Do any gulls have advice on coping with a really unfortunate / ugly face? I'm saving up to get a rhinoplasty, cheek reduction, and something to fix my hairline, but it's going to be a long time til I can afford those things. In the meantime how do I cope from day to day? Any and all advice is welcome.

Not a gull, but something some.females did for the ego boost was camwhoring, nowdays you can get away with showing virtually nithing on chaturb.ate and still recieve compliments, offcourse a thousand dudes will want to see more, so it's on you. You can start by not showing face, and yeah it's indeed a good practice to not do so at all if you plan to show a lil something, cappers gonna cap. So yeah it's on you how to approach this. Just don't get addicted to it like a subhuman, a subset if this is making athread of your own on /soc/ or /b/ if ur hardcore.

Honestly you have to step back and ask yourself if you are actually as ugly as you think you are. Even the prettiest girls still have something about their face they don't like. Not to mention almost everyone on social media (lolita or not) uses some kind of face tune/ editing / face blurring that can even be used on videos so some of those 'perfect' faces aren't even real. Maybe play around with a more flattering hair style, do your make up differently to highlight your best features etc.... I personally was "blessed" with a long italian nose which I always thought made me look like a witch, but honestly I'm the only one obsessing about my nose no one else ever cares. We are our harshest critics after all.

I think proper skincare and bodycare might help you a bit. Face is not everythin, y'know. Having beautiful skin or hair is sth that really makes even an average girl look much better, or so i think. You can check korean skin care routine if you want, it's kinda expensive (you use a lot of different kind of products) but it's totally worth it. Hope you'll make you feel a bit better about yourself.

You know, i really dont think physical features are as important as a well balanced coord anyways. You should do it. As long as everything else about your coord is 10/10 your face wont even matter. Good hair and makeup can go a long way. And if you still feel really insecure about it, you can always put a sticker over your face or just not post your coords.

Not sure how popular this advice will be on cgl, but from one ugly girl to another: learn to accept yourself the way you are.

I know that probably seems impossible. But I think there's a huge difference between loving yourself and accepting yourself. You don't have to love yourself to learn to be okay with the way you look. But if you never accept yourself, then you will always be miserable, because you'll always be chasing an unrealistic ideal.

Once you accept your natural features, it's much easier to figure out which parts of you are more pleasing and which need the most work. For example: perhaps your nose is too big or crooked, but you have nice eyes. Draw attention to your eyes, and people won't notice your nose as much. Get a good skincare routine going that makes you happy to take care of yourself. Find out what makeup suits you best, and find out which hairstyles/colors look best on you. If you have a weird hairline, maybe you could get bangs. As far as clothes go, find out which cuts and which colors are most flattering on you. Styling can take you a long way.

One day (hopefully) you will be old and wrinkled and ugly, and so will everyone else. It sucks not being the pretty girl who everyone falls in love with at first sight, especially when so much of our culture and social interactions are based upon ideals of beauty. But I promise you will be much happier if you stop spending so much time focusing on surgeries and procedures that will make you look how you think you should look, and spend more time taking care of yourself and enjoying life with the face nature gave you.

I know this reply: >>10252450 is 90% trolling but there are a lot of 'constructive criticism' type threads on /soc/ where people who think they're ugly post their faces and get genuine feedback on how they can improve. If you post wearing casual clothes in /soc/ then nobody will know where you're from as presumably you don't want to do it here. I'd recommend not preempting your post with which parts you think are unattractive though, it can be easy to second guess yourself and think a feature uglier than it really is.

I'd help you if I could anon, I don't give a shit if people are ugly or pretty or anything but I am very honest and will give you reasonable feedback. I have no interest in shaming people for how they look, but I'd tell you what I think is wrong and what isn't.

Having a pretty face structure is only one small part of what makes someone attractive. You have to work with what you've got.

-Lose weight, gain muscle, eat healthy. It matters.

-Wear flattering clothes. Avoid waists that are too high/low. Wear shoes+hemlines that flatter your legs. Wear stuff that fits. Build a nice wardrobe.

-Hair! Make sure it's healthy (don't damage it with at-home dye jobs, diy bleach, excessive heat, etc.). Make sure the color and cut flatter you (have to colored and cut at a GOOD salon). Learn to style it well. Learn to add little touches like braids or fancy clips.

-Learn to do your makeup well, especially your foundation. Lumpy cakeface texture enhances any flaws you have. Beautiful makeup distracts from those flaws.

-BE REALISTIC about how you AND other people look. 99% of the people you see every day are "ugly" in some way, but you'd never ever notice unless you were really paying attention to their individual features.

Most attractive people have a big nose, or tiny lips, or wide neck, lumpy lovehandles, flabby arms, whatever flaws, but you don't notice. That's because we're not programmed to pay attention to every bit of visual input. Instead, we take the aggregate sum of what makes them attractive or not. If there's more attractive traits (nice hair, nice style, healthy body, clean neat clothes, manicure, good makeup, personality) than unattractive traits (big nose, wide cheeks) we don't think "that person is ugly", we think they look good.

It really sucks because I can't wear tank tops or anything that shows off too much of my back because of how insecure i feel about it. Yet strangely, i don't feel so bad about the scars on my face because i am so used to having to go out without makeup on.

On top of that, I don't have the prettiest face either. My nose could be smaller and I have a five head. I would never get a nose job because I don't want to fuck my shit up even more.

I wish i could get over it.

You can get a non surgical nose job and see how it works for you? It’s not permanent if it’s filler so worst case scenario is if you don’t like it you can probably get it dissolved or just wait 6-8 months till it dissolves on its own

Not entirely. Most men let girls with really pretty faces get pretty chunky before they take an issue with it, where as a girl with an average face they wouldn’t put up with it. A pretty face goes farther than people want to admit it does.

There are ways to lose face fat, but judging by other answers your appearance is the least of an issue. You're straight unlikeable.

Can confirm, cunts excusing themselves with "mental health" problems they "can't fix" deserve violent backlash. I'm a schizo and even if 60% depends on diet and medication, the rest 40% is controllable and depends on your willpower and everyday choices. Wannabe passive agro anxietyfags keep whining about lack of control. Ngmi

Your shit attitude is holding yourself back and is probably hurting your brother too. Maybe re-examine yourself

Nayrt but if someone's basal ganglia are broken and he has bad motor functions because of that, you can accept it, but if the broken basal ganglia causes emotional dysfunction it's because he has a bad attitude?

Didn't read the whole thing, but you seem a really good person anon.
Be yourself and don't worry about your face - someone likes weird and ugly faces as well.
You can use that as a trait of personality that makes you unique if done well.
Don't mind the insults.

I own a couple of veils from Evintageveils on etsy, they're expensive but really really nice.

You should look into microneedling. It is FDA approved for fading acne scars.

Different anon. He doesn't read as female at all in drag, but his makeup is pretty good ngl. But I don't think that was at all what he was going for.

Follow your kibbe type. Check out Aly Art's videos on youtube. Once you arrange your makeup, hair, and clothes to suit you, it might not seem like your features are "unfortunate" anymore.
