people who don't look so good won't post a pic

I know this post of TB's caused a lot of controversy a month or so back. As an (objectively) ugly-looking person I'd like to insert my opinion.

First, I'd like to say that I am not at all insulted by what TripleBogey said. And I will elaborate on some reasons that may back him up in the paragraph below this.

I've found that showing my picture to others online has sometimes been a detriment to me. People who formerly liked me, can become reserved, or stop talking to me completely. Sometimes they even avoid commenting on my apperance whatsoever and ask where/when the picture was taken. This has hurt my feelings on numerous occasions. Or, people have bluntly told me how ugly I am, or have made fun of me (this has even occured in real life, when I did nothing to provoke it). They'd come up to me in the halls at school and tell me how ugly I was to my face. It dumbfounded me.

However, I feel liked enough on ALL that I feel safe posting my pics. I know I am not conventionally beautiful. I know my appearance shocks people when they first meet me and makes people avoid me in real life because they don't know how to deal with me due to my appearance. It makes making friendships difficult. In fact even when people call me beautiful…for example (maybe people will laugh at this) but a few weeks ago I was at a strip club with some classmates (my first time at one) and a stripper came up to me and said "Aww you're so beautiful!" and gave me a kiss on the head. It made me cringe inside, because, she might as well have said "You're really ugly." Because the words were so insincere, that they meant the opposite. Like people commenting on a disabled girl's page on facebook about how beautiful she is. They don't mean it….(I've run out of words to describe this phenomenon I've run across sometimes, insincere, empty flattery for disabled persons.)

However, I feel safe here and I know the people who care about me the most like me regardless of my appearance and some even manage to find aspects about me (like my crooked nose, or my eyes, that they consider cute or beautiful).

But yes, according to the world, to the majority, to the uninitiated to…strangers. I am ugly.

To people who genuinely love me, I am not.

So yes, there are several reasons why someone with a congenital condition or someone lower on the scale of beauty may not want to post. It's terrifying putting yourself up for review and your self-esteem/sense of worth being hit based on how you look (which sometimes cannot be helped).

Sophia i dont know you and i just joined but i wanted to say that i hope you dont let those people who judge you based on your appearance get you down. I was in an accident when i turned 27 where i litterally broke my face. I have seven metal plates in my face now and it broke my nose for a third time, knocked out some teeth, and fractured my eyesockets and skull in four places. I mention that to say this. I had self esteem issues about the way i looked BEFORE that happened so you can imagine how that made me feel after.I litterally feel like a monster at times, but lately ive decided that those people who would judge me based on how i look physically are pretty boring and have little to offer me anyway.So those people are doing me a favor, in that i dont have to waste my time with them.

As i said i just met you, never seen a picture of you but im a decent judge of character and im sure youre not ugly. Im definitley not the best looking guy but im okay with that, for all my scars, broken pieces and everything else. It makes me who i am. Be proud of who you are, you have a lot to offer.

Like i say none of my business i was just glancing at this forum and i hate seeing people feel down on their appearance because ive dealt with it my whole life and it can make you miserable. To me the only really ugly people are those who judge others on silly things like that. Heres a video also you might find interesting that shows how people view themselves differently than others really see us.

Wow. That's a very brave thing to post. Speaking honestly, I've seen your picture and I don't consider you ugly. Even if you are not what is traditionally considered physically attractive, who cares? I can sense that you're beautiful on the inside and that's far more important to me. I can also tell that you're highly intelligent and that will take you far further in life than a pretty face.

I remember reading something you wrote during this very thread about someone taking a picture you had posted and using it to mock you on a body-building forum. I read that and it made me feel extremely angry. I wanted to reach out to you and let you know just how offensive I found that to be and reassure you that we're not all mindless ignoramuses. I eventually decided against contacting you, because single men in their 40s contacting young women out of the blue can often be viewed with suspicion.

I can fully appreciate how you must feel when people have approached you solely to attack your appearance. I used to be morbidly obese and I've had a great many people come up to me just to let me know how disgusting I am. It used to destroy me. It would chip away at my self-confidence until I didn't want to socialise any longer. Over the years, I have learned that these people are not worth worrying about. I don't even consider them to be the same species as I am...

I would like to ask you something if I may?

I have occasionally been around people with physical deformities, birth 'defects' and disabilities, and I know that I have intentionally avoided their gaze or I've overcompensated and said things similar to what the stripper said to you. It's not because I am trying to be mean - it's because I am trying not to make them feel uncomfortable, but I realise that my actions might have had the exact opposite affect. Would you rather someone asked you about your condition than have them intentionally ignore it?

Soph, I think you're lovely, & I admire you for your honesty & openness.


Here's a pic of my new do as promised.
