I have been insecure about my looks for practically my whole life. I know that I objectively am at-least average looking, yet I still hate the way I look and it is mainly due to my immutable characteristics (eye color, skin color, height). I am not even really wishing that I had a different face or anything, I just wish that my features were different. The cruelty of genetics means that I can't have incredibly pale skin, or be 6'0 tall.
A lot of people don't particularly worry about that and learn to be content with their appearance. I haven't been able to do so and it is driving me up the wall. I try very hard to make myself look as good as I can possibly look, not even for attention (I want no attention from others), but just so I can look in the mirror and not despise my appearance.
What has helped you to get over your insecurities? I cannot seem to come to terms with the fact that I will never be born with the features I wanted to be born with.
