I am actually a very physically unattractive young woman. I'm overweight by 2 stone, I have really thin hair, vey strong,manly features. I am not, and have never ever been physically attractive.
I do not lack confidence. I am aware of my strengths and I am proud of what I have achieved, but looks I do not have.
Yet since I can remember people tell me I'm beautiful. My boss even told me she thought I was stunning. People tell me I should be a model and I'm beautiful.
But I am absolutely not. Proof of this is that I have never ever even been asked out on a date and I've been single my whole life. Men do not find me attractive and I am not physically attractive at all.
Only women and gay men tell me I am, never heterosexual men (you know the people that would actually know).
People mean to be kind but AIBU to find it a bit annoying. You know in yourself that you're not pretty, you know it's not true and people are just saying it to be kind. I'd much rather they complimented me on something that's true (like I'm eloquent or something like that).
Telling me I'm beautiful when it's plain as day that I'm not is just, insincere and annoying. aibu?
