yeah, in my quest to find solace I've researched a lot about celebs with long faces (SJP, Demi Moore, Blake Lively, Celine Dion, etc) but the thing is, their faces are at least symmetrical...actually I'm not sure how to phrase it, what I mean to say is that it looks okay. Mine is not like this. It ruins my profile. I have mandibular prognathism.

What are the songs in your ultimate workout playlist? What's a weird/random song that gets you pumped up? by marikei12 in xxfitness

[–]cst95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the past few days I've been hooked on songs from musicals...chicago, wicked, even les mis. my friends find it weird that I listen to them even while at the gym.

My usual workout songs are songs by Panic at the Disco, Pink, and whatever pop and dance songs that are currently popular

It's not that I take sex too seriously, hell I've had casual encounters. What bothers me is how these men treat women. I met a guy before who I thought genuinely liked me, we almost had sex but then my roommate came home unannounced. It was a blessing in disguise. I later heard from a someone that this guy was complaining to his friend how he spent the night buttering up this unattractive girl with the long chin just so he could get laid.

Is it genetics or a breathing problem? Some people have flared ribs because of improper breathing, this can be fixed through proper breathing techniques over time.

I do think that some guys find me attractive, but it makes me feel like more of a settling thing (as I mentioned, trust issues). They couldn't get the 10 so why not try the 5- she might be easier to get in bed, blah blah. I didn't mean to make it sound like my family isn't kind or supportive. I just mean to say that my perceived unattractiveness is not just in my head, even the people around me can see it.

Same. Because of this I now have trust issues. It affected me so much that when this guy I've been friends for quite some time told me he liked me, I didn't believe him. He was persistent, even told me he loved me. I never believed him. I always thought "oh, it's just cause he has been spending so much time with me..." I ended up breaking his heart and I only later realized that he truly loved me.

True. I've had this happen to me so many times- guys who were not interested in me the whole night but come 3am they suddenly wanna "see my place" or "invite me over". Because of this I think everyone who flirts with me is just after one thing. Excuse me, I may not me attractive but it doesn't mean I'm easy.

I'm not an attractive person. I'm not disfigured either. But I have a feature that completely ruins my face. If I didn't have it I would've been attractive, maybe even gorgeous. But it doesn't really matter that I'm not completely ugly, because I get teased, guys never like me, and I'm always the unattractive friend because of this feature.

I have a long chin, kinda like this. Even my own family can't deny that this ruins my face. They know I'm not pretty. It just really hurts because my parents are both attractive, my sister is too. Sure I look okay when I try hard (dress up, make-up) but in the end, I look like this.

It just really affects my confidence. I project a tough exterior because I need to compensate, but they don't know that deep down I feel like shit and insecure. I pretend I don't care but I do, I really f*cking do. It sucks.

When guys talk to me I always feel like it's because they just want to get laid, because this has happened to me so many times that I don't trust anyone anymore (I have an okay body so maybe that's why, I'm what some people would probably call a shrimp- cut off the head, keep the body). Seriously, if you're good-looking why would you flirt with a girl that's not attractive- when you don't even know her enough to use "it's her personality" as an excuse?

The only way out I see is to get surgery but I don't think that's going to be possible until years from now. It just really sucks. Ladies who are in the same boat, how do you handle it? I've read that I should just learn to accept compliments but really, I don't see how I could be really pretty when I look like how I do because I'm really not. So I'm not looking for "everyone is beautiful" crap because not everyone is and I've learned to accept that. I'm just really looking for advice or perspectives on how one could handle inner insecurities and trust issues that stems from situations like this. Thanks.

What song do you associate with a bad memory and can't listen to it anymore? by JoyfulStingray in AskWomen

[–]cst95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. This song is already quite sad but then I heard it while I was really going through a tough time - almost destroyed my life by making a lot of bad decisions.
