I find most people, if I find them ugly at first, but they have any redeeming features (not exclusively physical, but it helps, and you never know what it could be), appear more attractive over time. And most people, if healthy at all, don't look bad in general. It's much like listening to genres you don't like. You can usually focus on the elements that move people the most, and learn to enjoy (or at least accept) the rest. Confidence is often the key difference in their performance with other people. But everyone seems to experience the opposite effect with themselves.

Personally, no level of being a sexyy fucker makes me less self-conscious of my skin dryness (psoriasis) around the head and face area. Sleep helps my face, and I use moisturizer, but the scalp's a tricky one (*none of the shampoos I've tried have worked). My hair is dark, so it can really show!! Sometimes, on my way out of the bathroom, I catch a fleck sitting on my brow.

As a teenager, it was my offset jaw, which I've since learned not to see... like honestly, I feel ridiculous now.

I'm not sure if I came in with a point...
