Do you think you fall into the category of ugly people? If you're suffering by believing that your perceived ugliness defines you, this "I'm Ugly" video will offer you advice on the importance of finding your beauty and where to look for it so you don't have to feel ugly.

It sucks to be unattractive, and your parents always say you are beautiful, but they have to say that, because you look like them.

I might be ugly but at least i am also poor.

This coming up on my recommended just confirmed my suspicions

I am a 64 year old lady and started watching your videos today  with the first one being about the gluten. I found it so funny and decided to see what else you had to say, so subscribed to your videos. Well the next one I watched was about being a vegetarian and once again I was  entertained with your thoughts and most times truths hidden within your video.

 I just finished watching your video from the young man who felt he was ugly and before even half way through, I was in tears with the pain I have felt all of my life. You see from a very young age I knew I was not like my other siblings who were outwardly beautiful and told so often. My mother could never understand that I was this chubby young girl who no matter what I did, could not live up to her expectations of me. At the age of 12 she took me to a "diet dr." in another state where legal amphetamines were given to young children. I remember sitting in class at school and thinking that my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. Sadly the pills were only a temporary fix and the weight came back. At one point while trying on clothes for school my mom became so angry she yelled at me and said she never understood why I was such a fat child. That remark hurt me to the core and from that I gave up and withdrew into my own world of fantasy where I was loved no matter what I looked like. From there I would go through many issues in my life all related to food. I was anorexic in my early 20s and still looked in a mirror and saw a fat person looking back even though I only weighed 89 lbs. at 5'5". The saddest part of that is that my mom would tell me how great I looked. My dad was the only person in my life who ever told me how proud he was of me, but I don't think he ever got the whole issues of what I was going through.

 Life went on for me, but I always felt fat and no matter what size I was or what the scale would say I just knew it was never enough. In my early 30s after going through a painful divorce, I was back at my moms (my dad had passed away) and in a fit of total anger I screamed at my mom and asked her why all those years ago she couldn't love me no matter what. I was so shocked when she started crying and said she was so sorry for the way she treated me way back when. I really felt she meant it. Years would go by and she would still talk about how great I looked now that I was thin. I couldn't but wonder if she even heard what I had screamed at her.

 I would remarry and have a child at the age of 43 which I feel so blessed to have. My husband and I have been married 28 years now and I know in my heart I have so much to be grateful for. My mother passed away 2 years ago and all of a sudden I feel as if I still am that fat child. Hearing your video has given me so much to think about and I am so grateful to have heard and watched it today. I can only think that it was meant for me to find you and hear your words.

I hope this hasn't been too long. I could write a book about my life, but won't. Again thank you so much for your words.

What to do?  Do what I did, get a dog. They always think you are beautiful and great no matter what.  Bond with your inner dog.  Life is good!

Nobody looks ugly in my eyes but as I look at myself I look terrible

[thecliche]

Thanks to the young man who posed the question. I wish him the best of luck finding his beauty.

My friend's daughter who used to babysit my kids when they were little had an overbite which resulted in a receding jawline. She was never ugly in my opinion, she had beautiful eyes and a lovely personality, BUT - she was ignored by all the young men as far as any sort of romantic relationship went. They would be friends, but they didn't regard her as girlfriend material. She was offered and accepted surgery once she stopped growing and the result was staggering. She became stunningly good looking - literally a jaw dropping transformation as her face was bought into alignment. Suddenly she could have her pick of guys. She was still the same person on the inside, but the only people who see the inside are the ones that take the time to get to know you and the truth is, most people are too ugly on the inside to do that. I found having veneers a life-changing experience. People do react to you differently when you look different, regardless of whether you accept yourself or not. I have known beautiful people who believed they were ugly, and in that case I believe it is just a case of seeing your own beauty, but when a real facial disfigurement is making you withdraw in shame from the people around you, getting that corrected is life changing. As long as he is well enough to undergo surgery I think he'll find it is the best decision he ever made. He should be aware and emotionally ready for the fact people will treat him differently, even though on the inside he is the same. That takes some getting used to and throws up a lot of questions about how genuine other people are and how much you can trust them.

I too considered myself not attractive. Therefore I concentrated on things I love instead of pretending to like trends or activities just to fit in. Why not? No one pays any attention anyway, I might as well do what I like.
It is a form of enlightenment, a way of being your true self. Not long after, you will feel pity towards those who have to keep up appearances. 
Blessings do come in disguise sometimes.

The real problem is fear of loneliness.

No I don't feel ugly I know I'm ugly XD

Easy to say, You're not ugly. They say "You can't truly understand others unless You feel the same pain".

[filida]

This reminds me of Eleanor Roosevelt. She suffered a great deal because even her mother considered her too ugly to have a future. And yet, I think she did pretty good for herself.

[gnotifyinga]

I think that I'm ugly, but I'm healthy and young so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

[anitkabre]

I'm also very ugly, but that amuses me, cause I can laugh everytime I walk by the mirror.

[terrirussell]

Obviously, i'm giving this response from my perspective and in my opinion this guy's true beauty is in his courage. I hope he can see that for himself? Much love xxx

[TheDawnling]

So much of Mr. Sears stuff is HILARIOUS, that I am swept into joy when I find one of his serious, wonderful ones!

Thank you for this, sir!

[nicnaknoc]

Im ugly too - it helps me to know that Im not alone - in fact about as many ppl are ugly as there is pretty ppl and the most ppl are just plain. Being ugly is a superpower of stealth.

[eastervan]

I watched your gluten video and it was hilarious...so I went in thinking this would be a sarcastic joke. I was listening, and after about three minutes, I thought, "shirt, he's talking about me!" The hard part is not realizing your inner beauty; it's reminding yourself to see it constantly and see it in others as well..."mindfulness" is the current buzzword. I will start watching your other videos; you seem like a very kind person and I wish you the best.

[MrsTheClown]

Tough question, great response. I've had plenty of conversations that lead me to believe this is something we all have to go through to some degree. Accepting the beauty we have been given, and celebrating our uniqueness is a courageous journey indeed.
