Can ugly people become attractive?

Question

Well  I posted pics of myself in middle school, and people have always told me I was very ugly and I was hideous. Even people on here would give me a 1/10 when it came to my looks...  People even started to tell me to workout... I thought that if you looked as hideous as me, you could never become pretty no matter how hard you tried Because I felt like after puberty my face was destoyed and I didn't even look humen because of all the teasing, hate and bullying in my school. Guys were the worst to me, girls always ignored me and gave me comments on how ugly my clothes and face was. I thought I looked to bad to become pretty. Until puberty hit me again and now I'm told I'm pretty and I look pleasing to the eye. Even from strangers and it's strange. But I still can't get over all the bullying and teasing/ hate I used to get... It's still hard for me.

I think it depends on the person really. I'm ugly but when I was overweight I was uglier. I was able to make my face look better by losing all the weight. Once grew out my hair and i fixed my eyebrows up too, that helped. I'd say on the scale out of 1 to 10 I'm a 3 now. I think the only way I could make myself move up anymore is with makeup. I don't want to wear too much makeup though. I think wearing pounds and pounds of makeup is the only way I can be pretty because of my features. I have masculine facial features.

Other people I've seen them look more attractive as they got older, and as they changed hairstyles or lost some weight. Not that you can't be pretty if you are bigger. I know some very attractive people who are bigger. My sister is one of them.

I just think it depends on the person. Some people like me can only do so much, while others can make a few changes.

I don't believe in "ugly" looks. People can be ugly cause of their personality but not for looks. Everyone can look attractive in their own way but it does sometimes require effort such as working out yes or changing your style. Learning how to enhance your best features is probably the most effective way of improving looks wise.

I'm truly sorry for the bullying you went through. If i were you I'd see someone professional about it to help you work through what happened. Otherwise you'll always feel like that part of your life is unfinished business. You need to put it behind you completely and finish that chapter in your life.

Depends on the person. Ugly duckling do exist. Me, personally, I was one ugly child.

People change so I think absolutely. Ugliness the inside is much harder to fix. Ugliness on the outside sure; hit the gym, eat right, floss your teeth, dress right and bam you'll be fine.

depends on the person. some people grow up from being awkward (or as you put it ugly) and turn into very beautiful adults

LOL. Being deemed "ugly" is completely subjective to the person who is labeling the other as such.

You might be undeniably beautiful to someone else. I think first you need to build your self-esteem. There are a lot of pretty people calling themselves ugly and I can only shake my head.

Some people blossom into the beautiful swan and others really are ugly as sin no matter from birth to their death. Most people wished they could be beautiful inside and out, though. Really, if a nice looking person has an ugly personality, they look ugly. If an unattractive person has an ugly personality, they look even uglier and vice versa. Hopefully, experiencing that horrible treatment can help you be a beautiful person on the inside and outside too.

This has happend to me. I went from pretty (as a little kid) to ugly (as a child) then average in my teenage years unless I put effort into my apperance. I also agree that there is less bullying or targeting. Just keep the negative people out of your life (especially the ones who only like you now).

I do believe that ugly people can become more attractive or at least decent looking through puberty, plastic surgery, changing style, and cosmetics.
Being mean to someone just because of how they look is heartless. Anyone would feel bad if they were in your place. I suggest talking to someone who will help you boost your confidence.

I think it really depends but personally, gonna exaggerate here to make sure y'all get the point, compared to myself in middle school I look like a goddess now 😂😂😂

chrisbigman · Answer

You need to realize that everyone is attractive in their own way. People who say you are ugly, are ugly themselves.

I think people can improve but only to a certain extent. Withiut the help of surgery I don't think a 2 could ever become an 9. However a 4 can become a 6 or 7.
