What does it mean to be pretty?

Do you guys ever feel pretty once second and then the next you dislike yourself?

Growing up i’ve never been called pretty. That was until i was 21. Where i worked at that time all people saw was your bare face. No make up was allowed, not that i really cared because i hate wearing make up.

 

One day while working my boss told me i was really pretty, she’s not lesbian. Anyways i couldn’t stop smiling because that was the first time other than my family that said i was pretty. After that the women in my job who are like mothers to me would tell me what they thought was pretty about me. The would always compliment me on my smile and my beautiful natural face. Don’t think it went into my head. But it was nice to hear that i looked pretty.

 

I eventually quit that job because i was tired of it and got another. I was surrounded by people my age. I would always smile until one day the guy i like said, “Oh god please don’t smile”. He had whispered it to another person and i heard it. I quickly stopped smiling. I’ve always been a bit shy about my smile because i don’t exactly have straight teeth. Ever since then i always cover my mouth when laughing or smiling.

 

Another time i was working and this guy i knew in middle school and he came up to talk to me. I think that thought i was interested in him or something, which i was NOT interested. He came up talking about how my friend was hot and he wanted to ask for her number. He asked me how a girl likes to be asked for her number. Then he looked at me and said, “It's not like anyone would ever ask for you number” i just walked away and went into the restroom and broke down.

 

I’ve never had a boyfriend and all this just makes me wonder am i really ugly? I’m normally a confident girl but these last couple of months i’ve been feeling so insecure. People tell me it's all about personality but i know that's Bull . People in today's world look at the face before anything. I’m the DUFF in my group of friends and i hate being the approachable one.

 

There are some days where i'm like who cares? But then i feel like because guys just ignore me. I’m human i want attention too. I don’t like being used so that guys can get close to me and then my friends. I just hate being that ugly girl.I’m sorry to rant but you guys always know what to say to make me feel better.

 

But after this rant i feel a little better. I feel like i am beautiful and i shouldn’t let these s get the best of me. I am a natural beauty and i’m not ashamed at all.

But you ARE pretty...
I especially like your nose. Keke
You see, my nose is flat as hell.
People around me keep saying that if only I had pointy nose, I would be pretty. My friends keep saying that I look like a peaknose persian cat.
I used to feel unsecure about that, I still feel that way sometime.
But hey, atleast I had a perfectly working nose. There are others that's less lucky.
s will always be s.
Don't think too much about what they said about you.
Your happiness doesn't lie in their hand or words.
Be happy. You deserves it :)

damn yes! you should not let other opinion bother you, you're pretty :) i actually like you're skin complexion, your nose, your eyes, and ohh your lips :) we are the same but the difference is that my family looks down on me :3 they don't really say something positive about me, expect my mother, my father's family tho do the discrimination :3 i admit it really lessen my confidence, i really feel bad if someone compliments me, because my family don't so i have this mentality that i'm really nothing and i become shy but after some alone time, i realize that even if you're really pretty or not, if it's exterior basis we're talking about, it doesn't matter how much pretty you look outside as long as you are pretty in the inside, people who tend to fall in love just by face alone are fools, so what if today's trend is being pretty, it's not just the face attitude is also needed :) who would like a pretty face but doesn't have a good attitude :) so cheer up :) we're pretty in our own unique way :) have good day ahead :)

I feel the same. I've onky ever been told I was beautiful once by a friendly male stranger and it's nornally older people thay say "oh, you're pretty" but when it comes to same aged peers...I feel so ugly and NEED makeup to mask my insecurities and feel at least like a 5/10. Then when people look at you as you walk down the street but they look for a nanosecond too long with that emotionless look and you go back to feeling so ugly...like you shoukd just go crawl under a rock and stay there.
I think we all have our moments of feeling beautiful and ugly. Mine is when im all made up and ready to leave the house. It disappears as soon as I see people but at least I know thay 15 minutes ago I thought I looked beautiful.
Self validation is the most important.
And seeing your pictures, you are beautiful!!
I envy you and your flawless no makeup face!!
*rolls around in jealously*

everyone are pretty.
well, pretty or not, that's quite relative.
i'm pretty much like you - the difference is i am younger than you are. i've never had a boyfriend before and it makes me think i'm ugly.
but tbh,
you are beautiful. no lie.
s are s because they are s.
;D
