I think you have a pretty face. You look like a neurotypical person to me. I’ve tried to see myself like I’m looking at a stranger, can’t do it, it’s like trying to tickle yourself. My eyes are at slightly different heights, it bothered me for a long time but I later found out Bradley Cooper has the same thing going on and that doesn’t seem to bother any of his fans.

I haven’t given up on being pretty in the sense that I still try n make effort however inefficient it may be, BUT I’ve also come to realise that looks don’t matter its the effort that matters to be healthy, if one can muster up that effort that is

I feel ugly when I don’t have makeup on, hair done and dressed up and when I’ve put on a few pounds, but getting dressed up makes such a big difference in my confidence!
I put something in my hair after I shower to keep it tame. It is naturally wavy though I’m Asian. People say my hair looks nice! I’d also like to loose some weight. My mom’s telling me to stop eating sweets at night. Weight makes a big difference in how pretty you look…

I used to wear makeup every day. Now I only do for major occasions. I haven’t given up on losing weight though. Being heavy is unacceptable for me, I don’t feel good about myself and I feel unattractive.
I actually melted the fat off my face with a Chinese RF laser while I was detoxing anxiety medication! It was brutal. I kinda gave up on makeup after that.
I never wear makeup. Really never have. I used to have perfect skin. I miss that. Now I’m getting age spots. And gaining weight. And look so much older. But I don’t have anyone to impress so why would I care.

Well I would rather not have negative symptoms than be pretty. My priorities have changed being pretty is at the bottom of the list.

I dunno, while it was hard growing up, I’m glad now that I was never really very good-looking. It gave me the opportunity to spend a lot of my youth cultivating my interests and sense of the world & myself in it. Now that I’m older, I’m definitely better looking, but it’s hard to care too much because the satisfaction of “being pretty” will never compare to all those internal things. So yeah, nothing wrong with giving up on being pretty! You just have to keep close to the things you cherish & value inside you.
When I was hospitalized in the early eighties a couple of people said I looked like a model. Hmmm, in 58 years, two people out of 5 billion people on this planet. I don’t like those odds.

Where can I buy this laser?? I don’t care if it is brutal. No pain, no gain!
Im always wary of woman that have too much makeup on. To me it makes them fake and superficial. I prefer the real woman underneath all that junk they put on their face.
I only see beauty in the heart - not whats pasted on your face.
Could be a lack of confidence too.

Yeah True - Maybe i mix in the wrong crowds. women done up to the nines to me in pubs - screams “buy me a free drink”.
The most beutiful lady i had a relationship with - had a mole with a hair growing out her chin. But to me it was adorable.
Yeah - some people i know slap it on with the makeup to cover insecurity. But i just find it off-putting.
I believe our personalities and our attitude are where beauty lies. I do wear makeup, but not as much as I used to. And I don’t do it to impress anyone but myself. I like playing around with my look.

I’m a southern girl and doing our hair and makeup is in our genes. I look hideous without it
Give me a girl who hikes and gets muddy over a “pretty girl” any day.
