why do I still feel like this?

I wasn't sure where to post this so I posted it here.


My hubby calls me beautiful and makes me feel beautiful as well. but sometimes I see a girl on tv and I still start to think "I wish I looked as pretty as that" but I know I'm not ugly but they are times where I feel ugly. Its not anything my husband is saying or doing because he raises my self esteem high and makes me feel on top on the world. I'm not sure why I still feel like that sometimes even though my husband makes me feel great everyday for the past three years we have been together. Before I got with my husband I used to feel ugly all the time. I was called ugly a lot in highschool. these thoughts don't happen a lot just sometimes. but I do wish they would stop all together.

A lot of people experience things like this. Take myself for example; I know I'm not ugly by any means but there are still times where I see 'good looking' guys on TV and wish I were like them, to the point where I start feeling a bit ugly.

I've never had a lot of luck with girls throughout my life probably because of my social skills, but still, there are times where I wonder about how attractive I may be to other people.

In short, a lot of people (for many reasons) feel low about their appearance after seeing a really good looking person. Fact is: you don't have to be a Brad Pitt or Jessica Alba to encounter people who like you. You yourself said you had a husband who really likes you and who makes you feel great everyday. That's great!

For you, you're probably thinking these thoughts because of the bullying you suffered in high school. I can't guarantee that you'll move on altogether, but you can at least try to put it behind you and start thinking about the present. You've already got what most of us want in life, A partner!

Everyone gets these thoughts every once in a while. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Their inevitable because we all have our off days where we just don't feel great. When you're feeling like this, talk to your hubby about it. It seems like he is real good for your self esteem and would make your feel better right away. But like I said, we all get these feelings. And there is always going to seemingly be someone prettier then they are. But when you see these girls on TV, remind yourself that it's TV. Also, remind yourself of all the lovely things about yourself. Replay the things your boyfriend says to you in your head. It should really help. But just know that you're beautiful. You don't have to look like a TV star to be beautiful, either.

Take care<3

As the others have said, everyone feels like this sometimes. It's great that your hubby makes you feel beautiful. Being called ugly when you're younger, well, at any point in your life, is horrible, but it doesn't mean you are ugly. Definitely not. Perhaps try to remember what your husband thinks of you when you feel like this, even go talk to him to make you feel better. Or do something really nice for yourself. I know that when I feel ugly sometimes it helps to do something relaxing or nice for myself to take my mind off it until the feelings go away.
