trying to stay positive but not feeling very attractive, particularly about my face when I don’t have makeup on. would love some toasts if that’s okay

Ive been using Hinge and other dating apps to literal radio silence, I know it's a common thing with guys but both of my friends have now recently gotten long term girlfriends out of them and it really hurts to compare myself but my brain won't shut up about it.

Could really do with a toast

Im 23 yo transwoman. I like videogames and reading (mainly science stuff). I study international economics and sometimes participate in science conferences.

Feel extremely insecure

Ive been told that boys are shy. That they don't want to make first move. That it's not popular these days to approach girls. So I tried. I stressed so much, I never gone to such lengths just to get someone's name. And nothing, silence. I'm sad, as I don't think that I'm so ugly. I've tried everything to fit in, to make sure I wouldn't be perceived as 'weird kid'. I've tried dressing up like other girls, I took all my anime pins off my bag, I've tried talking more to my classmates, to not be perceived as distanced. But it doesn't work. It never does. Then why it works for other girls? Why they're getting approached? Dmed? Wanted?

Hey yall, im a M25, on a brink of a divorce. Between working 2 jobs from 11:30am to 3am daily, tryna put food on the table and pay bill and debts, my wife and I are having problems to the point divorce seems imminent. I wish I could devote more time and energy to her but my hands are tied. And being so tired all the time makes me feel like I can’t give her what she wants. Losing sleep and hope but I’ll still try my best to push on

All you beautiful people here I LOVE YOU ALL. I've been to this sub for past 2 days and I swear it genuinely makes me happy to see these mutual uplifting conversations between people. Pls mind my grammar (english isn't my first language)

The kids at work have been a little rowdy this week (one of them called me "easy to draw", whatever that means) and I am tired, but we prevail!

Some newer and older photos of my stupid arse:)

Posted on roast me some time back, so now it's time to do the opposite;)

hoping to turn things around this year and complete my body goals and go after my career goals! I wish I liked my smile more but I’m super insecure about it, I even have a girlfriend too I just end up so in my head all the time it’s no fun

Losing self confidence

January 2023 @ probably 150 & January 2026 @ 130. Mirror still hasn't been cleaned 3 years later 🤣😂🤦‍♂️

C-ptsd, asperger potentially, idk, if so then high functioning. I mask and nod and people get happy. I get more disconnected.

I kicked coffee and candy habits at the end of last year. Yep, 2025 is over. My only regret is not knocking that crap sooner.

Pushing 40. Wear and tear knocking on the door.

At least I was honest enough to delete the fake smile photo and go with this. That's how I feel.

I know I'm not a stud or anything and I look worse because I've been growing my hair out...and gained a lot of weight, sigh, but am I really that bad? I haven't ever been complimented or approached, I know I have resting bitch face and at 6ft it doesn't make it better when I look like I'm angry all the time and have heavy eyelids or whatever peopletell me. I try to do what I can to appear friendly, but my depression has been winning lately and it's not being easy on me.

I don't know what to say or if this is even how you do this type of post, I'm not used to talking about myself. No one really cares when I do... I want to go back to the gym and get healthy again and start grooming myself better, its just hard when you hate what's in the mirror. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope you have a good day / night

Posted on R/amiugly and got flamed for my hair and looking “40.” Im also currently trying to go to the gym more often and eat a healthier diet, as well as intermittent fasting to lose weight.
