I can’t recall a time when anyone ever complimented me on my looks. Not even my husband says I’m pretty or beautiful. I don’t mind if I’m average looking, but I wonder if I’m actually very ugly?
you know how when someone posts a photo of themselves on social media their girlfriends tend to compliment the photo and say they look gorgeous or stunning? That’s never happened to me, not that I post a lot and not that I’m fishing for compliments - it’s just something I’ve noticed. Even in my wedding day I don’t remember anyone complimenting me. When I was at school, a teacher joked that I looked like Dot Cotton from Eastenders. There’s nothing wrong with dot of course, but no 15 year old girl wants to be compared with an older, chain smoking soap character.
I dress nicely, am well groomed, am hygienic and my teeth are crooked but not dis coloured, they are clean. I know it shouldn’t matter, and that this all sounds very shallow, but I must be very ugly if not one person that I can think of has ever said anything positive about my appearance? My mum has never complimented me. My Dad, who is no longer with us, used to call me short arse (I’m 5’2”) but not in an unkind way. How does a person know if others find them very ugly? And why does it matter to me? But it does. I’m not putting a photo on here, but wondered if anyone else feels like this? And does it bother you? I wish it didn’t bother me, but it does .
