It may sound vain but my ugly face makes me severely depressed
Objectively, I think I’m ugly. I have a square face, my eyes too small, my forehead too big it looks like my hair is receding, my nose is bumpy, wide, and meaty. My lips are big but they are shapeless. I have discoloration on my skin from acne and just natural discoloration cause I’m dark skin. Everyday on social media my friends all are out here so gorgeous and having normal teenage experiences (dates kisses relationships) and a boy has never even glanced at me. I feel like I’m gonna grow up ugly and alone forever and even if I am to find someone I feel like I will have to settle and be in an unhappy relationship just for the sake of not being alone. My heart breaks going outside and seeing all these amazing looking teenagers and people and I’m just here with a curse bestowed on my face. Even the basic thing of taking pictures I can’t even do. They say find your angle, lighting etc but what do you do when you don’t have an angle? When you whole face is just too ugly for the camera. Every “compliment” I’ve ever gotten were back handed. So I end up retreating by myself because every social interaction is a just anxiety. Then I enter deep depression holes where I don’t talk, look in mirrors, make eye contact, etc. It seems that being ugly is everything that holds me back. I can’t change my face and on most days I don’t even think I can learn to accept it. I feel like this is my life, this feeling is my life.

You have to learn to 'own your face' which is not choosing to accept your looks based on what others say and think or media portrayals, but knowing that the face you have is the only one you are going to have and learn to live with it and use whatever obstacles might come your way to become a better person inside than those who don't understand or accept you. Does it sound like I don't really understand you? Maybe. But the words I just shared are from a couple people with deformities and the first I will put a link in for is Lizzie Velasquez who found a you tube video of her during her middle school years labeling her the Ugliest woman in the world. She has many many video and I encourage you to watch all by bringing up her name in a search on line. You will see once you watch this, that your attitude about yourself is one of the things that will make a difference in how you are accepted.

and next philosophy for a happy life from Sam Berns a teen with a rare disease where he doesn't look normal. The thing I want you to see is how he is loved and supported not just by family but shared a photo of his best friends who love and accept him no differently because of his disability.

I hope this changes your life and most importantly your viewpoint, how you think and see the situation.
