I wonder how many of these guys or girls (who think they're ugly) have depression. I've noticed depression has a way of warping people's perception of themselves.
By "depression" I don't mean being emo. They're obviously not the same thing.
Well speaking as a manic-depressive (with more of a tendency towards depression) I do know that at times it has some influence but in my case it was not the primary motivator of episodes of depression. Very rare in fact since while depressed I rarely thought of myself as being "ugly" more just too "unusual" or annoying to be liked by women.
I hope no one is reading this the wrong way. I'm not saying feeling ugly will make someone depressed or that all depressed people think they're ugly .. I was merely saying I've known several people who are actually very attractive and think they're ugly .. and they had depression.
But yeah .. maybe the feelings we all have from day to day (about ourselves) are magnified when you have depression.
I was thinking aloud again

not wanting to sound like a ass. But what would you say is the differance between depressed guys and emo guys.?
A medical condition versus a subculture choice?
Pretty much. Thanks for that.
works for me

To be honest though I don't think I am ugly, but I this one time this really ugly girl called me ugly and that hurt. I would have told her she would be lucky to even fuck a guy who looks like me when she is so hideous but she was on the Girl's Rugby team and it was their party and I didn't feel like possibly getting the shit kicked out of me by the Guy's Rugby team
If I were you I'd be more worried about the girls' rugby team beating the shit out of you.
that made me smile so much.

Such beauty somehow makes my days worthwhile and the nights a little shorter

Looks count, but they just don't matter that much (unless you have a career in the fashion or entertainment industry).
Instead of worrying about your haircut or your nose, worry more about how you treat other people. I'd rather share this planet with six billion civil human beings than six billion beauty pageant contestants.
I, personally, would rather share my bed with six billion beauty pageant contestants.

You won't be getting much of the blanket on a cold night, though. That's the price you pay for your nights of wild hedonistic sex orgies!

Now that is a great analogy
