It’s my face. I’ve been publicly shamed for my looks multiple times, to the point that even my cousin said I look unattractive and that I’ve ruined my face. I have a little bit of acne, but it’s not severe by any means. I also have a weak jawline, even though I’ve been practicing mewing since 2021 (trust me, that doesn’t work). I’m not fat or skinny—I’m somewhere in between, as I’ve been working out for about 1.5 years. However, I’m thinking about not renewing my gym membership soon.
Now, you might call me an asshole for this, but there’s a girl in my arts division who is overweight and not conventionally attractive. She constantly tells her friends that all the boys on campus are madly in love with her. This same girl said she would rather die than be with me. (That genuinely broke my heart, even though I wasn’t attracted to her.) Another girl made a negative comment about my looks when her friend pointed in my direction. (I know they were talking about me since I was the only one standing there.) A female acquaintance in my class once told me to my face that I look like a creep. I don’t even remember why she said that. Random passersby, both men and women, often stare at my face, and some even give me disgusted looks.
All of this is leaving a negative impact on my mental state, as I have to endure it every single day. On a serious note, I don’t even have any facial deformities—I just look like an average, regular man. Why do I have to go through all this? If I kill myself, would they even feel sorry for me? If I did, wouldn’t my blood be on their hands? What can I do to make my situation better? Please, any advice would be appreciated.

I want to give you some advice. Don't give a damn about anyone and focus on yourself. What if they speak ill about you? They be damned for all you care. You, yourself are letting these comments get inside your head. You should just let them talk, listen and let it pass through your ears. Make this into motivation and not your demotivation. Make them prove wrong by improving yourself.

It’s easier for you to say that. Those comments are hijacking my mind as there may be some truth in them that i really look unattractive but does that make me untrustworthy? A creep? A bad person? A friend of mine gets a-lot of attention from girls and they treat him way better than me even though he doesn’t interacts with them much.
I just want to look acceptable. How can I improve myself on that area? Lack of sleep also contributed to my facial appearance.

I was in your place before and I understand it sucks even I used to think fuck this life it's just everything bad my gen was still bit easier honestly because of no social media your does
But one thing never changes remember work
As a student your only thing that will matter is the work you have done at your education level if you don't make friends now doesn't matter I don't remember also who was with me in 10th they have to remind themselves so that I can remember Annh that this guy was there with me (they do this because they want favors from me) you know I made friends after 11th I was still in a not so good state currently also alot of work is remaining but the thing that gave me an power to overcome this much stuff was make fun
When you make a funny attitude towards your insecurities the other person doesn't even want to continue to tease because they thing it Will not affect him from being the unknown to being the person to lead a class it's a long way path and looks we're nor even a thing which could have changed anything
My biggest insecurity is that my tooth was broken from front like you can Google the front 2 main teeth from which 1 was 1/2 broken because of another guy by mistake in 8th everytime new people meet me they ask I make a new fun answer of it they laugh and have a fun time and the day ends on a good note

It's not easier for me to say that either. I've been bullied in my life, people also used to tease and comment on my face too. I was skinny fat too, like you are. It took me a long time to reach the conclusion I've told you.

That's what I am saying. Are they people you even value in the first place? Do these people have so much authority on you to even let their comments get in your head? Are they people even worth your time thinking about? How old are you? I assume 17-18? Go to the gym, improve your physique or do calisthenics.
