To Want A Nose Job

I hate my nose. I always have.

My life is crappy at the mo, recently single mum, feel rubbish, exercising, doing all that, but just hate my nose.

My x tells me I'm being silly and it's not big nor unattractive but I hate it. I want to cry. I just hate my face.

I know I'm not unattractive but I feel it. I'd love a perfect straight nose, but it's not, it's horrible. How pathetic I'm crying now because of it.

AIBU?

I haven't got the money to get one and it's pathetic to be hung up on looks, and probably vain. But no confidence at all.

I think I am being a bit pathetic. But I'm still upset. Ridiculous

just make sure it is your nose your unhappy with and not what your pinning your unhappiness on as you could get your nose done and feel no happier at all as it wasn't soul root of your problem

i hated my boobs thought id be happier etc but have actually learnt to love my body now i am who i am and people like me for that

if id had my boobs done i would ahve found something else to be unhappy with as that wasn't the real problem it was my outlook on myself being judgemental etc

maybe seek some counselling get to root of problem get your life on happier track and if still want it done go for it but getting nose done and expecting it to make rest of life feel happier it wont work as there's probably more to it

dont be so hard on yourself your nbu but you are being hard on yourself

I wouldn't know where to start with the plastic surgery on me!

bubblagirl is right, it's more about self esteem and the fact you think life is crap. You are focussing on something you CAN change (if you had the money)when its probably the stuff you can't change giving you the problems.

I bet no-one else thinks your nose is horrible.

Your nose sounds like the focus for your misery not the cause of it. Concentrate on sorting the rest of your life out and see if you still dislike your nose that much when you're happy again.

YANBU darling. Have you tried self-hypnosis? It worked wonders for my confidence, and I have a nose like Worzel Gummidge's.
