Think of that beautiful Ronald Dahl quote:

“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

This is really true. When a person is smiling and happy, you tend to focus on that emotion more than the person's actual appearance. Biologically, a person's emotion is more important than their appearance, because that's how others can determine if that person is a threat. Therefore, emotion is what people focus on.

+1 try again.

Honestly, I bet you do have natural beauty. You've just been brainwashed to think you don't, so you will spend more money.

You probably look okay/good, OP.

Enjoy it while lasts. Things get worse.

You probably have a great smile and laugh, pretty hands, and/or it's easy for you to find flattering clothes. Everybody has something, OP.

Get your colors done. Your face will light up

Agree with getting a new haircut, fresh highlights. Not that many people are just naturally beautiful.

Use makeup and get a hair makeover.

IMO, most women don't have natural beauty, especially those in the media. They are all botoxed up, go see a dermatologist every week, and of course the plastic surgery.

Being thin is nothing to sneeze at. It's hard for most women to stay thin.

Confidence, makeup and nice clothes can take you far. If you are fit than you're probably more attractive than half the population! Seriously though, insecurity is bad energy and will impact your overall attractiveness. Be an interesting person with nice packaging and you won't have to worry about natural beauty. It fades anyway.

If it bothers you this much, look into Botox/dysport/facial procedures.

Injectibles can alter your appearance.

Also, make sure you groom well—have a good hairstyle with nice highlights, do makeup well. Plenty of “Plain Jane” types have used these tactics to appear hot. Maybe get a boob job

I'm about to sound like I'm 13 with these petty insecurities, but I'm actually 30.

I just wish I were pretty, like naturally pretty, but I'm not. I have nothing striking about me and I'm just plain. Dull, downturned eyes, no high cheekbones, no good bone structure at all, no defined jawline, face totally flat and bland, boring up-and-down straight figure, nothing that shows any natural femininity. The only thing I naturally have going for me is my weight, I'm thin but not strikingly so either. Just average height and normal/below average weight, so being Not Fat is basically the only attractive thing about me. It's like I was made this way so that beautiful people could be appreciated for being beautiful.

I'm also just whitest of white. I've done one of those DNA tests hoping that there would be some surprises but I am Anglo through and through. A basic WASP but without the money. I've been insecure about that my whole life because I have always longed to be a part of a culture. Any culture. And that's such a stupid basic white girl thing to fret about.

Yes beauty comes from the inside, yeah yeah, but is it so wrong to wish I were pretty?
