“Why Am I So Ugly?” 14 Reasons You Feel So Unattractive

Sarah White

Do you feel like you’re ugly or unattractive, but don’t know why? Here’s some reasons you may feel this way:

You Aren’t Skinny

We live in a society that says that being skinny means you’re attractive, and vice versa. But in reality different people are attracted to different kinds of bodies. So you can be bigger in size and still be attractive. There’s whole movements about being “fat positive” that can help boost your confidence.

You Don’t Wear Nice Clothes

I get it–some people just want to be comfortable. However, if you’re having issues with how you look, you can start wearing nicer clothes to help boost your confidence. This doesn’t mean you have to wear suits or dresses all the time. It can simply mean that you wear nicer shirts with your jeans as opposed to T-shirts.

You Don’t Get Your Hair Done

Whether it’s going to the salon, or doing it yourself, hair is a huge part of our appearance. Sometimes a simple style or change of color can be a great way to boost your confidence. This can be especially true if your hair is dull in color, or if the cut doesn’t really have a style to it. And sometimes it can be a simple matter or growing it out.

You Were Told You Were Unattractive as a Kid

Sometimes it’s not about what we do physically, but what we work on on the inside. We all know kids are mean, and maybe you had a few of them call you names and accuse you of being unattractive as a kid. This can really have an affect on some people later in life. But learning that kids are just mean, and working through the insecurities could be the trick to feeling more confident.

You Don’t Invest in Smelling Good

It may not seem like it affects your appearance, but the smells you use and put on yourself, from your shampoo to perfume/cologne, can have a huge affect on what you think about yourself. Choose smells that you like. Don’t choose them based on what someone else likes. If your partner prefers a certain smell that you don’t like, have them give one you like a chance.

Your Environment Isn’t Attractive

Your home is your safe haven. And it also is the place you get to express yourself the best. If you don’t feel like it’s attractive, then you may feel insecure about it. Spruce it up with some decor you like. Keep your home clean, too. Cleanliness goes a long way when it comes to feeling confident and attractive.

You Don’t Shower as Often as You Should

Some people overbathe, while others underbathe. Finding the right schedule for you, though, is the key. It’s more than how you smell–but if your hair and skin are greasy or if you’re simply just dirty more than you’re not, upping the showers you take could make a big difference. You may find that washing your hair more often makes it softer and more attractive too.

Your Clothes Don’t Match

A lot of people make this mistake–especially when they wear colorful pants or tops. Making sure your clothes match can be a huge game-changer for your appearance. Simply wearing jeans instead of colorful pants can make a huge difference.

You Smell Like Your Pets

This goes along with how you smell overall–but many people have great hygiene. They just happen to also smell like their dogs or cats. Keeping your animals and their environment clean can help keep this from happening.

Your Car Is a Mess

Similar to your home, your car can also affect how you feel about yourself. Some of us don’t care much and just toss whatever in our cars. But keeping it clean and smelling good can make a big difference.

You Don’t Wear Jewelry

Jewelry can affect how you look. Whether you prefer big gauged ear rings or small diamond studs, express yourself and play around with what you find attractive.

You Don’t Express Yourself

Do you base your clothes and appearance on what you like? Everyone has their own style. Sometimes we give in to wearing things we would rather not. Focus on the things you like to wear and express yourself more. Whether it’s a Nightmare Before Christmas T-Shirt, or a cute little black dress, changing it up can make a huge difference.

You’re Insecure About Other Things

Sometimes we need to work on our insecurities that involve other things. These insecurities could have to do with the job you have, the people in your life, and many other things. The best thing to do about this is to eliminate or work on what makes you insecure. And to realize what is related to your appearance, and what isn’t.

Your Partner Doesn’t Make You Feel Attractive

We often put a lot of stock into what our partners think–and sometimes they don’t help us feel attractive. Sit down and discuss it with your partner, and have a real conversation about your insecurities. Ask them what they find attractive about you. And return the favor for them. Exploring this type of communication could have a lot of benefits.
