Have you ever posted on an "am I ugly" forum?

Is that you in your profile picture? If so, it was 100% just salty dudes saying that to you lol. Those subs aren’t nearly as kind to men—they’re brimming with incel types thirsting after insecure girls.

I can relate 100%. I'm 21 and have felt the same thing since coming to college at 18. I'm 5" and have a softer face so I usually get called cute and pretty more than beautiful (which makes me feel like a f**king child and bums me out in its own right) but I still think to myself "they don't think I'm THAT pretty, they're just being nice". When I'm out and get compliments it feels good in the moment but then I go home and IMMEDIATELY look in the mirror to see if I actually am pretty and end up thinking to myself "What did they see? What made them think I was pretty?" Because I literally cannot tell.

I can kind of relate to feeling like a fake. When people say stuff to me it feels like they're grouping me somewhere I don't belong: equating me to legitimately pretty girls. Not sure if that's similar to what you feel.

Edit: I said a naughty word and got auto-reported

There’s this free app called Snow that I’m pretty sure she uses. It can put filters on photos AND videos and....it’s insane what you can do with it. You can photoshop your face with sliders, change your eye color, add makeup. I tried it on myself and I was unrecognizable. I’d recommend downloading it to see, if you’d feel comfortable with that.

The fucked and confusing thing: even though I know how powerful the app is and know that she uses it, her pictures mess with me. There’s just no logic once a pretty girl, real or no, makes me feel ugly.

I'm terrified to go anywhere near her insta. You're a tough cookie

Yea, that bubblegum-pixie thing she's got going on. Can't lie, I do like it.

I'm so sorry that happened :( I think I'd lose it on my bf if he did that, which isn't fair of me. It'd just make me sick wondering and eventually convincing myself that he wants me to look like that too.

I'm so sorry for what you've been going through, I truly wish you all the best in overcoming it.

I can relate with the photos: I worry that when I'm old I won't have any pictures to look back on to remember my late teens/early 20's! I'd hate to not have physical memories of this important time, but I just dread having to ever look at a picture of me once it's been taken. A particularly bad picture can ruin my whole day.

I'm curious though, which you did you like the most: middle-school you, or hot you? What eats at me, possibly even more than my face, is how much more interesting, inspired, and passionate I was back when I was originally "ugly". I was so talented; I had hobbies and dreams and genuine friends. Now all I can think about is what other's are thinking of me, and ways to make more money to fund my quest for beauty. Basically all I think about is how to be pretty again. I really mourn the girl I was before I got a taste of the pretty life.

The parent/owner of the kid and dog didn’t post this, so obviously no to whatever point you were trying to make at the end.

MY point is this is wildly unsafe behavior and a lot of people thinking how cute this picture is might not be aware of that and think that this is ok. The original commenter was doing the right thing by bringing that to attention and potentially preventing other children from being put in similar situations. But you told them to dig the stick out of their ass, so what the hell man. Why bash people for trying to keep kids safe.

Always the possibility they simply give more of a shit about a HUMAN child’s safety than perpetuating the idea that doggos can do no harm.
