I feel so ugly and this is not an understatement
For the past year I started to really look in myself in the mirror and I feel so ugly. I'm not going to show a picture because it's just embarrassing. I'll describe what I look like.
So I have small wide eyes and a big fat nose that is slanted down. My head is a "rectangular" structure. My lips are small and thin. My friend said my face was "spacious" which I don't even know if I should take that as a compliment or if she's trying to call me fat. I forgot to mention my teeth, they are small and a few of them are crooked- I really want braces but I doubt my parents will get them for me, they won't even buy me an iPhone ($1000) imagine me convincing them to buy me braces which cost $2000+ :( and my worst flaw is that when I smile, like 2cm of my gum shows. Which is really ugly compared to a normal smile. I've been trying to fix my smile but it looks so weird I don't even know how to fix this kind of problem where my gum shows.
Now onto my body! I'm fat.
My thighs are humongous although my stomach is not too fat. But due to my thighs, it looks like my head is small which is so ugly.
I'm 13 btw. So please don't suggest any makeup tips because I'm not allowed to wear any. Unless it's some light foundation- otherwise I'm not allowed.
I'm sure I'll embrace these when I'm older but for now I'm so insecure. All my friends are so pretty. One of my bestfriends has pretty blonde hair with big blue eyes and big lips and she's just so pretty. My eyes are hazel.
Thank you!
Added (1). My question is- do you guys have any tips on how to fix these flaws? I'm so insecure about them that every once in a while I cry myself to sleep comparing myself to the other girls. Are there any exercises that will help me lose weight quickly without gaining muscle? I just want a slim body like all the other girls because I stand out way too much.
Added (2). In the title I was meant to type that it is an understatement oops
I have never met a 13 year old girl who likes how she looks. Everyone judges themselves harder than their friends. You are focusing too much on what your perceive to be negative things about your appearance. I'm sure you are much prettier than you think and hazel eyes are great. You may think you stand out
but in reality most girls your age are too busy worrying about their own appearance to notice any minor so-called flaws in yours.
Try to think less about your appearance and more about less superficial things about yourself that are good. You've probably heard that advice before but it really does work and it means that you focus on being even better at those things (your hobbies, being a good friend and a kind person, etc.)
If you are actually overweight, you should ask your parents to help you pick different foods and start exercising (aerobic exercise tends not to build up visible muscles). However, you should check whether your weight is healthy for your height (best to ask a doctor that or calculate your BMI for an estimate) and, if it is, make sure that you stay healthy and do not lose weight because that is can be dangerous.
Also have fun finding a style of clothes that suits your personality and expresses something good about yourself. Try doing different things at people. Smile a lot, because even if you don't like your smile, everyone else prefers to see you smiling because smiles are contagious. Those are the sorts of things that you can do to make yourself look better and feel better about yourself without spending tons of your parents money or becoming overly focused on it.
- Why is the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s design so ugly compared to the iphone 4/4s? Or am I wrong? Why is the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s design so "ugly" compared to the iphone 4/4s? Or am I wrong?
- Why is the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s design so ugly compared to the iphone 4/4s? Or am I wrong? - 1 I like how the iPhone 5s has a bigger screen. But the 5c had a big screen too, but is just ugly. The 5s/5 is somewhat good, but the iphone 4 with its glass back and front just looks better. Am I the only one who thinks this?
- Why do I look ugly in my camera, but not in the mirror? Whenever I look into my iPhone camera I look extremely pale, my zits look extremely red, and my eyes just appear "brown" but when I look into the mirror I look a little tan, and my zits look very small and not that big of a deal, and my eyes appear more greenish and hazel. And no there's no lighting of the room when I'm looking into the mirror it's just natural light. Is it just the camera that makes me look ugly? Or is my mirror wrong and my Cameras right? :/
- Why do I feel so ugly on camera but perfect in a mirror? Whenever I look into a mirror I feel like model, Ill be so proud of myself and my looks lol but then Ill pull out my iPhone to look at myself on the front camera and then I look ugly all of a sudden. Like my hair looks different, my skin tone on my face won't match my body, my lips seem redder, my acne scars are like 10x more noticeable… So why is this? And which one is more accurate?
