What can I do to not look unattractive?

Question

I have the biggest fear that I will end up with someone so sub-par in every way, that I'll be a horror story featured on Oprah. I'm scared that because I'm ugly, I have no hope with men and life.

I have an even bigger fear that I will be denied positions at law firms after toiling away in law school because of my face. I knew I wasn't pretty growing up, so I developed my brain, and what do you know, attractive people still eclipse me.

I'm at my wits end and ready to do just do something final to myself in order to spare the eons of pain that may come from being such a mistake on this earth. Help.

I want to attract a kind, very smart, clever guy --the qualities I espouse. I also want to be able to look in the mirror or glass surfaces again and actually tolerate my reflection. At this point, I stand for pictures without looking at them and I never look in the mirror. I don't go out if it is not necessary. I need some advice so I can stop hating myself. You have no idea how pervasive looks are.

Answer 1

wear your hair down every once and a while. guys like hair, they like it to be long and flowy

Answer 2

Your pretty,you don't need to change anything.

Answer 3

Change your screenname. You arent ugly. And also It takes a lot of guts putting up a pic of yourself. So Good job. You really don't need to do anything. Wear your hair down! If you style it I'm sure you would look beautiful! Good Luck :)!

Answer 4

Please, oh please, stop posting your pictures. I lost count of how many times you've posted them so far. This is getting really pathetic, and the more you post, the more aggressive and nasty the responses will be.

And you're pretty, there's absolutely nothing to change expect that you need more self-esteem. Trust me, you're pretty.

Answer 5

ok first of all, you are not ugly. You have a very pretty smile :)  

Answer 6

You have serious issues. Stop looking at what you THINK are flaws and embrace the good qualities about yourself. You're going to be a lawyer...doesn't that mean you should have some kind of confidence?

Answer 7

Your not ugly.

Answer 8

YOU ARE NOT UGLY AT ALL! and i'm an honest person so i'm not just saying that. you look very down to earth! have high self esteem!

Answer 9

First of all, you are not in any way unattractive. You don't have acne, your face is symmetrical, your teeth are nice. Maybe you have body (face) dysmorphia? Why do you hate yourself? Have you ever been diagnosed with depression? You are not going to attract any kind of guy you would be interested in if you don't love yourself. I recommend you either speak to someone you trust or a professional. Maybe you should go to a salon and get a makeover. It works on tv.

Answer 13

GIRL YOU ALREADY POSTED A QUESTION LIKE THIS WITH YOUR PICS.......WHATS WRONG WITH YOU

YOUÈRE WASTING POINTS!

Answer 14

you are very pretty.

Why does it matter what other people think?

they arent you, you need to accept yourself for who you are.

If they like you, yay. If not so what?

people are mean, and that what life is about.

how you live life and accomplish your goals is what makes us who we are.
