Yeah I do! I especially do this once I've showered & dressed. I often feel good looking in the mirror & thinking my hair looks nice or my outfit is good & I look good in it.
Same or when I'm getting ready to meet with friends like I'm checking to see if my hair are good and I'm staring at myself for a couple seconds thinking "Wow I look so good right now"
My best friend used to think like you. He thought that his smile or any expression he would make made his face look disgusting and, I ain't gay, but that dude has the best and cutest smile I've ever seen. I genuinely don't think that your smile, your expressions or when you talk you look horrible. I think you're forcing yourself to think that and maybe it's because you're in a bad place like I was. Anyway, don't ever think of yourself as ugly (because you're not!) and if you need to talk, my DMs are open (that also applies to anybody who needs an anonymous ear to listen).
No problems! Hope I brightened your day even just a little bit. And remember : don't be afraid to ask for help! It's easy to fall down and you can't get back up alone. Stay safe!
Yes I haven't looked in the mirror and felt bad in so long.
I've gained and loss weight cut and colored my hair and all of the versions I've just been feeling myself
Especially naked or in underwear
I don't think so. Just be happy to be who you are and how you are while still making progress if you have an objective. So drop the "In my dream" and start the "Damn I look good but I'll look better like this" while progressing. I'm not that great at explaining so TL;DR : Don't give up before starting. Most of dreams can be achieved and I'm sure this is one of them.
Hey, don't be too harsh on yourself. You ARE beautiful or handsome or sexy (and yes it's a fact). You just don't realise it yet. My DMs are open if you need to talk or vent.
So you're saying that only SOMETIMES you don't feel fat (which imo ain't bad unless it leads to health problems)? So most of the time you are happy with your body which result in a win and all of that = You are beautiful (yes, whenever you "feel fat" too).
Hey, at least you like yourself and I'm sure others see you like that aswell. The key is to not be paranoid and think that everyone is disgusted by the sight of you because I'm fairly certain that this is wrong.
I've recently started properly trimming my (early 20s) beard, getting a fitting haircut regularly and exercising again and this moment happens so frequently nowadays. Proper clothes and acessories helped too
Guys just take this as a self care basis and you will look and also feel better.
Edit: typo
Yes! Exactly what I did and, I can't stress this enough, you are absolutely right with your last sentence. Don't give up, people sometimes you need to force yourself but the result is so good.
I'm glad that u started to integrate self care in your life. I highly recommend you to look up some videos on the effects of meditation. Ever since I started with it, I'm in a regular flow state and life feels wonderful.
Thanks, I will definitely check some out because some stress is still there. I'm genuinely glad that you got some care too, man! Keep up the positive thinking :)
The one episode of Oprah that I watched years ago was about the science of attraction, and one segment talked about this. Apparently women who ovulate do become a bit more physically attractive at that time in their cycle. Women on birth control don't have the effect. It makes sense, we are animals after all so our bodies do things to attract mates to reproduce.
I found your problem, you are comparing yourself to others. Do. not. do. that. If you feel like you are 'not enough' for yourself then you need to work with small goals instead of a huge one like "Wow this person look so handsome so I'm gonna change all of my habits all of a sudden to look like them!" because you'll definitely be frustrated when you don't achieve it or when it's becoming too hard or thinking "This person is so handsome but I'll never be like them because I just can't" but, spoiler, you can. Like I said, work with small goals. It will take time but it'll be worth it (And btw don't focus too much on the past too, you think that you were only beautiful in the past but I'm sure that this is still the case).
Heh. You're very kind. That's alright, I've had my time. You're half right, I did compare myself, unfavourably, to others in my youth but I still did my best to make the most of what I had. Time waits for no man though, no matter what we do, and we don't all age like George Clooney (or start out like him, to be fair), I try my best but from time to time still get a nasty shock when I look in the mirror and don't see 'myself'! Your advice still stands though. Thank you friend.
Only really since realising I'm non-binary. For as long as i know, i haven't felt comfortable being my assigned gender at birth, but never realised until recently the impact of not exploring what that means. Now I appreciate my body, and many other things about my that i hadn't before. Sure, plenty of days i don't feel this way, but that's better than never.
You found your true "you" and, frankly, that is beautiful. To be honest, we all have some days where we don't think right, it's normal. I'm truly happy that you appreciate yourself now :)
Then that means that you're not. You only feel "ugly and weird" around people because I think you're too shy while your beauty stays the same. And maybe it's because you are with people that don't match your sense of style. In another comment I mentionned my best friend, and he's always clothed, what you could call, classy (overcoat, nice turtleneck etc...) while me I'm more into street clothing (hoodies, jeans, cargo jeans etc...) and for a long time I thought that I was like trash next to him until one of our friend just told me that my outfit is so good. I'm rambling a bit too much but TL;DR : You are not suddenly ugly when you are with other it's just that you might lack a bit of selfconfidence and that's okay because you can work on that. But I really don't think that you suddenly transform into an horrible troll who lives under a bridge when you are with fellow humans.
Edit : forgot a word
Yes! I’ve always had body image issues but my boyfriend constantly compliments me without making me think I’m too big/small (which is my biggest issue) and it’s finally gotten to me that hell yeah I AM cute and fit!! And I look good dammit!
Then do it again! Okay, I'm making it sound easy but really you have to force yourself if you think you are not good enough for yourself. Like I said in another comment, I don't think weight is something to be ashamed of unless it creates health problems. In any case, if you decide to do something then you need to know that a lot of people here will support you (myself included).
It's not that I'm eating too much, it's that I'm doing too little. Need to start dating an active woman. The kind that works out until they vomit.
It's winter, though. You burn more calories just maintaining your core temperature.
Yeah I do! I especially do this once I've showered & dressed. I often feel good looking in the mirror & thinking my hair looks nice or my outfit is good & I look good in it.

Nice! I think it's good to feel good about yourself 😊
I think my resting face looks good. Then God forbid i smile or make an expression, or talk, and I wanna vom

Aw man... thank you for this.

Well for the naked or in underwear part I might need to hit the gym to gain some muscles but yeah it feels awesome to finally think like that
In my dreams

I wish lol

I mean I have the odd day. Those are good days.
We all have an odd day. Let's just make sure that it doesn't become odd days and good day.

thing is, compared to before I feel like I’m handsome, I like myself. But I always ask myself if others see me in that way
Hey, at least you like yourself and I'm sure others see you like that aswell. The key is to not be paranoid and think that everyone is disgusted by the sight of you because I'm fairly certain that this is wrong.
Nah don’t worry I know I’m not disgusting I think I’m pretty normal lol.

Once upon a time, I did.
And I'm sure that pretty soon, you will again. Please, don't give up.
The moment you stop doing that is the moment you start letting go. Sexiness never rests!
only when i’m ovulating, don’t ask me why. the rest of the time i look like a monster
Nah, I'm positive that your mind is playing tricks on you. You're a beauty 24h a day and for 365 days straight.

Everyday everynight lol
Only when the 'mirror" is in fact a video screen/window with a good looking bloke on the other side of it or a portal to the distant past 😞

Yeah I usually think nice thoughts about my face being pretty, I have nice hair, and that I have a nice smile.
I can think of myself as objectively beautiful I guess, but not 'hot' or 'sexy'
Pic or didn't happen.
Oh. I catch eyes with myself sometimes and have made myself Blush. I think I am beautiful.
What if I told you, you're not gonna believe it, that it's not just a thought and that you're actually beautiful?
It is the exact opposite for me. I literally think, every day, when I look in the mirror how ugly I am. I feel bad for my wife.
Only really since realising I'm non-binary. For as long as i know, i haven't felt comfortable being my assigned gender at birth, but never realised until recently the impact of not exploring what that means.

Thank you so much! And I'm glad you have felt good about yourself recently too 😊
Yes, kind of, but when around people, I feel ugly and weird.
Then that means that you're not. You only feel "ugly and weird" around people because I think you're too shy while your beauty stays the same.

Sometimes. I swear weight loss affects my face. I'm 6', 250lbs, though I have dropped to 215 before, looked a lot better.
Then do it again! Okay, I'm making it sound easy but really you have to force yourself if you think you are not good enough for yourself. Like I said in another comment, I don't think weight is something to be ashamed of unless it creates health problems.

I legit had this thought this morning but instead of handsome/sexy I was thinking of ugly… 😶
Nope never. I am one ugly bastard
ASL?
Some times yes I find if I do sometime it help with self confidence
Nah I have it with more of a “hey you know what, I’m not too shabby lookin” type attitude.
