Why is it that I sometimes don't feel beautiful because I am not white?

Question

Everytime that my mom or that my aunt thinks that a girl is preety, it is usually because she is more Spaniard than Indigenous. I am about 50 percent Indigenous. I am actually a cute girl but sometimes I feel ugly. This is even though I have preety bone structure. I am also not short or fat.The reason is because I don't have light color eyes and look indigenous.

I have dated really good looking guys who are very European looking with blue eyes. However, I always feel like the ugly duckling.

Answer 1

You don't sound like you feel ugly. You sound like you think you're hot. Lol. You don't have to be a typical "California girl" to be beautiful. Be yourself, and be proud of your lineage. Beautiful woman come in every single shade!!!! It's true.

Answer 2

I'm half Native as well. My mother is Irish, with the light skin, blonde hair and green eyes (mine are gray.) I ended up looking more Native, of course, and sometimes I used to think I wasn't too pretty either. I even bleached my hair once, but it looked weird and started breaking. Talk to your mother about it. I do with mine, and she's always the best when it comes to discussing things like that.

I take a great deal of pride in my Native heritage, and speak my language, know my culture, and many other things. Learn more about your indigenous roots, and that may help boost your self-esteem in a nation where Native isn't the ideal appearance. Do you know what Native nations your family came from?

It sounds like that u are upset because maybe u experienced people telling u all your life that u are ugly. U gotta think the positive girl, God made everyone and I know he would be so upset if someone says one another is ugly. Let me ask u this, Do u think God made people ugly? Yeah I heard people talking their crap from time to time about ugly people. But u always gotta remember the most important thing is NOBODY IS UGLY, ok I know u are going through a hard time but I know u are not ugly. Its all in your head!!!! Which is hard to stop thinking.

It may because white people are portrayed in the propaganda everywhere around you so much more than black people. Because of this you may unconsciously put yourself down because you are comparing swans to ducks so to speak. Beauty is intrinsic to a smile, attitude, outlook, skin, teeth, face, eyes and most importantly confidence and ability. The latter is really the only thing you have a lot of control over; so go get it.

Answer 5

Darling soul,
You are missing the most important element of your essence--- the light of Divine Creation that resides within each and every one of us that makes our physical being a fraction of the true beauty that we all possess in stewardship.

Answer 6

Because we are constantly given these TV images of perfection. Which are not Reality. Look around you girl. 80% of human beings are average. And some downright OOGLY!
That's also why so many are pissed. Everybody on TV has a mansion, and drives a BMW. That's NOT the Reality MY PEOPLE!

Answer 7

Hmm..Well, you re complaining about your eye color? Maybe get some colored contacts.
Buy a new outfit, maybe that will help you feel better. For me shopping is always the trick lol.
