I feel too ugly to go outside what should I do?

Question

TallAnon · Accepted Answer

Serious talk? Go to a therapist.
You see, what does being ugly have to do with being able to go outside? If you were ugly, you'd just have to live with that, everyone goes outside and there's plenty of people more ugly. So what is the real reason you're not going outside? Anxiety over how people will respond to you? Fear of the unknown? There's more to discover than "I'm ugly, ergo, I can't go outside" You're missing a step.
A therapist can talk you through this discovery and help you heal the root cause for why you think this way to begin with.

In the privacy of your... or your friend's home, have THEM do your make-up and you bring what YOU consider to be your sexiest outfits.

Have them then photograph you 'dressed to impress' to your favorite music, to relax you and... among THEIR acquaintances unknown to you, have them candidly tell what they found attracting and what was a 'no go'. To be relayed back to you.
Those 'self conscious' often have a far 'body dismorphia' self-image, borne of their daily upbringing.

Go outside. The fresh air and natural sunlight (providing you wear sunscreen) will actually boost your complexion, and increase your beauty. Also venturing out and giving yourself a change of scenery will be a great distraction tool for how you currently feel about yourself.

You’re really asking? Well there’s not much you can do but learn accepting yourself. You can’t have a face transplant unfortunately. And also your self image sounds distorted. You’re probably not as bad as you think

Orangesandsugar · Answer

genuinely. as someone who struggles with the same problem. I would find friends who make you feel safe and move in numbers. When you struggle with feeling ugly it can be really exhausting going anywhere because you constantly feel like people are one look away from judging you. but if you are not alone then it gives a sort of social cushion, that will at the very least distract you and other people. You should absolutely go see a therapist BUT not because there's anything wrong with you. there isn't. but a therapist can help give you tools to calm your mind and body when you are feeling anxious in a public setting. No matter how beautiful or ugly you are right now you can always change. and most likely in the next few years you'll find little things that will make you look and feel more beautiful, but the hard truth is that you won't find them by locking yourself away. unfortunately, you'll have to venture outside. Luckily, despite what TikTok and Instagram will make you think, most people (even hot people) don't focus on looks all the time. sure they'll focus on looks if you're on a date or being paid to model. but even the hottest guy in the world will probably still think your eyes are pretty or your smile was nice just seeing you in passing. real-life people are a lot kinder than you think. and if there THAT critical of your looks, trust me even if you were the hotest woman on earth, you don't want to be anywhere near that person. It is normal to be critical of yourself but if it's stopping you from living life then you gotta be brave and face it head on. If you feel too ugly. grab some friends or family who have it together! Have them dress you up, and go somewhere that makes you feel nice. Try new looks. accentuate the features you DO like. You can always become more beautiful. just make sure you deal with your internal fears as well. because if you don't then even if you do look better you won't be able to see it. Belive in yourself. and dont let anyone tell you that there's only one type of pretty- there isn't. Is a star more beautiful than a flower? Is the sea more beautiful than a mountain? no way girl. they all have their own types of pretty, and even the subtle or flawed types are valuable. things will get better. chin up beautiful. Dont stop yourself from living your own life.

WalkingInTheRain7 · Answer

Stop judging and condemning yourself and being hard on yourself, see the beauty that you have, for who you truly are naturally, and go out and live your life. Don't bind yourself up and prevent yourself from living because you consider yourself ugly because of what people have done to you. Forgive them, and move forward.

Jessica405 · Answer

Go outside and tell the world you made a mistake. You are NOT ugly! Your mirror was distorting the true reflection!

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

You could just put a paper bag over your head?

Go out at night first. There are people that have it much worse than you and still do it. Imagine having third degree burns on your whole body? Or you were attacked my an animal and your face is disfigured?

IMuser · Answer

That's their problem, not yours. If you have been told that you are ugly, it means they don't wish to see you. Consider it as a them problem, as *they* don't want to see you.

Their opinion does not matter, do what you have to.

Apulu_3 · Answer

Accept yourself. I think you should get therapy. You are caring too much about what people will think of you. People won't notice you only from a huge crowd. You aren't ugly though physically.

exitseven · Answer

go out anyway. The hell with what people think. I bet you are not as ugly as you think anyway. Actually I just looked at your profile pic. If that really is you, you are actually pretty from what I could see.

slatyb · Answer

See a counselor. It's unlikely that you are as unattractive as you believe you are. Even if you are somehow disfigured, you are worthy of having a public life.

Get the fuck out of Iceland to start. There is a big bright beautiful world for you to enjoy. You need to let your own beauty shine!

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Nobody cares what you look like do you ever look around at people on the street and think about how ugly they are? If you're a decent person I highly doubt it.

Sonorous · Answer

Well when I see ugly people anytime outside, I never think to myself "Gosh they're so ugly! They need to go indoors immediately!"

Mark987 · Answer

You should first of all stop being so worried. If it is too much.. maybe go talk to someone... we all deserve to be happy and not feel judgmental.. Covid has put a lot of people insecure.. only you know what to do... GOOD LUCK

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

Find yourself a reason why you've got to go outside. Something that will make you think of other things and not this. It helped me.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Therapy to start with.  Secondly as harsh as it sounds, people care about you less than you think and would barely notice you.

VikingWarLord · Answer

you need to go outside and lose the weight, then you won't feel unattractive.  Do 5,000 STEPS every single day.  You'll be shocked what happens in just a month

MarkRet · Answer

If you keep your tongue in your mouth, you look very attractive.

Staximus · Answer

If that's you in your profile pic, you are far from ugly. You have a distorted view of yourself. If you can't fix that on your own, maybe you need to see a psychologist or therapist

Agape93 · Answer

Go outside. You're pretty, hon, even if you can't see it.

cookiecrusher · Answer

Most likely not the case. Get your looks rated by strangers. Just make sure to get decent photos, from a bit of a distance to avoid lens distortion.

Juxtapose · Answer

No you're not.. stop this overdramatic, childish attention seeking behavior and get real with yourself.
