I saw this reel where this girl said something like "isn't it crazy how we think we look ugly sometimes but everyone around us thinks we look the same?"

Isn't that just wrong? I will never believe I look the same everyday cuz I don't. I know hair plays a part in framing your face and you're gonna look worse on a bad hair day BUT there are still many other things. Your face can just be bloated/puffy sometimes. Eyes can get more sunken if you're losing sleep cuz of exams. I look horrible during exam season and suddenly look prettier after they're over. Stress makes you uglier and so much more.

I was literally just looking on Pinterest for a cute phone wallpaper. Then I thought “I’m ugly and gross so this is embarrassing” and closed the app

I know it shouldn’t matter at all but I hate to admit that it really does bother me especially when I put in the effort to look nice!! Whenever I don’t get any compliments it just sets my BDD back. Any advice? I hate this cycle. Ugh.
