Just that, really. I’m a stone and a half overweight and can’t bear to look at my fat pie face. Dry eyes as I’m getting older so I can’t really wear contact lenses any more, and glasses have never suited me. I had braces as a teen and nice straight teeth for a while but they’ve moved, so I feel a bit self conscious about my smile in photos. But I also feel like my face has fundamentally changed in some way I can’t put my finger on, it’s not particularly about wrinkles, but like my facial features have literally changed and got uglier, my face just used to be softer and prettier and more feminine. I grind my teeth and I feel like it’s given me this really square harsh wide man jaw that I hate, I sort of don’t recognise myself in the mirror. I hate feeling like this.
AIBU to feel like I’ve not just gotten older, my looks have changed in some fundamental way? Does anyone else feel like this?
