What do you like to do to cheer yourself up when you feel ugly?

I go for a run or to the gym. My appearance doesn’t actually change after 30 minutes of running but it just makes me feel better about myself.

I just blast some Miley Cyrus and dance around the house in my boxers and socks.

I take pictures of myself trying to look pretty and upload them to facebook.

@Sarcasm You’re like the new-and-improved Tom Cruise in Risky Business.

If you are feeling temporarily unattractive, it isn’t helpful to your spirit to call other people “ugly.” That labeling ( or more unkindly, namecalling) is bad for your appearance.

Go help someone in need. Do something for a stranger. Pet a dog.

I do nothing. I just let the anger burn itself out, For me, exercise is only useful for temporarily alleviating the worst symptoms of depression. Chemicals do a better job at that though, but at a cost.

I look at @Ivan‘s pictures on Facebook.

Why would I feel ugly?

Ugly is as ugly does…pure and simple.

Go visit a burn unit at a hospital.

Do something nice for someone and quit looking in the mirror.

Please do not pet me.

I don’t think your “ugly facebook friends” would want to stay friends with you if they knew you were calling them ugly. Get off facebook and do something constructive.

@Dog But you know that’s the only thing that makes me feel better.

I never feel ugly. I’ve come to accept myself as I was created. On the other hand doing something constructive for someone else always make me feel good about myself.

Grab my girlfriends’ asses & boobs. Scream. Blast some Escape The Fate, Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine, Atreyu, or Breaking Benjamin. And scream some more. Then go punch something. If I can’t feel pretty, I’ll feel powerful.

@janbb You do not amuse yourself at the expense of others. You may pet me. :)

I bump uglies with my husband.

If I had to spend time cheering myself up everytime I felt “ugly” – I’d never get anything accomplished.

Speaking of which, perhaps you could take the advice of many above and…accomplish something beyond proving to us what a shallow, immature person you are.

I really hope you’re twelve, otherwise there’s no excuse.

I don’t know. I’m always beautiful.
@cprevite
Don’t be a hater, you fat cookie. :)

There’s ugly, and then there’s ugly. I think I like your friends better.

@Finley
You hit a nerve obviously because some of these people are self loathing malcontents. Your honesty in it’s frank simplicity throws them so they find a thrill in being literalistic.

Step away from whatever media tool I’m using

Why is it that no one has a sense of humor? I mean this girl is obviously a rip.

I hate both Tom Cruise and Risky Business SO MUCH. I cant believe anybody likes either. Thats all.

I don’t have a lot of “IM SO UGLY I HATE MYSELF” moments because they’re silly, pointless, and don’t accomplish anything. Of course I have moments where I feel less good about myself but…then I just eat some pie or something.

@deni I love both.

Really/! god. i watched Risky Business a few weekends ago and was disgusted

The gym really does make me feel better… bouncy and clean I suppose.

I also buy myself new clothes – I always feel like a new person, fresh and new.

Days that I feel unattractive are becoming fewer as I age. I am making an effort to accept how I look just the way I am. Saying that, I feel it is important to treat my body with respect with exercise, sleep and healthy food. Binging and partying always make me feel like crap later.

@SeventhSense all I can say is thank you.

@chyna .. these aren’t my actual friends. They’re facebook friends, they are merely people who I accept requests from so that they can see my pictures and personal life and vise versa.

@deni
I am so not a fan of that green stuff that gets slimy when cucumbers sit around too long. Don’t even get me started on runny eggs… That’s all I have to say about that.

I get myself out of the house and head for the park. Just being in a quiet place and seeing the birds and greenery cheers me up so much.

@Draconess25 You’re an awesome lady!

@stranger_in_a_strange_land Awww, thanks! Wait….how?

@Draconess25 That you’re pretty, powerful, insightful and damned smart.

I’d flirt with her too, except she’s ten years younger than my daughter, if you get my drift.

@dpworkin:Too subtle, again.

Baby robins here, male cardinals singing a loud and sharp mating call, peonies about to pop, accidentals (things I did not plant) growing in my gardens, a day off from visiting my mother, and wam enough for me to launder my winter parka.

“I feel pretty, oh so pretty…”

should I have said, “don’t be a creep”?

@dpworkin: Go filtch a peony blossom. A little water, an empty jelly jar and violå. They are more beautiful and more aromatic than acreas.

@dpworkin Flirt? Moi? I wish I knew how!

@stranger_in_a_strange_land I think that’s what you were doing.

It would be great if we would be as concerned with making “character deposits” as we are “currency deposits”.

I tell my fiance how I feel (ugly), and then he tells me that he wouldn’t be with an ugly person, that I’m beautiful, and he starts listing all my phisical qualities, and remindes me that beauty is not only outside but inside too and that an ugly person couldn’t make him as happy as I make him feel and he just gets out of his way to make me feel better, he’s really awesome… I should prbably call him now. :D

Shrug and move on. During those fleeting moments I think about how much life I’ve managed to stuff under my belt and realize just how well I’ve aged.

I know that I am ugly and nothing is going to change that. I accepted that about 50 years ago, so it just doesn’t bother me anymore.I wrote my original answer not having read the Q carefully.

@chyna I learned something new. I didn’t realize that making truthful compliments was considered flirting. :^)
