Im in high school (17, girl) and this happened to me and I have noone to talk to about this. This has made me so sad because my self esteem doesn’t exist and that comment really made me feel horrible.

There is a guy in my class who came up to me from nowhere and said ”wow, you really look like shrek”. And I didn’t reply and he went away.
I am always quiet, and I have never done/said anything mean to him or anyone else. I really just mind my own business everyday and show to school for class, that’s it. I have a few friends but I am not popular at all.

We have been in the same class now for 2 years and I swear I did not have this coming.
He has alot of confidence and walks with so much esteem and is talkative. I guess you could say he’s popular but not the QB, homecoming king or anything like that.

Please help me, I don’t want to post pictures but I feel like the most hideous waste of space now.

I am unkempt and in terrible shape btw. But still he said it to me from nowhere.

How do i feel better now?

He should have much worse self esteem than you. He is a bully, and will not have a happy life.

You sound sensitive and thoughtful. High school can be very rough, even for those who appear confident on the outside. But, it goes by fast.

When you are older, you will realize your many gifts and talents. Social media makes that hard right now. Is there a nice person, like you, that you could talk to? Another quiet kid who can relate to how you are feeling? A school counsellor? A caring teacher or relative?

You need a hug. I bet if you ask anyone who knows you well, they will share a long list of positive qualities about you. Please don't sit by yourself with this and be sad. Reach out to a kind person.

Before too long, that loser guy will be a blip in your rearview mirror. You will be zooming ahead to the exciting future that is out there waiting for you.

Being able to share here, and having you wonderful people reply is crazy to me. I can’t believe it. Thank you so much❤️

He is not confident. Confident people don't make comments like he did.

This. He's an insecure jackass.

High school kids can be cruel dumbasses. OP: just because he said it doesn’t mean it’s true. Keep your chin up. By college, all sorts of people will find you pretty or hot. Hang in there and devote no more time to what that guy thinks about anything.

OMG that guy's a moron. Of course you don't look like Shrek, no one does. He's a dimwit.

If you don't feel attractive there are lots you can do- in high school I decided I wanted to look hot so I: started doing home workout videos daily, cleaned up my diet, got a new haircut,& went to the MAC makeup counter and asked for a everyday look, bought as many of the products I could afford & started wearing more flattering clothes.

Viola- same person felt super confident and started getting asked out a ton. There's a LOT to be said for how you carry yourself.

And you're in high school- your best years are yet to come!

Decide who's opinion matters to you. I honestly don't care about people's opinions unless they're people I view as intelligent or interesting. He sounds like neither. F*** him. He's a speck of dust & doesn't matter.

it’s crazy because when he walked it looked like it he was walking on air. It’s hard to explain but some people that look really confident always walk with such pride like they own the place.. thank you ❤️
