How to get over being called ugly?

It hurts, and I know you're not supposed to let it get to you, but that's hard.

Update:

He said I was ugly because of my tired looking eyes. :(

    What a jerk, don't pay any attention to him. He's obviously a pig with nothing better to do than give girls low self esteem. I'm sure he has his flaws too, just point them out to him next time.

    Don't spend your time feeling low about an off-handed comment, beauty is subjective, so you will be beautiful to someone else.

    You've probably hear this before. But looks don't matter as much as personality. What counts is what is on the inside and the person who called you ugly is the uglier one because they are the one with the crap personality and the need to put everyone down to make themselves feel better. Also, remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's completely subjective. If you think you are pretty then that will radiate outwards and give you confidence which is beautiful in itself. Also if you are self conscious about your looks you can definitely have the ability to change something to boost your confidence (not by plastic surgery lol :/) but the person who put you down like that can not change their ugly personality. Keep your head high and know that even if your looks are not the typical magazine type there are many people who think you are beautiful, physically and emotionally out there. Don't let this one person bring you down because you are so much more than that (:

    Get over it. Move on! Try to do things to make yourself feel better!

    .. Haha jk. That's all bullshit advice given by people who haven't been through it.

    Personally, I got extremely insecure for sooo long because of it. I was called ugly 5th-7th grade. Then I was called a whore and names in the hall. I literally just got over it last week. Kind of pitiful right?

    ... I guess I just learned for myself that whatever people opinions are doesn't matter at all. People called me ugly and "emo" because of my appearance so you know what I did? I bleached my hair and dyed it pink, stretched my ears, and wore black ripped clothes. Why? It made me happy. Why else? It made me happier to know that certain people are going to call me ugly even if I look like a Victoria Secret model... But at least *I* can be happy while enduring it. Everyone gets called ugly by someone. IT DOESN'T MATTER. You won't know them for long. Do what makes YOU happy.

    Really that's definitely not true! And I also know that the reasons people say that is because they are jealous of your beauty and want to bring you down because of it. Also it's not about how pretty you ate on the outside its about what's on the inside and they could always be joking and not really know its hurting your feelings.

    So don't let them get I your head you are beautiful no matter what anyone thinks because its not there opinion that matters it's yours.

    Sweety, if someone was ugly, no one would ever tell that person that they were ugly. Considering you were called ugly, it is merely jealous girls whom would say such a thing to a beautiful person in hopes of putting her down, do not let it get to you... in this case YOU! You're beautiful! FORGET WHOM EVER SAID IT AND MOVE ON & BE BETTER THAN THEY CAN EVER BE! SMILE AND BE HAPPY! :)

    Whoever said that is a rude hateful person. First it`s God creation not the person choice. Second who asked them for their opinion? Third beauty is subjective. Even the less fortunate woman in the department of looks is considered pretty to some people. And finally I bet the one who said that is no aphrodite herself, and even if she/he was, their attitude will cost them a lot of trouble in the future

    Honeslty if it was a guy who said it to you he's an asshole, if i got the honour of meeting you I would tell you that you're beuatiful over and over again :)

    I doubt your ugly! Some people say that because they feel ugly themselves.

  • 8 years ago

    Do things that make you feel beautiful! And know, that everyone had problems and if people call u that its probably because they have problems and don't know how to deal with them. Do things to get it off your mind

    If it was by a girl then she is just being hateful >.> Girls are nasty sometimes. If it was a guy then he is just an asshole, brush it off.
