Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think feeling ugly is having low self-esteem, and feeling beutifull is the opsite. we sometimes decide to give someone else a great power over our life in deciding what would be our self worth.
When you decide to relece this guy from the job of deciding if you are good looking or not, you feel a lot better.
ohh and for the record most guys i dated and they dump me, did it cuz they have some problems in thier life (can't commit to relashanship, haveing to much trouble in thier life and want to work it out bythemself, and stuff like that). most of the guys i know are self constrate.

ok, so there are scientists out there who decide if people are beautiful based on very specific aspects, and in reality, only 3% of the world's population is beautiful. so then, why is it that we see others as beautiful?

the thing is, it's not the looks people are naturally attracted to. it's the confidence. really, i bet if you had a bit more self-confidence, you'd think you were a lot more pretty! i mean, we all feel ugly, but when we are in a good mood and happy and burstig with confidence, we feel pretty and no one else cares how "ugly" we are cuz they can only see how great we are. so what you need to do is not care about looks. focus on your good points and think about how beautiful on the inside. eventually, you'll stop caring about the outside, cuz no one really cares about the outside anyways. and if they do, they aren't worth your time.

it sounds more like u have no self esteem and r making assumptions that arent true. it also sounds more likely that ur bf broke up with u because u have no self esteem, not because ur ugly, if he rly thought u were ugly, he probably wouldnt have asked u out in the first place. and also, who rly cares even if u r ugly, i mean it would b nice if u were pretty, but y waste time on it. b urself and have fun. also, it rly depends on who u ask if ur pretty, every person u meet will think of beauty in a different way, for instance, alot of the preps at the school: if u ask a football player if they're pretty, they'll most likely say yes, but if u asked some1 else, that actually cares somewhat about personality (no offense if ur a prep, but the ones at my school r fake) then they'd probably say no.

oh my god! i was exactly the same way! ok, here's what i did. i was at the point where i was insane because i hated everything, including myself. so what i did was a lot of thinking. people say that when you spend time alone, it's bad. but if you use your time well, it's ok. what i did was a lot of writing. i sat down, and through hours of tears and hatred alone, i finally got all my pain out on paper. then, once it was all out and i accepted all the problems in my life, i made promises to myself. once your able to promise yourself something and not break the promise, you become a lot happier; it shows you that not everything is a lie and things can go according to plan. eventually you'll find happiness and your looks won't mean a thing cuz you'll be happier on the inside.

or maybe i'm totally wrong and what worked for me cant work for everyone else. regardless, good luck.
