Feeling kinda depressed again tonight. Somedays I accept my fate of just being an ugly loser, but sometimes I wonder if I can ever really turn it around. Well doing internet shit, I come across a subreddit called r/amiugly and it's full of people posting pictures asking the question "be honest, am i ugly" and it's full of people who aren't ugly. Some of the girls are actually really cute or pretty, but apparently struggle with thinking they're ugly? It's like jesus christ...i dunno, it puts into perspective why I am so horribly treated by the opposite sex sometimes. It's not just about attitude, because I've had people who were supposed to meet me for dates, and walked away as soon as they saw me. On this subreddit, all these people who aren't even close to being ugly think they somehow must be unattractive. No wonder I am treated so inhumanely sometimes. I'm someone who is actually ugly, it's no wonder why I'm treated like the most hideous creature to have been born. Most people don't know what real ugliness is until they see me.
 
That reddit site is used by people who just want followers.

It's like dating sites. Anytime you see a good looking person posting their Instagram link in their profile, same thing.

Cheer up! Don't go on dates with people who don't have context on why you are great, even if it's slow. Also, fix up what you got and get passionate about something while you wait.

Thanks, but I don't even really go on those dates anymore. Those experiences were when I was still at least "young", and could maybe get some chick from pof to sleep with me if I was lucky. Now I'm over 40, and I no longer have that benefit, and just fall into the creepy ugly old man category. It was always hard to meet people, but now it's impossible, because every dating site that i had minor success on, are just hook up apps now.
 
Don't take social media environments like that at face value. Most people who post are not actually posting earnestly or in good faith. They know they are of average or above average attractiveness. They want attention, gratification, and follows.

In general, always maintain a robust and healthy skepticism about everything on the Internet. The Internet is full of hyperbole, trolling, and every possible kind of fraud.

On a more positive note, I bet you're not as bad off as you feel you are. When you are depressed everything feels much worse than it actually is or has to be. Mentality makes all the difference in the world. Getting to a more grateful and optimistic headspace has major positive ripple effects for the rest of your wellbeing and will put upward pressure on many facets of your attractiveness, from your social approachability, to your sense of humor, to your predilection for making healthier life choices. I know it's much easier said than done, but know that it is within your power to get there.

Big part of my problem is the damn teeth. The top front teeth stick out terribly, and have terrible gaps in them. STUPID dentists when i was a kid did not fix them properly, and as an adult, I've never been able to properly afford to get them fixed. Even when I have gone to places saying "please, just help me get these fixed" they always talk like... "well we cant do it because of this severe overbite" because my lower jaw is so far back, they make it sound impossible to fix my teeth. As if it's physically impossible to fix my upper teeth because my lower jaw needs to be broken to fix. That's just ignoring the multiple thousands of dollars they always want up front that i never have to get it done.


I bring this up, because i feel like if i did not suffer from these bad teeth, i could at least smile and feel a little better about myself, but it's just something i can't do. Then I've put on weight as ive gotten older...dont have the energy for the gym, don't have a good diet, dont have the money to buy healthier foods because groceries are so expensive...then i also go back to comfort foods cuz of how depressed i am...it's a vicious cycle. no support to help me get through it also.
 
I've been off my medication for too many days, and I feel like my posting behavior and comments have been erratic and stupid all night. I guess I don't always realize how much it stabilizes me until I go without them for a while. I just felt like this would be a good thread to apologize in.
 
Stay strong brother. Im #uglygang too

full
 
That subreddit is mostly ugly or slightly below average guys who know the score... and cute young women fishing for attention. Way of the world.

I remember the last thread we had about guy complaining about how he was short and ugly and was impossible for him to get a girl ended with the guy sympathizing with mass shooters. Shut her down boys or we can go live 🤣

What are you interested in? I suppose it's video games and posting on neogaf and stuff like that. Most likely there is someone who has no idea about that kind of thing but wants to meet someone who does, that's where you enter the equation. As long as you're open minded and willing to expose your inner-most weaknesses, you're outer-most weaknesses don't matter as much. Be brave, you only go around once on this spinning rock so make the most of it. If you're in a bind shoot me a message, I got your back 😎👍 we all like you here PowerP, and that's got to count for something.
 
Ugliness isn't that big of a deal to be honest.
I look like Sloth from the Goonies and I eventually found a cute girl who can put up with me.
Looks aren't as important to women as they are to men, in general.
 
You seem like you have good character and maybe that can overcome your personal ugliness. You probably aren't ugly. Stay groomed and clean and try not to smell bad.
 
Parts of the internet like that have just been infected by thots who are trying to sucker guys in. They'll be acting like a genuine person but trying to invite people to their onlyfans.

So you could say they are ugly on the inside.

The thing is, no matter how janky your teeth are or w/e other problem you have, people can and do become beautiful when they become familiar. There are so few opportunities to meet our peers after about age 25 that nobody really gets the chance to show off their personality and the things that make them irreplaceable.

Idk if it gives you any comfort because I know talking about it doesn't change anything.. but it's more this shitty modern life we're living in and less about your teeth :\

No no, you're absolutely right. Ya know, as down I am about myself, I know that if people just knew me, they'd like me. I think I have a dry wit that a lot of people find very charming. All the old ladies at my work love me, but sadly they need to be their daughter's ages for me to have any interest in them really lol My mom and I work in the same office, and most of them are her age.


I totally agree though that it's just the society we live in that also makes it so difficult. Even if I wasn't autistic, the opportunities for meeting people past a certain point in your life feel damn near impossible. Even 20 years ago when I was done with high school, it started to feel that way. People already have their cemented relationships, and you can never break into someone's life it feels like. Some people say they're lonely, but very few are actually completely alone like I am where I have zero friends.
