my experience going from ugly to attractive

Similar story here. I was quite forgettable until age 28, then suddenly was considered hot as hell for 20 years. But because it happened so late, I never learned to 'work it' to my advantage and was still shy and unconfident for 10 of them, and declined dozens of sincere advances because I couldn't bring myself to believe they were real.

[@robrot404]

I can relate to this a lot, although I only started working on my appearance after high school, but hey better late than never. Before that, people especially girls either ignored me at best and made fun of me at worst. Making friends was very difficult and on multiple occasions I got told I had a "rat like appearance" and I look like a "nerd who never goes outside". After I started changing, I suddenly noticed a huge shift in how people treat me; Everyone was a lot nicer to me all of a sudden and I was very confused as to why, and not only that they suddenly had an interest in getting to know me. Even better, I finally got approached by girls, some of whom very boldly proclaimed their sexual attraction to me, while the girls I already knew reveal that they were "into me all along", and I got to go out with 2 of my HS crushes, even hooked up with one of them. But none of it made me feel good about myself. Inside, I still feel like the ugly, "rat-like" kid I used to be. If anything, my resentment towards other people only grew stronger because it made me realise how cruel most people are to others just because of their looks. Trust me, I understand what it's like and it's a crushing feeling. But perhaps it will make you feel better to know that understanding what such rejection feels like, you can help others and be a kind and considerate person, a beacon of light in a world full of shallow people.

[@novagalaxy342]

I think this happens a lot in high school and early twenties, but usually after around age 24-26, it's not much of a big deal, and after 30, a lot of people are more relaxed afterwards. However with today's dating market, a lot of women look for status, money, what the guy has to offer as in personality, finances, and along with height and the way your body looks.

[@johnryan3913]

[@2000vv]

I've gone through this exact thing, and it really changes my perspective on society. Middle school and the beginning of high school were the worst periods of my life. I wasn't "attractive", I was very shy and introverted (undiagnosed anxiety) and had interests that at the time were deemed to be weird and made people not want to approach me. I had trouble making friends, I was always jealous of the people around me. It was hard for me to find the courage to speak to people and I never really fit in with any groups or friend groups (until about 8th grade). People talked about me, judged me for what I liked, and purposely avoided me. I felt like a foreign object. It was during this time in which I was also discovering myself and just trying to understand who I was as a person. The transition from middle school to high school was the worst, my middle school "friend group" fell out and everyone changed (mostly for the worst.) Everyone was finding new interests and new things and going onto I guess more "mature" things and I was still stuck in my middle schooler mindset. I would also like to add that throughout this a whole phase in my life I was constantly rejected by guys that I would crush on and even sometimes got disgusted faces towards me if I ever even confessed. This of course had a lot of damage on my self esteem thus leading me to be very insecure. I guess things started taking a bit of a turn when I got into doing makeup, cleaning up my style and caring more for others' opinions. Also, around this time I ended up switching schools which, I was very frightened of and got into a few arguments with my mom about it because I was a very insecure person who did not have the courage to approach others. I thought I was going to get judged and cast aside by the people at my new school just like the people who I grew up going to school with did, but I didn't. I actually started to notice people's behaviors completely changing. Because I had matured a bit more, wore makeup, and dressed nice for a change people actually started approaching me. It was very overwhelming. I was having all these things happen to me which I had never even expected to experience. Guys would talk to me, people would be nicer to me and instead of getting looks of disgust or having people snicker and laugh at me people actually smiled and got nervous around me. It was a scary change. I can't say that I haven't really accepted the fact that I'm "pretty" because I feel like I know it to a small extent, but sometimes I kind of regress back to that state I was in before I became attractive. I'm still the same girl from middle school, same interests, same humor and everything. Nothing has changed about me other than my looks, but I feel as if I'm a completely different person at the same time.

[@schwiftydog]

You weren't ugly,trust me it was just the people around you.

[@creator000]

I understand completely what you are saying. People can be so callous without thinking of the consequences of what they say. They might not even mean what they say but say it to get a laugh or reaction from their mates. It must be hugely uncomfortable to have heard what you did from just outside the room and yes I understand why you withdrew from socialising after that. The trouble there is you are accepting what you heard as real when you shouldn't because that was only one or two girls opinion in any case. Don't let it affect you in any way, put it down to experience like many of us do. Move on without looking back at those days. When we are young we mostly have puppy fat that might make us look ugly or ordinary. We don't get all our features until we become a full grown adult. It's like the ugly duckling becoming a beautiful swan, we develop our mind and body as we age, and we all go through something similar as we grow up. Don't let the negativities define you but let them make you stronger. You are intelligent and mighty handsome too. I see you having a great relationship in the future because you are kind and thoughtful. Throw away that anxiety you once had and become the man you want to be. You can and will be a success. Grab life by the balls and be that man. And good luck bro, it won't all happen at once but it will when you are ready for it. Let it develop in your own time. 👍

I'm not sure I'm in the "attractive" stage just yet, but I was often spoken to at school in the same way special education children are. Popular or "attractive" kids try to be friendly and make it seem like they want some kind of empty friendship because it amuses them for whatever reason. I've noticed it's stopped since the middle of freshman year. Now that people don't talk to me out of pity, they don't talk to me at all, and I'm waiting to see if a change in my physical appearance somewhere down the line does anything for me.

[@johnryan3913]

@@SC_Shuga This whole experience is traumatizing. It changes you. Work on developing an authentic and likeable personality, and confidence in who you are, and stop depending on becoming physically attractive.

You were lucky. I was bullied from first grade though eleventh grade. Daily. I was even bullied at work. You're right. When it happens to you in school, it sticks with you, sometimes for life. However, when it came to work, I took comfort in knowing that the people doing the bullying weren't half as smart as me or could do the level of work I did. Which is probably WHY they did the bullying.

[@adrianhempfing2042]

Lil bro had a real glow up . Sucks though humans superficial

[@TalkyMikey]

Brother listen, you are an attractive dude, engrave that in your mind and keep it there. Kids in School play dumbass social games, and want to come off as confident rather than to be truly confident, because they have nothing to be confident about (I mean like steady income, no worries about your future, etc etc). Life outside school is so much different, you will cherish every friendly interaction with another human outside of controlled environments like school or College or Uni. People absolutely do judge you by your appearance, thats true but you have zero problems in that department. Be yourself, have a good moral compass, develop a great character, dont become a douchebag and you will be golden. Respect your elders, respect those who are weaker than you, and just be friendly overall. There are alot of good people in the world that are willing to help you or be friendly with you with no motive that you will meet in your life, just don't focus on those who want the worst for you.

I'm genuinely tweaking about the jawline thing: when I turned 18, I decided to hit the gym because up until then I was super ugly (you would hardly recognize me on old class photos). I'm fairly muscular and lean, not much bodyfat, but my face is still puffy. I wish I just had a nice face, people (women specifically) are way more open to you when you have a nice face vs. a nice physique, which often doesn't even show.

[@Idgiot]

my jawline got better when i was barley eating which ig isn’t good advice but ik there’s methods out there to get ur jawline more defined

[@thejedioutcast804]

One more comment: There is countless 5's out there that would immediately shoot up to a 6 or 7 just by having a lower body fat percentage and less round/puffy face. (Hence the jawline starts to show) And that's BEFORE working out and getting buff or lean. (getting lean is better by far Imo) Meaning you have tons of room to grow your physical attractiveness.

[@novagalaxy342]

From my experience in high school which was a long time ago, kids would always say the meanest things and usually are brutal. And sometimes colleges can be nasty as well, I think this issue is more pronounced with teenagers and some people in their early twenties. What a lot of kids don't know is that facial features, height and weight, constantly changes as we grow into adults, everything takes time. And teenagers are still growing, so most of the time, those mean kids don't know what they're talking about. Just ignore them, and the interesting part is just wait and see in five to ten years where those bullies are in their lives, and what they look like. I've ran into some people I knew in high school, and heard stories about kids I used to know.. some have moved out of state, some of them got in trouble are in jail, a couple of suicides, some got married and already divorced, some are doing well, etc. life is unpredictable.

[@johnryan3913]

I went through the same thing at 14-16, right down to a similar incident at a party that horrified me. Btw what do you mean by "grind"? I can think of a couple definitions.... Based on the pictures, you weren't ugly, but lack of confidence can make you feel/seem "uglier" than you are. I was shocked when people started being interested in me or flirting with me. That reinforces the idea that you are ok, which boosts your self image. Fortunately with time people get more mature, too, less mean and - in some cases - even less stupid. Actually I can't disagree with anything you say here, it is a sad reality that people judge on a surface level, and that what is hot or cute changes over different decades, influenced by advertising and fashion. When I was a kid no one would be caught dead in a gym, being really thin was attractive. This was a really interesting vid, and btw your face does have more definition. Do you wear contacts?🫣
