I put this in the women and girls section cause I read it's something we struggle with a lot but I bet a lot of men and boys do 2 so anyone can respond to this

I feel ugly and like I have to constantly make sure I look my best. Imma constantly analysing every little thing about myself and other girls in my class. But no matter how much I do and try I still feel imperfect and ugly

Ive looked up tips and vids online to help but nothing made a difference yet

Is this some thing you struggle with 2?

  • No, but I can kind of see this reaching beyond many young women's concerns about looks and tapping into Autistic perfectionism too.

    It may not feel like much use, and a bit cliche, but you know both perfection and beauty are in the eye of the beholder.  There were occasions in my youth when I mentioned to male friends that I thought a particular girl was very attractive or beautiful, as was shocked that they said..."errr, she's nice, but no way my type and I don't think she's pretty."  I think it really is the case that one person's 'pretty Kitty' is another's 'plain Jane', if you remember that rhyme.  

    The other thing I'd put money on being true is some of those other girls feeling a bit unattractive but looking at you and envying some of your features.  I had a friend with a lush mane of dark tight curls that I would have died for.  That many women paid to perm in.  She hated them and was forever trying to straighten them out.  But she had such beautiful hair, bless her.
