I don't know what I can do. Why am I so ugly?

I normally wouldn't have the courage to post my photo online, but I feel so awful and so depressed that at this point I don't think it matters. I'm now 31 years old and I haven't been in any kind of relationship for more than eleven years. My therapist has discussed a disorder known as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (or BDD), and it sounds a lot like what I experience. I wish that I could wake up in the morning, and as I'm preparing for the day, at least feel somewhat good about my appearance. When you've had people run you down to your face (and on one occasion have someone tell you that you look like Beavis) it makes it very difficult to have a sense of self-esteem and value. I don't know what to do anymore. It would be a dream come true for me if I could have plastic surgery and look like someone else, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. The feelings of worthlessness that make up my existence is something that I wouldn't wish upon anyone, not even on someone I hated. My parents, one of the few people that I would disucss this with in person, say that I'm handsome. But, they're my parents. How many mothers or fathers do you know of who would tell their son or daughter they are ugly? Our parents always see us through different eyes than the rest of the world. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn111/iceman1978/Personal%20Photos/IMAGE_020-1-1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn111/iceman1978/Personal%20Photos/IMAGE_020-1-1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn111/iceman1978/Personal%20Photos/IMAGE_020-1-1.jpg I see what you mean about not being able to see the picture.

2. the internet is no better then discussing it with your parents. people will be no more honest then they are. dude your NOT ugly. guys would kill to look like you. so shut the f*ck up :P
3. Listen my friend, there is no way to tell what you like, because your face is covered up. I can imagine what it must be like for you when others have made you feel badly about yourself. Anyone who treats you like that is not someone to be around. I don't believe your parents would lie to you when they say you are handsome. The thing is, you need to do things to feel better about yourself. Sure you could have plastic surgery in the future, and I'm sure that would make you feel much better about yourself. But you need to work on your self esteem first. You need to know who your friends are, who accept you, care about you and will always be there for you. I can tell you this, volunteer work is a good way for boosting your self esteem. I've mentioned this in many of my answers, but it really does work. Also it's a great way to meet people. It's good that you are getting help with this. You need to believe in yourself that you are a good person and you are worthy of being loved. Take care of yourself. You are a worthy man ok?
