21 [M] Depression/Anxiety make you hate yourself, AIU?

Lately, I've been hating the way I look. People have told me I looked like a monkey my entire life, and the other day a co-worker told me I had a mouth like a cro-magnon (even though the term "cro-magnon" hasn't been used since the 1970's and it now referred to as "early modern humans", dickbag) and it sent me down a self-loathing spiral.

I know I'm no Ryan Gosling, but AIU, r?

Last year - short hair, contacts http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8225/8594393468_1d71b5ce2f_b.jpg

Straight out of shower - no contacts, glasses

People are just straight-out cruel. I don't think you like a monkey, cro-magnon, or a early modern human. You have a great smile & beautiful eyes. Please, please don't let people send you into a self-loathing spiral. I bet people had bad shit to say about Ryan Gosling, too. This world would suck if we all looked alike or looked how people think we should look. I hope this helps.

Agreed. Also I think OP has a cute, indie look about him.

You have a lovely smile, good sense of style, and you look like a really fun guy! I'm not sure what there is to self-loath...

I actually like the glasses on you quite a bit. They really suit you. I also agree with the beard comment, but maybe I just like beards?

Stop worrying so much and just enjoy yourself and your friends and your early twenties :)

No. Might want to experiment with a slightly longer hairstyle though.

My hair poofs out when it's long.

I was thinking around an extra inch or so.

That's not really a good example of what it would be long. Good hair products, a straightening iron, and about six more inches and it would look fine. Also, your cheeks are very unflattering. If you are able to grow a beard I'd recommend it.

Can't really grow a great beard, I don't think. My facial hair is really splotchy, but I could stand to lose some weight in the face/neck.

That's not really a bad thing, that kind of messy is in and it looks good on you. Either way, you look good. Seriously.

So what? Looks fine.

Low maintenance is the way to go. Only girls and fags spend significant time on their hair.

You play guitar? Dude, you're golden.

But really, you're not bad looking at all. I wouldn't break eye contact with you if I passed you on the street, let's say that. Have some confidence in yourself, fake it til you make it!

There's nothing wrong with the way you look, everyone takes criticism from time to time. You're mouth looks kind of like John Travolta's mouth. Not ugly, just masculine.

Definitely don't listen to anyone who gives you negative feedback, I really like how you look. Definitely not ugly :)

I've seen way worse, you can get plenty of pussy as long as you got th econfidence.

I think you're cute. You have very pretty eyes and super kissable lips. You just have a more prominent bone structure is all.

Definitely not ugly. You dont have the typical handsome look, but I think the world needs more interesting looking people. You are cute though :)

Haha, just made an account to say this. I think you're really gorgeous. Chin up!

I do say that the glasses are too big for you. You don't really want the bottom to touch your cheeks, I think.
