Have you ever been called ugly?

[Anonymous]

If I had a nickle for every time my relatives asked after my beautiful sisters I would be a millionaire.

My mother said I was "interesting-looking."

My husband tells me I'm beautiful, and I don't believe him. I do say thank you.

No. And I've been overweight my whole life. Some mean girls in middle school have called me fat. But no one has ever called me ugly (at least to my face)

Whatever . I was the hot stupid girl, now the hot rich girl. Not to mention no student loans.

Gold digger?

I have a question. Where did some of you go to school that this kind of stuff was allowed in front of teachers. There was an ugliest girl superlative in your yearbook?? Wtf?

It's called recess!

I went to "good" high school here in MoCo. Several boys in my English class openly sexually harassed me. My (female) teacher pretended not to hear or notice and just let it go on. I was a very shy girl from a poor immigrant family and terrified of making waves, so I never stood up for myself. It was a TERRIBLE semester. Teachers won't do crap to help if it means a hassle for them.

not all of us

There was a gang member who sexually harassed the girls and bullied the boys. I pushed him to threaten me b/c I knew what buttons to push. Admin FINALLY removed him from school. We're not all the same.

You're right, I shouldn't have generalized. Maybe another teacher would have helped me. That one didn't. I should be over it by now...

This is so bizarre to me. Isn’t everyone called ugly at some point in their childhood? I was for sure, but self worth comes from inside. Why would I base my self identity on what some random persons side comment? I get it if it’s your mom or sad. I don’t have sibs but it seems like they are often assholes just because. Anyway, I’ve been plain/unattractive, very attractive and back to plain/unattractive in my life. Not tons of difference to me. Pluses and minuses both ways. I’m 48, happily married with kids.

This is only what ugly people say .

Yes, by my mother, brother, uncle, friends of friends, and colleagues. I used to think that maybe I was okay looking but eventually accepted my ugliness.

Um...no?

Dh was facetiming his best friend tonight and I walked over to say hi and the friend asked "Oh damn are you mad?" so now I'm wondering if I'm ugly.

Not everyone, but I would imagine the majority of girls have been. Kids are assholes.

It's more like if you don't have a smile ear to ear at every possible moment and especially in front of camera, you must be mad

You know what is weird? Of the people that mad me feel attractive or not - it was the hot guys made me feel like I was beautiful, the only one in the room; and the not so hot guys made me feel like the consolation prize.

So yeah, GFY not so hot guys!

I was always fat/chubby and my family rode me hard about that but none of my peers seem to care because I am realizing as I type this, none of them ever commented on me or my weight. I developed an eating disorder anyway.

I was never overweight, but my sister was “the thin one”. A boy in high school told me I would be “perfect” if I dropped 10 pounds and lo and behold, I dropped 35 with a raging eating disorder I still live with a decade later. Yay!
