I used to be like that. I thought I was the ugliest thing on this earth and had been put here as some kind of experiment. I hated walking outside and would go into crowded rooms with my head down and blushing. I used to think that people were staring at me because I was so ugly. When someone stared and smiled, I thought they were laughing at me. I eventually came to realise that I was actually very pretty and people were staring because of that. I know where my thoughts came from ... remarks made to me as a child by my father. Can you think back to any time in your childhood when remarks were made to you that might make you think like that? Remarks made to impressionable children can unfortunately sometimes have very long-lasting effects. You need to get to the bottom of it and you will be so relieved when you're finally convinced that you're not an ugly duckling after all .. I know I sure as hell was! :) Start by looking in the mirror at least once a day and telling yourself 'I love you, you are a wonderful, beautfiul person'.

IT HAS A NAME! It's called Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Usually seen in girls with eating disorders, it can be found in girls without them. There may be another disorder attached to it, something where you have low self esteem, but look at that, look it up on the web and see if you meet the criteria, then bring it to a psychiatrist and talk with them about it. You sound like you have a bit of agoraphobia as well, extreme agoraphobics rarely leave their house, or some are restricted by themselves into rooms, or evens certain areas of rooms. Catch it early enough and hopefully you can stop your suffering. I have always hated my looks, for years...I cried all the time about my face, how ugly I was. It doesn't matter, it's what is inside. When I stopped caring, and just started being myself, I began getting asked out, etc. Now I am 25 and model locally. I never would have thought in a million years...but here I am. Living proof that my mind was completely wrong. Confidence has come with modeling, but I found it before. As I educated myself on my disorder (I am bipolar) got help, and treated people how I would hope to be treated. With kindness and sincerity. I wish you the best. I hope you realize that true beauty, the beauty that lasts forever, is in your heart. May all the angels bring you their mirrors to show you what you cannot see yourself, what really matters....I wish you all the best, with all my heart. I hate to know someone is suffering the same as I had all those years. Contact me if you want to talk. I know this too well. trukchik99@sbcglobal.net

Self consciousness. Inferiority complex. I think you should start to see things that you do not think are ugly about yourself. Do you think the color of your eyes are ugly? do you think you have an ugly smile? Do you think that your skin is too pale, too dark or is it pretty anyway.
