r/uglyduckling

lost 50+ pounds and changed a lot since 16. I was severely depressed and felt entirely alone, insecure, plus internalized hate for myself from years of bullying. The ppl I desperately sought after to care abt me made me feel more lonely than if I was alone. Sucks when it's your own parents, but even worse how common this is. I realized that I was going to be the one there for me after my entire life of neglecting myself. I'm glad I'm still here and pls know it DOES get better, even if it gets repetitive and annoying to hear that. 🫶

Finally started doing skincare and wearing what I actually liked instead of trying to fit in 🙃
Edit: I had NO idea this post would have such negative responses lmaooo😭

I was bullied growing up (I was an easy target as you can see) and while it kind of sucked but I feel like it was motivation to turn myself into a better version of myself ☺️

But Not marrige material due to my looks

im 45 here.

yay me!

Was teased in middle school all the time. Not necessarily bullied but was constantly criticized about my appearance even though i was like prepubescent… anywayyy

I used to be the ugliest girl in class and I want to an all girls school sooo
