How do I stop hating my face?

I have struggled with this my entire life. I can say that the suggestion for therapy is an excellent idea! I myself never went but have for other reasons. I'll tell you what helps me and it might sound a little counter productive but here it is. If I've been trying to cover up my flaws with makeup and I'm still not happy, I force myself to go a period of time without it so I can see and show my real face. You can start small with this if you tend to wear a lot, start by not wearing concealer or maybe eyeshadow. Bring yourself to where you wear only mascara for a few weeks. I find that this helps me accept my face and also I feel better about how I look with the makeup when I DO wear it again. Similarly, even though I will look for that "perfect" angle and lighting when taking pictures, I don't use filters. I don't want to put an image of into the world that is false because if I see someone in thr real world without the files I don't want to see the surprise in their face when they see I'm not as attractive ac my photo. As fast as body goes, find the clothes that flatter YOU not the clothes all the Instagram models after wearing. Every body has their clothing designed to flatter and trying to force yourself into what flatters somebody else's body type will only make you feel worse. It's about first accepting yourself and then you can find love for yourself. Exercise helps tremendously as well since it releases "happy" chemicals in your brain. I used to do little workouts in my room every day just to feel ok enough to come out and it really REALLY helped.

What you talking about is called body dysmorphia it is very common in women your age. My first advice would be get a councilor/therapist. There's a reason why you don't like the way you look I can't tell you what that is that's something you'll have to figure out for yourself... It usually has nothing to do with your body and a lot of the time it has to deal with rejection... A little sister went through it from high school till she was about 20 one of the big things that helped her out a lot was she deleted social media because all the women there are fake because of filters... I stand by my first bit of advice don't get a counselor/therapist

Go try carb loading. On your high carb days eat a lot of sodium and train and drink water. Then on your low days bring it down. Stop eating a lot of sodium and reduce water intake by a lot. You’ll find your self peeing a lot because your body thinks it needs to excrete. So what it does is, it excretes more water than it should hence depleting you and making you shriveled.

I honestly think you're too much self conserened. It depends on the person seeing your face if they think you're beautiful or not. Maybe it's because you look at Instagram models often, remember they're makeup and editing. If you're rich you'd look just like them too. But the real treasure is ourself.

If your skinny, you went up 4 pts towards 10. So. Don't worry about it, you jumped to the 40% of women.
