many people call me pretty and beautiful: plenty of neighbors, coworkers, parents, people online. But when i look in the mirror , i see nothing but just unattractive-ness. i have so many flaws on my face and body. And to prove it, no guys approach me. Nobody checks me out. despite all the "hey beautiful! or you're so pretty..." compliments i get. I haven't had much luck with men at parties. Every other girl seems to get hit on except for me. Its been so hard that I"ve given up on dating.
Therefore, thats why i just absolutely hate it when people give me stupid compliments on my looks. My looks have never benefited me in any way... Beautiful girls get things in life... i could barely get anything.

I get that. Compliments don't mean much if you don't see it yourself in the mirror. And it probably makes it worse hearing it all the time when you're not having any luck with guys. People say stuff they think is nice, but it can really get under your skin if your experience doesn't match up. Looking how you want is tough sometimes.
I'd say try not to be so hard on yourself though. Flaws are normal, we all got em. And attention from guys isn't everything - those pretty girls probably deal with issues too. Maybe you're just not your type but could be someone else's. Dating scene can be hit or miss sometimes no matter what you look like.
I know it's frustrating but try not dwelling on what you don't like and people saying stuff that doesn't help. Focus on being comfortable with yourself first before worrying what others think. You seem like an good girl, maybe try putting yourself out there some more and see what happens. Could surprise yourself. Either way, their words don't define you - what matters is how you see yourself deep down. Hope you feel better about it all soon luv.
