I Think I Am Ugly

I Know I'm Ugly

Written on November 12th, 2008

I'm so tired of being ugly. It doesn't matter what is on the inside. I can't get a date b/c I'm not pretty. I have a few extra pounds and I have vampire teeth. People have commented on my teeth all my life like I didn't know what they look like. It doesn't matter that I'm a caring person, that I have a relationship with God, I'm educated, I have a full time job. I eat healthy. None of my good qualities matter as long as I'm not pretty. I've even tried online dating and I couldn't even get someone to ask me on a date. That is sad, b/c I didn't think I looked that bad in the picture. My teeth weren't showing and you couldn't tell that I have a little weight on me.

    My fiance has long canine teeth too, he loves them though... the dentist wanted to file them down for him and he said no way. LOL.



    They don't bother me any, I dunno what's wrong with people. I think his teeth are cool.



    I had some dental problems with mine, and I know how it feels to not be able to smile or talk much because people will see. It's humilating and depressing. I'm so sorry people said things to you. The world is evil to kind hearted people. I really hope you find someone that deserves you.

    I don't think you're looking in the right places for someone. There are thousands of people out there who would be interested in you as a friend and also romantically. If you think you're ugly what about those of the opposite sex who might think the same about themselvs. Keep on looking - you will find true friends and true love.

    i'm sorry to hear that you feel this way. you sound like me at one point - even down to the "vampire teeth".



    i did find someone.. and i've been with him for 10 years now. funny thing is, is he and i fell inlove when i was still "over weight, ugly and vampire teethy". he loved me for ME. since then i've lost some weight (and gained!!) "fixed" my teeth and you know what.. he doesn't care a bit.. i realized it was all within myself.



    i know today there is a lot of images forced in our face of what the "perfect" person is.. thats what hollywood deems pefect.. not our true 'soulmates'. try to remember that. good luck.
