Why are my dreams different then what I think in reality?

Like in reality I feel hideous I don’t feel like any women would want me most times I don’t even like being outside cause I just think in physically repulsive. But somehow in my dreams i still look the same but women flirt and seem to show interest

Dreams are weird man. I think in dreams, our brains aren't as hung up on the usual stuff that makes us feel self-conscious when we're awake.

In dreams, it's like you see yourself how you want to be seen sometimes, you know? Like all the insecure thoughts aren't there messing with your head. The ladies probably notice you 'cause your dream self is just more confident and relaxed.

I wouldn't read too much into what happens in dreams. But it is kinda cool how they can show you deep down maybe you don't really feel as repulsive as you think when you're awake. We're usually our own worst critics.

Try not to be so hard on yourself, dude. I'm sure you've got way more going for you than you realize. Next time you're feeling down on yourself, think back to one of those nice dreams and remember that confident version of you. Fake it til you make it, you know? Chin up!
