I Hate My Face
Posted: 01-21-06 19:29pm

Okay, well it all started when I was 16, I just simply woke up one day and analyzed my face more than I usually do, realizing my left side of my face is more chubby then my right. And that my right ear sticks out a little more then the left! And from then I just literally think about it everyday, my face is unsymtrical, however you spell it, it is! I have a boyfriend, hes been with me for four years, and hes just like what are you talking about? Everyone I ask, they lie! But no, when I see a picture or just my reflection, I see a completly different thing then what tell me. And I read a few peoples post, and I totally understood them. Like one person said, they cant part their hair in certain ways without making their unsymetry so noticable. So most of the time I have to leave my hair loose too avoid people looking so hard! So then my skin breaks out when I have my hair in my face too much. Ah its fustrating, and does depress me. I dont care what people say, I know when people look at me thats like one thing they defiently notice. I want to consult a cosmetic surgen when im older, and see what advice they'll give me.

My sister says the same thing about her face--and I guess I have seen it too when she was talking about it. But I think she is beautiful--she is, and all the guys want her. I said that to say this---i never notice it on her (unless, like I said when she mentioned it)

everything on her face on one side, is in a different place than on the other side. To her it is totally noticeable, but like I said, to me I dont even notice. So...I bet you are obsessing on it, while others dont even notice it. Hope this helped.

I'm surprised someone responded to me! Thanks for the small advice, I guess hearing it from another perspective helps. And I have stopped obsessing over it alot less, because its true I was just constantly looking in a mirror, and so on. No 1's perfect!

I Have a Simular Problem..
Posted: 08-04-07 14:58pm

the one side of my face is alot diffrent to the other. somehow.. the jaw line is diffrent. and my cheekbones dont seem to match from the side. i ALWAYS take photos from my best side. and the other, chubbier... less defined . not as nice side doesnt see the light of the camera. i HATE it.. it depresses me... and like the lady said above other ppl dont notice it.. unless i say.. but like, why should they notice it? no1 cares about what other ppl look like. even though, looks arnt everything.. for the things i want to do in my life.. looks help ALOT. im definatly having surgery on my face. i would love it to b symmetrical. i thought i was the only one, because im constantly looking at other ppl, and they ALL have symmetrical faces. i hate it. But i cant find surgery anywhere that i need. :O

Hey, im not exactly sure what you mean but I think I know. If people dont notice it, then it is a good thing. Remember your mind, your personality defines who you really are & you must tell yourself that you are beautiful. If you have friends and family who love you this will be a good opportunity to realize that looks do not define if the person is good/bad/loved/unloved.
Perhaps you can try contouring your face with a darker shade blush. It can create shadows and may make your face appear slimmer.

Well people are born this way so you should be proud!! And don't do any plastic surgery !! If you do some people might notice more... i think. I dunno.. But you should love how you look like and try to be happy and nice everyday and gradually you'll look like the princess u were before!! Razz

The girl who made this post has the exact same symptoms as me Shocked difference being im a 15 year old lad. My parents say no one has a symetrical face but to me my face looks too unsymetrical Confused i dont know if people realise and dont say anything to me, or generally dont realise, but i dont want to bring it up to any of my mates because then they might start realising if that makes any sense lol... ive only had one relationship and she didnt say anything to me. Not to sound big headed at all but the side i like (my left side) i think looks great on the other hand my right side doesnt. I get the occasional comment at school from a few boys, boys that ive known since primary school and they say im perfect in everyway.. but perfect is a word that lies in the eyes of the beholder i guess - but i dont know whether they're taking the piss or are being serious. Is this maybe a form of body dismorphia? i have no idea but it comforts me knowing that people are going through what i am x thank you for making this post xx
