile picture? If so, I think you have a beautiful smile and I love your hair. 💖 I compare myself to other girls too, it really hurts inside.

Chris Torres thank you so much this is literally the nicest thing someone has ever said to me

@@idontwannatalkaboutit8660 Really? Maybe people are too shy to speak up.

it or telling me that's u in ur pfp!? Gurl embrace that beauty becuase you are! Dont let anyone else bring u down ❤ we only live once so make the most of it 😉💕

Girl you are incredibly pretty

I do

Same ppl be judging others and i told my friend idk if it makes since cause it like a skeleton judging another skeleton.. Like what skeleton look better

Courteney Campbell join the ride

You have to learn to ACCEPT YOURSELF and LOVE YOURSELF .You are PERFECT the way you are! 💜💜💖

If only there was a switch to turn off these thoughts and feelings.

Mr. Roshi We all are

Frozen gamer no Im not

i felt this

I'm ugly too

Mr. Roshi No,you are not. Trust me

Like me haha I’m so ugly when people see me they are surprised you can see it in their eyes. It’s great.

Exactly, they just agree if you call yourself ugly

Yup and the worst part is when your "friends" joke about it like "Do u rlly have a mirror im ur house? Do u not see what u always look like?" and then people would laugh so i just join them... Rlly great isn't it? 😊

@Telive Qwenton Alot? Good grammar matters even more.

I’ve had guys tell me that they couldn’t date me because I looked like a naked mole rat without makeup. And I also remember genuine pretty people would say “ I’m so ugly” and people would rush to them and comfort them, but when I said “I’m ugly” they just say same

Yes,we do

But nobody is. Not one.

@@Abr022575 not true

@@Abr022575 how is no one beautiful?

@@iamamultimillionaire6299 what people usually call "beautiful" is based on the beauty standard that society has created. We grow with these beauty standards and we are shown that, on ly people who look a certain way are beautiful. But in reality, "beauty" is subjective, because one person may think someone is really pretty and another person may think the opposite. Wich does not mean one is right and the other is wrong. So technically no one is "beautiful" because that is not a fact, it's just an opinion.

Me too...💔

Me tooo

Me too 💔💔

You do

this...

It's TRUE. Cause it's like deases. It's big problem

Maybe they can just adopt children they feel look better than them I was honestly thinking about doing the same

Holly Fogarty I might do the same thing

there are a lot of super models in the world who have parents with questionable looks. So it can go both ways depending on what genes comes together, and usually it doesn't even matter.

I did the same. Pretty often decision.

Hey

I hate my side profile and even though I know people aren’t, I always feel like people are judging me for everything

same but i want someone to jump me because im so ugly

@@charismamina8461 ugly plus social anxiety =hell

@@charismamina8461 What life have teached to me is: the label "you are ugly" is too easily given and often falsely given also. Our judgments should always be: John 7:24 KJV Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Lets analyze the judgment "you are ugly" - 1stly it is judgment towards a being, This world sees females as sex toys not as human beings. If the real you ain+t known, then there is nobody to judge. 2ndly - it is judgment towards appearances, we all age every second, what is therefore there truly judge? and what John 7: 24 says? And have we forgotten who we are? DUST, we are dust, directly formed from it. Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And to be hurt or not about others opinions = false judgment, about you, you 1st make sure you know from where they take their “judgment”. Often and by many it is taken from movies, from magazines, from hollywood. Well, lets hurt everyone a little more, Hollywood club is filled with “transgender's” who even shave off their own bone anatomy. And normal human with sober mind should not find any living soul “attractive” or we`d be paedophiles, are you? Being single gives us the full freedom to get right with GOD, to build into existence once lost relationship, between GOD and creation, between PARENT and child. 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 KJV 32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. this world presents love as lust, and if you`re not always touched, then you are not loved = lies and fear propaganda. All of it because the MK ULTRA PROJECTS from masons. John 15:13 KJV Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. And being ALONE (not on your own) does bring forth sober mind. What I have witness in my short life so far is, souls get together for money and because they are bored and the 3th reason is, the pressure of peers and older generations. “People around me repeated daily, get married and have children and move out, so I did. Am I happily living after? NO, i`m bitter, angry, sad, broken, in fear, heavy leaden, in darkness, always in somewhat contests with people around me, who has something better, something more and so on…, I succumbed to the fear of the opinions about my life of others, thats the hurtful truth.” We start feeling lonely, because we are on our own, lonely comes not from BEING ALONE. We all suffer of something and as we like “diagnoses” then lets diagnose ourselves: too often in the company of people, leading us to fear ALONE TIME, which each soul needeth. The cure for all of our problems are: ALONE TIME AND BIBLE. Hollywood has teached us how to live and love, way too long, lets risk with all that we have and give chance to GOD through His word. KJV Bible says; Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Same here

nothing to feel bad about. you arent ugly like her or me. enjoy life to your full potential and never let uglies bring you down.

I feel like this too, like today i wanted to get pizza and i looked in the mirror or a reflection of myself waiting, and I looked so thin and frail... i thought OMG at home I looked way FATTER than this. Like throughout, the day through my perspective I see myself one moment really fat or the next too skinny.

Me too I just can't bare looking at myself in the mirror and when I go out in public I'm just so insecure all the time and if I'm in a busy place with a lot of people around my face starts going red and sweaty it's just so ridiculous

Ive seen i lot of comments like this, a lot of us relate, look at every comment like yours, look at their pfp if they have one of themselves, none of them are ugly neither are you, its in your head, which is funny coming from me cuz its what people say to me, i think they are lying, you may think im lying but no one is ugly, everyone looks different

Lol good humor

Aiko exactly it’s been months since I looked in the mirror my friend/cousin is pretty I hate going out with her because she’s so pretty and I’m so ugly

Oh no :((( I hope the best for you to get better!! I feel ugly often times too, I avoid looking in mirrors, taking selfies, but there are days I realize that my looks don’t matter as much as I think they do. I might be the ugliest person in the room but I’m the ugliest person who can make an positive impact and can be remembered for my personality. I always keep this in mind: when I die, most people would remember me for who I was, not what I looked like

You aren’t a horrific looking being focus on positive things ;)

Ik what u mean.......

You are not ugly/horrify. I am the ugly and horrific.

Same💔

I cry every time I look at my body/try on new clothes. I hate it so much :(

Hello

I hope you are healing especially during COVID (which is the best time). I can relate SO much to you and I’m 100% healed from it bc I’ve worked so much on myself. My self-esteem was ruined when I was 14. It gradually got better once I was 18.3

Jesus sees you, knows you, and understands you, come to him he’s waiting for you with open arms. ❤️

Amen

True

Yeah I love how all the people on the video get people to affirm them that they're not ugly..like attention seeking much..no one spends every second of everyday telling me I'm not ugly. Lol I say it and joke about it it's tumbleweeds and crickets lol

True I can feel you

True

Know the feeling I hate my life because I know I'm not an attractive looking guy, never had one women fancying me, I get so jealous and depressed when I see good looking dudes with women makes me feel shitty knowing I'm missing out just so unfair and would rather be dead

No you're not beauty is not just in one look it's deeper than this just give yourself time to grow and love your body and be grateful for it 💗💗💗

Nina Nini yeah you’re right. Laddy Donglegs you’re not ugly ☺️☺️

try to build up confidence and see yourself normal.

Doesn‘t sound healthy either. I‘m sorry that you feel that way

I really thought I was the only one to do this - I don’t really leave cause I don’t want anyone to have to see my face

oasis I thought it was just me for a while.. I'm sorry you feel that way though, I know how tough it is

Malachite My face and body is an obsession to me. It has to look good and some of the standards I set up for myself are too high and I know that, but the other part of myself just can't help it

With humans it is only when their privileges such as health etc are taken away that they realize how good of a life they had. Don't realize it too late, embrace yourself. It is never too late to change what you don't like. Love yourself, see a counsellor or therapist and talk to them about your issues. All the best x

I feel the same way

@arianna shay and @TILL THIS DAY!!! The video is about *feeling* ugly, not being ugly. You can safely express to them that you *feel* this way and need to get support.

Me too😢 we live in a world where people are way too judgemental

Listen, I do not think you’re ugly. I think you’re normal or good looking. I think you should truly consider to have children. There is so much more to life than looks and YOU deserve to have a good life. You deserve love. Love from your children and the one you love whom will love you too. Love is the most important thing in life, not looks not money, I wish you will be love and love and get children.

No you are not and I don't give a f*ck of what your siblings said neither should you. You are beautiful, you just haven't realise it yet because of the constant slenders .Don't work out to please others, do it to please yourself ,do it for your health do it because you want to.

Lol u make me laugh,i was scrolling down comments(sad relatable).tks for making me smile,this reduce my pimple by1%

That’s a real shitty thing to hear from a sibling. But I’m sure it says everything about them and nothing about you… if they continue to be abusive I’d just cut them off if confronting them is out of the question…

Wtf is wrong with your siblings. They’re a bunch of bullies, that’s so messed up

Same

Same this ponders my mind. I always think if my husband actually thinks I'm attractive or is because he's too insecure to find someone better than me. Because he is a bit anxious and introverted. Although he's attractive, not just to me, but generally, he isn't Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. I sometimes think he just settled with me because we were really good friends before we got together. And that I'm actually truly ugly. His sister is so pretty like.. why would he want ogre if he's seen attractive people in his life? His parents and family are attractive

I would like to hear the honest truth. but then at the same time I already know what my flaws are. Fluctuating weight, fine hair, wide face, pudgey nose, gappy eyebrows. Endomorph body shape where I gain fat everywhere. If I gain weight goes straight onto my face. I have small eyes and low brow line. I have perpetual lines on my neck, even when I have lost weight to a healthy size. Even when I was fitter and did kickboxing and trained hard, I have an over hanging belly, back fat, saggy but enlarged chest, hyper pigmentation, no real curves. Every wide shoulders and chest awkward hands. Basically an ogre. Don't even need to describe it. What can anyone say if I already know. What difference would it make?

those ppl you "repell" don't need to be in your life anyways if they aren't genuine with you... trust me, they did YOU a favor... beauty is skin deep, if ppl don't wanna be around you just because of how you look on the outside, then they don't need to be in your life period. this so-called "truth" you'd be getting when asking if a person thinks you're ugly, their answers would only be their OPINION... only truth that matters when it comes to how you look is how YOU feel about yourself. ask yourself, do you really wanna value the opinions of random ppl who serve no positive position in your life?

MarioD420 even my dad said I was ugly. How can I ever be fine when that always runs through my head?

@@intense_vibration you're dad is abusive then. U deserve a better father.🧔😇💚

It happened exactly with me. A lot of girls and some guys called me ugly. Everyday mocking by me. I cried several times and wanted to die and born again as a beautiful person. Or just sleep and wake up in the next morning as a handsome man. I'm too ugly to pick up girls and i feel so bad going out and see everyone better than me.

i can relate. I’ve been called ugly by people at my school multiple times. it hurts and it’s something that sticks with you forever.

First of all they called you ugly at school . Well they have got ugly minds and ugly mouths to curse you. That's their opinion and it's not a very clever one. I have met people from school but they were not bullies. I often see a woman from my school days Anita . She was the best track athlete at the school . She goes around in a wheelchair now. Those people at school that bullied you, they have changed also, some of them might be disgusting in looks and in personality now . Take comfort from that.

Hey

❤️❤️❤️

Lying and telling unattractive people they're attractive won't solve anything If society wants to help, lookism (discriminating based on looks) and pretty privilege need to stop, as well as the halo effect and horn effect.

@@sarah37452 Who said I was lying? Don’t project your wack ass opinions on to me.

Wtf. Your actually really gorgeous from what i see.

This sounds like a self esteem issue. You really are physically attractive and no it’s not a compliment. Beauty isn’t an accomplishment either. Beauty nowadays is totally associated with goodness which isn’t true at all. There are actual unattractive people out there. Like to tell them just because they were born unattractive, it’s a bad thing? Like isn’t that a fucked up thing to say? Anyways sorry I got distracted. The main point is you don’t have to be beautiful to matter. But yeah anyway you are physically beautiful so idk why I’m even saying this to you

This answer is a little late, but have you tried therapy? If you dont want to go there are helpful forums, self help groups. Or just exervise. It helps

It’s a step towards loving yourself,

Marie Tourniquet I felt the exact same way. It’s like he took the words straight from my mouth. I had never heard someone say that. It really just hit me like a bus; my jaw dropped when I heard him say that- Someone finally understood what I was feeling.

Beauty is subjective. Maybe you are ugly for some people. But, you are beautiful also for other people. I find beautiful people my friends don’t. We all are different, not ugly. Of course the are “beauty models” but these are few, most of us are normal humans that are subjective in all their choices.

I'm 17 and have the same exact thing feel to ugly to date even though I get called hot but I ignore them because I feel like they are trying to be nice and also look fat to myself while others say diffrent

You are very young at 17, go get the help that you need as soon as possible. Don't underestimate your needs and don't be ashamed to ask for a specialist's help. Not even loving, caring friends can fully understand this phenomenon. And neither internet alone will help. Go see a doctor, it would be a shame not to take advantage from everything therapy has to offer. Twenty years ago they wouldn't even get the right diagnosis. Good luck and never forget you are not alone!

Me too mate. Power to the ugly people ✊

I can understand what you are saying, i am not pretty either. I have a big nose and i hate looking at me from the sides. All i can say, try doing a sport of some kind, anything, like running in the morning, if you don't like meeting people, or simple exercises at home. Trust me, it is going to help you. Exercises are a perfect way to get that anger out and you will see improvements in your body, your skin will be more clean, you hair will glow more. I can do nothing about my face, but surely i can do something about my body.

well if you've been diagnosed (idk i'm saying it) you probably do have body dysmorphia

rivers nature MEE ON 💯💯😫😫😫😫

Exactly me, the reflections I like are those that warp my face in a way that makes it hard to judge actual proportion tricking myself into thinking I'm more attractive than I actually am. I can't cope, I have to delude myself in order to survive. Suffering is unbearable after I have to descend back to earth from my spaceship ISS DELUSION.

Try to make yourself better...Sports is important..go and work hard in sports im sure ull have a beautiful body then whenever u get mad or sad bcs of ur body go to gym!! And try to wear beautiful clothes and do a better hair cut

Donagh C everyone is beautiful, don’t be a afraid to show who you are 💓

quook you're part of the problem

Donagh C if you think you're ugly then how are you capable of having yourself as your profile picture? i'm ugly as shit, and having myself as my profile pic would be a huge disservice to everyone and it would be extremely uncomfortable for me. I genuinely want to know, not judging!! I see a lot of people saying they hate their appearance but still post pictures of themselves on the net and it's like...is that not difficult? Also, you aren't ugly. I know you can't see it.

crippling shame - so much of this

the feeling of isolation is sooo damn real. there's a couple of bdd support groups on facebook with 3k-5k+ people if any of y'all are ever looking for support/advice from people who fully understand.

there is help out there though, get CBT counselling, from your doctor. it really does help.. its not a cure but it gives you the tools to battle it everyday :)

I love your comment and you are very courageous to battle those nasty little thoughts in your head, I know it can become overwhelming, especially when there is so much going on around the world and then you are faced with the guilt of focusing on something so insignificant and allowing it to consume you. I have tried what your saying before, and it does help at times but it is truly a constant battle,. I just wish we can send a memo to each and every one of us that it is okay to be ugly! We are human beings, no one is perfect but we've all been lied to from a young age and have been misled to think that our worth is measured by our beauty on the OUTSIDE. This pressure used to be mainly directed to women, but Ive noticed that men are now falling victim to this BS. We just need to stand up against it, but it is challenging!

You just described me.

Augford P. Doggie oh don’t be so harsh

Deer Heart How can you ever say something as tasteless as that?! He isn't forced to be in a relationship with that poor woman, he simply loves her and finds her beautiful. PERIOD.

Kocisko I don’t think they meant for their comment to be offensive ... calm down

Lily Zhou I hate looking at my reflection. Almost threw my mirror on the floor

@@protoiboi666 ah, I lost weight and I got into modelling now. I'm now a small time model for this college. But I went anorexic not eating anything and running 2hrs a day.

@@xoxomangakcorxoxo man, man, man... you are right when you say you feel like beauty is everything especially if you’re a girl.

Your NOT ugly by any terms

@@Chromedome-ss6mg thank you! 2 years passed I decided to cry about school more haha

Austenelia x story of my life

The first time I realized I'm not really as good-looking as I thought I was was during highschool. I was talking with my mom about a bunch of stuff and we brought up a friend who is a neighbour of mine who was so pretty. I asked her why people kept flocking to her even when she doesn't approach them, and my mom just stared at me for a while and then said awkwardly: "Well, your beauty is the sort where you the more you spend with the person the more you see it, your smiles don't hurt either." I was honestly shell-shocked since it came out of nowhere and just tore my self-confidence to shreds. I think now that she saw I was delusional about my looks and wanted to snap me out of it. Anyway, even if it really hurt me at that time and the following years too, I think right now I'm more grounded in reality and more confident about myself since I know what to expect and not put myself in embarrassing situations: No more daydreams about hot guys or expectations of getting tons of likes of my photos on IG etc. It's honestly liberating to be one with yourself. That's why I hate people who comment that 'eVeRY onE is BeAuTifuL' bs. They just make people more delusional OR in my case, plain angry.

Shimaa Hakim you wrote this so perfectly. People should definitely think way more like you. When people stop associating ugliness with worthlessness, things become a lot more easier. I mean it’s ridiculous how people treat each other in a shitty matter just because of something as small as looks.

This is the story of my Life .

I guess it’s because we tend to focus on the negative parts. Because if we ignore all the bad things, if might spiral out of control. Maybe if we ignore all the good things, we become delusional. Also from my experience, Humans don’t really see outside of themselves as much.

too real

Me too

ladeerachel1 you look beautiful tho

Girl you beautiful don't think otherwise I went through being teased and bullied, but never hated myself because of the way the Creator made me. Love yourself and embrace yourself we are worth more than gold😚. Wish I could have put that old song on at the end of this video " I'm beautiful dammit" because you are. Everytime you think that thought cancel it you're not sistah😇.
