At least she's honest, she probably means it in a loving way. And now you know what you'll look like when you get old!

How do you tell someone they're ugly in a loving way?

We must embrace the ugly, my friend, because even Earth herself can be ugly.

OP didn't ask what she herself looked like. Her grandma could have simply said, "I was ugly" and left it at that.

"You are beautiful, no matter what they say", in this case "they" being your grandma OP. Pay her no mind, maybe she was being a smart ass :p

There was a chance she was being honest.

Maybe granny is mean and a little insecure about herself or maybe she mean op is going through her ugly duckling stage. She said she was ugly when she was young. Everyone has that awkward stage in their life.

This is probably the best and most sensible comment I've read so far.

Sometimes the truth can be ugly, ;) but keep your head up :) your great personality may help..that's all that matters is the way you are not how you look :)
