Today, my father decided to "prepare" me for the real world by telling me that I'm ugly. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my parents I wanted to try modelling. I thought that since I have such a low self-esteem, that it might benefit me, and make me feel better about myself and how I look. The first thing out of my dad's mouth was, "What? Why? You're ugly." Thanks dad. FML
Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." FML
Today, I talked to my father for the first time in several years. I proudly told him that I have been attending Beauty School. He looked me up and down and said, "Doesn't look like you've learned much." FML
Today, I was at a restaurant when I heard a young girl telling her father she didn't think she was pretty. When I got up to leave, I walked past her table and told her she was beautiful. Her dad then punched me in the face. FML
Today, my drunk dad told me I'm smart enough that any guy could overlook the fact that I'm fat, but not smart enough that they could overlook how ugly I am. Gee, thanks. FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, my mom and dad were talking about how if I lost weight, I would be attractive and have guys all over me. My dad said, “That’s exactly what I’m worried about.” It took me a while to realize they both think I’m ugly. FML
Today, my dad stopped me mid-sentence and said he wanted to punch me in the face and set me on fire for using the word "selfie". FML
Today, my dad told me that I'm a weak and negative person because I suffer from depression and anxiety, then he told me to just snap out of it. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I was ugly. She said, "Ask your girlfriend." I said I didn't have one. She said "Exactly." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Now, you can prepare him for the 'not so far out future' by telling him you're going to put him in hospice when he's old.(:

I doubt he meant it. A father wouldn't mean that to their kid because initially they're calling themselves ugly because the kid is half of them, they're just too afraid to say it to themselves in the mirror. Gain some self confidence and self esteem and accept who you are. Don't take anything personally.

He must know from personal experience. Possibly...

Don't let words bring you down! I have bad acne and am right now taking multiple things to get rid of it, I may even end up having to go on Roacutane (which has an awful lot of side effects) if it doesn't get better soon. I know I don't look anywhere near 'beautiful' but I really don't care. Why should looks matter so much? I hate how nowadays everyone cakes their face in make-up just so that they can look 'pretty'. I've learnt to ignore the comments others have made, no-one has any right to judge you by looks, not even your own father! I've had problems with people bullying me and some who take one look at my face and start screaming and call me ugly and say that my face is messed up, ironically, they're the ones who smother make-up all over their face to make themselves look pretty and are probably very self-conscious. Nothing good comes from being very self conscious, just accept how you look and learn to love it! Wow, giant wall of text! Sorry!

Well said! Some of the most beautiful women I know are beautiful on the inside, look aren't everything. OP's dad is a jerk for what he said.

I agree with what you're saying, however you seem very against makeup. It can look natural and can enhance features which is why I use it - to enhance my features, not to "look pretty".

I'm not against a bit of make-up, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just the people who pile it on and literally hid behind a mask that I hate. Me though, I'm a bit of a tomboy so I would never wear make-up, and besides, with my acne, putting on a bit of blusher would probably make my face look worse.

Understood, and I agree; people look so stupid with an inch-thick mask of concealer and foundation, especially if it's orange! My bad though, I misinterpreted your post.

Lackofpotatoes, I've seen your comments and you're just looking for attention. Maybe your comments would bother some people if you weren't just talking out of your ass. Better luck next time?

"enhancing your features" is to make urself look more attractive. nice try though. lol

I've taken accutane for years. it's worth it if u can stand the aweful side effects. lots of headaches, nosebleeds, dry eyes etc... only use it if it is your last resort. my skin has been bad since I was 16 and im 29 now and it's finally gone. I was on and off accutane for 4 years.

209 - The difference is I don't try to change anything. My foundation if I ever use it matches my skin tone and I like natural looking colours. I do use colour on occasion but it's not excessive like some of the other girls; they always look like they're trying to hide or distract from something. That's what I mean. I'm enhancing what I've already got.
