No one has ever said that I'm pretty!?

Question

I'm feeling really ugly right now. I've been thinking, and no one has EVER said that I'm pretty. People say I'm "cute", But I don't want to be "cute", I want to be pretty! The closest someone has ever come to saying I'm pretty is when my uncle was looking at my eyes and he said "wow, you have brown eyes, they are cool, you're lucky." My friend said that I'm pretty, but it sounded fake, and I just don't think so. Why hasn't anyone ever said that I'm pretty?!?!?!?!?!

Answer 1

cute pretty beautiful totally awesome are all relative words. they have different meanings and different values for every one who uses them or hears them.

what you really want to know is that you are progressing from being a little girl into a young woman. you want that progress to be marked and noticeable and you feel if it is so then people will use different words to say so.

i will tell you this a cute 5 year old is not cute for the same reasons or the same way a 20 year old is 'cute'. the word cute to a twenty something carries a whole lot more undercurrent than the word cute when talking about about a 5 year old.

obviously you are maturing at least your intellect is. you are thinking about things differently. remember girls mature faster than the guys and your intellect may be just a bit ahead of some of the other things that still need a chance to grow into maturity tmm.

Answer 7

Answer 8

You're pretty!

Answer 9

Not everyone can think your pretty. And besides a person can think you're beautiful just never have said it before. And probably if someone says you're pretty you'd probably think they are lying. I've never seen you, but I'm sure you are pretty. And if you are like "No one told me I was pretty today?" or be like "Why hasn't anyone said I'm pretty" you may sound conceited a little. Just stop worrying about if your pretty or not, I think your friends would think you are pretty since they are you friends. And trust me usually people don't like having ugly friends.  

Answer 10

Maybe cuz ur not pretty?

Answer 11

Depending on your age, cute can be good.  Most guys like cute girls.  (I called a 45 year old friend cute and, understanding what I meant, she smiled and thanked me.  [No, I wasn't hitting on her - she's happily married to a great guy.])  Now if you're in the 60+ age group, "cute" isn't always a good thing (although I have a friend [also hapily married] who's around 65 and pretty cute.)

Answer 12

Maybe you havent heard it yet, because your beauty is centralized in different aspects, rather than overall.

Like how your uncle said your eyes are cool, well, maybe thats where your prettiest. Having beautiful eyes is ALWAYS a plus. Always remember, everyone is pretty in different ways. That sounds corny, but seriously. Look at models, some of them, if you saw them on the street you would think, wow, she's ugly. But then when you see them in magazines, you think, wow, i wish i looked like her. Its all in the mentality. Focus on making yourself FEEL beautiful, and then other people will see it too.

My ex-boyfriend used to tell me I was "cute"all the time.

Then one night, he told me i was beautiful. It was really nice to hear it, so when you do, (and dont worry, you WILL) it will be so much more worth it, because it'll be from someone you care about.

Answer 13

You're probably very young. Give yourself time to really develop into a beautiful lady, and you will receive lots of compliments from mature people who aren't afraid to be honest. But for now, try to have more confidence and self-esteem. It really doesn't matter what people say about you if you know yourself.

Answer 14

guys usually have a hard time to say you're pretty or beautiful, so they say cute..
