PP here - it had a serious impact on me for many, many years. now at 54, I could not care less.

In middle school, almost wanted to cry then I realized they were uglier and I shouldn't care about people i don't even know

Huh, last week at the Starbucks in Rockville. I was having a slovenly moment (just came from mammogram and ultrasound appts) so I was in sweats with my hair up in a messy bun and stopped for a coffee. A man dressed very nicely walked past the chair I was sitting in and told me I was an ugly mess and I should do something about my situation. I got another shot of coffee poured into my drink and left, crying. It was a shitty morning and he made it a shitty day. Thanks a......

My husband called me a dick-faced moron once. There aren’t even any Google results for dick-faced moron. He never called me it again and I think he’s forgotten. But I remember it every single time we have relations and he touches my face.

As a teen, and then a mom friend said I looked like Elizabeth Moss once which made me feel terrible because I think she looked awful. Another person said I looked like a fatter Julie Delpy (also lovely)

That man would not still be my spouse after saying that to me. Holy hell, PP.

No. But called “fat” before—and I wasn’t fat but I had a complex and body dysmorphia ever since high school because of it.

Never. I guess I was pretty enough as a kid and young woman. At 42, I have aged like milk and look like a gangly witch. I do have a wonderful family and good career but can hardly look in the mirror!

I grew into my looks around age 15 but am still super insecure and use my appearance as a crutch.

And I turned out to be pretty and got tons of male attention. Total whiplash. Those words never leave you though. I was also poor in a rich town and grew to my full height in 5th grade, was the first to get my period...being big and awkward was not good. On the bright side, if I had peaked in prettiness in middle school or early high school then I never would have worked my tail off and 988-9656 8gone to Harvard

So lucky, pp.

See how bad things can ultimately turn out to be the very best to have ever happen to you.

Jesus, I can't imagine gossiping about someone's looks. How stupid. Those women are idiots, PP. And your students shouldn't be passing that along to you, either.

Any teachers participating in that gossip are absolute trash. I wouldn't tolerate it for 2 seconds if I was a parent who heard it or a coworker. I would be in the office so fast ratting out those substandard jerks. I'm so sorry you are experiencing this.

I'm so sorry that happened to you but you know deep down that any person who would talk to a stranger like that has some serious mental issues. This really speaks more to their mental illness than to how you look. You had a scary, challenging day and some mentally ill nut decided to dump on you. You know he is scary irl.

Yes, all of my life, in various ways. And I am ugly, so I don't even really take much offense, but more just think it's stupid to point out the obvious.
