I guess I'm not as attractive as I thought I was. This is killing my self esteem? (Page 2)

Question

So I know this happens very often. People usually overestimate their own attractiveness.
 
I conducted an experiment to eliminate as much bias as possible. I disguised myself as a guy and posted a question saying that there were 2 girls who I liked and I didn't know which to choose. Which one is more attractive and what would you rate each one? So I posted links of 2 girls (one was me and the other was a friend of mine). And the rates I got were lower than I expected. 

And I think this is a pretty accurate representation of my attractiveness since people think I'm not one of those girls. My ratings ranged from 3-9, but a good majority of them were like 6, 7, and 5. Maybe 4. I took all of those ratings, added them up, and then divided them by the number of ratings there were. Basically, I averaged the ratings out and it was barely a 6, more like a 5.8. I used to think I was a 7-8, because people would tell me I was pretty and I thought so too because I could see it in the mirror, but I guess not.

 And I guess it's the way society treats you too, and I'm not in the popular group at school, the people I surround myself with aren't that attractive, and that, in addition to the rates, makes me feel really unattractive. So I guess I'm not as hot as I thought? I don't know, maybe I'm basing my self-worth completely on the way other people treat me and peoples' reactions. And I've never had a boyfriend before. I'm a 14 year old girl by the way. Do you think I'm just an obsessed teen girl? And this is killing my self-esteem.

I've never seen a fourteen year old girl that is 'atttractive'. They're still pubescents! They're not supposed to be beautiful and sexy looking. Enjoy your childhood...

I don't understand why you're surprised? You are an average human being. Of COURSE you're going to get average results.  Logic.

" I'm just an obsessed teen girl" - yes. You're 14, come on. Stop worrying and go do something fun. You're going through puberty, and I witness the magic of it, changing most average girls into very cute ones. Just don't get fat. Harsh but honest.
