You have anxiety. Since you have so much stress already, you are already in the habit of worrying about things, so why not your appearance? It doesn't help that you stay inside all day either, it just makes you think and analyze yourself more. Even if you aren't a model, so what, you shouldn't care about your appearance, it is only skin deep. Try to be known for something positive that doesn't fade, like knowledge on a subject or be known for being a hard worker. Who cares about appearance. I have seen butt-ugly people (I am not saying you are ugly) get the most gorgeous partner. It really does depend on personality and other qualities.
Try taking up hobbies, even if they are personal and do not involve other people. It will help you focus and calm yourself, thus making you feel better.

Has someone you loved alot tell you you are ugly? i was in a 13 year bad relationship.Wont go into all the details but he would call me ugly.He would say look at you,you are a poor excuse for a woman.i have 5 of his kids.The third one was a emergency C section.Not even 1 hour after I woke up from surgery he told me how ugly the cut on my stomach is and said it will leave such a horrible ugly scar.To make a long story straight,I can tell you that all he has said to me was wrong and it was his way of making me lose self esteem.In public there is alot of guys flirting with me,sometimes infront of my husband.(husband is the best thing ever in my life)But when I look in that mirror I see a very ugly woman who needs a face lift and a very ugly scar on stomach.Words will impact some of us for life.

Could be social anxiety or body dysmorphic disorder. Try to google those topics. Also if you are more involved in other people, you will find that you pay less attention to your own appearance. Do some hobbies or activities that work on your self-confidence. We all have issues to some extent, but volunteer or stay busy and work out, etc. and you'll find yourself less preoccupied with yourself and more outwardly-focused.

When I was younger, I had to wear makeup when I left the house. Now, I don't put in my contacts, I wear classes and go in public without contacts or makeup because I don't care what people think.....You should not care either. I have had more guys come on to me lately and telling me that I'm beautiful and they love my personality/ Just being me. AND I'M 50!!!! So be yourself and enjoy........Kitty

Go to a doctor. Or a shrink. Meds can help. So can learning to think another way. Take care.

Are you serous? Usually only women worry about their looks, men worry more about do they measure up. And that really doesn't matter either if you can keep your woman Happy.

you need to get past this....pretty not pretty whats the difference ? We got what we got and its not much use worring about it. Lifes too short deal with what you got and quit whinning about it.
