Recently, in one of my classes we've been analyzing the idea of having different selves. The basic idea is that each person views themself differently than others view that same person. To illustrate this, our teacher had us get 5 people to write us a list of 25 of our attributes. Before looking at them, we wrote a list of all the things we thought that we were (ex. I am loud. I am quiet. I am obnoxious.) Then we compared the two. For the most part, my analysis was pretty spot on - I am loud, talkative, intelligent, bossy, and generous. However, I got hung up on one section of the lists - physical attractiveness.
Apparently, I am pretty cute.
I had no idea that anyone thought of me like that - I have always thought of my self as ugly, average, or, at best, a butterface. So for the past week, I've been trying to figure out what I really look like. I've been talking to Friend #2 (my female roommate), inviting friends over for late-night discussions, getting into shouting matches with my sister (afterwards we had a wonderful shopping day), and cutting my hair. This has been a time of reflection - and of realization.
Heck yeah, I am pretty. So watch out world - I see it now.

If you see a mention of another person,
it is a figment of your imagination.
Neither you, them, your imagination, or figments exist.

It's kind of sad that it took you that long to realize.
All I can really say to this is LOLZ.
I think part of the 'not sure what we really look like' thing is just that our concept of what we look like is actually based on what our mirror image looks like. This is bad news for me because I think my nose looks way less lopsided in mirror image than in actuality (you can get a mirror-mirror-image by holding two mirrors at a ninety degree angle and looking at the line between them), but maybe for you it's the opposite?
In any case, imo you are definitely pretty.
Also, hey, wait, what did you do to your hair? (I'm imagining you, for reasons unknown, with Betty Draper hair. y/n?)
I cut it into layers - it's now a bit lower than shoulder length. If you could be persuaded to use Facebook, I have an accurate pic up.
Basically it is crazy hair - really curly and unruly (and it is supposed to be that way).
