Stop hating ugly people and you'll be content. ㅤ

True. Unachievable. But true.

Look in the mirror and smile it'll all come back to you

Go to a retirement home and help somebody

Work out

Or go buy a bunch of ice cream candy and potato chips and soda sit down on the couch for a half an hour eat everything you can and then go back into the bathroom take off your clothes see if you gained any weight and then see how you feel you probably should have stayed without the ice cream and just looked in the mirror of the first time

Just smile you know it's not true you know it's just a mood It's a moment in time That you'll get back as soon as you want to get it back So smile that starts the whole thing

Stop that mental loop before it gains momentum and remember self-compassion is a skill, not a personality trait.

Do what you usually do when you feel like that. 🤷🏼‍♀️

When you feel ugly and insecure, focus on tiny, doable actions, not the whole “self-love” mountain. Shower, style your hair, put on an outfit that flatters your favorite feature, even if it’s just your wrists or eyes. Limit mirrors and social media for a bit. Move your body, hydrate, sleep well. Talk to yourself like you would to a close friend. If these feelings are constant or intense, therapy can really help untangle them.

Realize that people don't know what they're talking about and society is often petty even silly about what it values. Just look at how stupid the things that are popular often are. Hoards of people can't wait to get ahold of some dumb even asinine thing. In the 20th centry millions died young because they burnt tobacco in paper and sucked it into their damned lungs. The organs they use to breathe. Anyone who ever looked inside a wood stove has seen the soot built up in there. So don't put much stock into what people think. Low IQ people breed faster and the culture caters to them as a result. Following them can ruin your life or get you killed.

When you feel insecure, go do something you do well and/or enjoy. Remind yourself that insecurity is nothing but fear. I have always loved the "Litany Against Fear" from Frank Herbert's book "Dune", and if you take some time to understand it, I believe you'll find it's true:

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

As for feeling ugly, when that happens just go look at a photo of Stephen Miller and realize that someone always has it worse than you, and you're not really that ugly after all.

Accept the feeling don’t fight it then tell

your self some nice things about yourself - and keep thinking of those - :)

it’s just thoughts nothing more - and temporary - ugly is a concept anyway - it’s not real. There is no ugly in nature is there?

Dont hide but show yourself more often. You won't get compliments to boost your confidence when you are not showing yourself because people can't compliment you on your looks🤷🏼‍♂️
