How do you guys cope with being ugly/average looking?
I feel like this is not talked about enough but it seems in recent years, an increasingly strong emphasis is placed on our appearances.
Even after deleting social media like TikTok, I still feel upset about being ugly or average.
Especially when my friends (both male and female) mention someone like “xyz damn pretty” or whatever, I feel bitter and almost kind of jealous.
I have other things I build my self-worth on, but for looks, I just feel like I can’t change much (plastic surgery is out of the question for me).
Even if I have a nice body, most guys seem to care more about the face. How do you guys cope with your looks if you feel you are ugly?

The best way is to accept that you’re born a certain way and be glad about other aspects of you that you might be great at. I’ve definitely felt some people who are below average in looks very attractive because they are kind, and gotten turned off by good looking people because they felt like they were entitled.
But if you want to do something about your looks, I’ve seen make up/ a change of wardrobe do wonders for people.
