Seriously low self esteem and it's hard getting an honest opinion from friends and family. What should I change about myself?

I was abused as a kid and I also suffer from ADHD. Always been put down and told I’m not good enough so it is deeply ingrained in me. I won’t go into the kind of abuse but I will say that I don’t feel manly which is hard to deal with.

I’m looking for genuine guidance on how I can improve myself.

All advice welcome

Was wondering if I'm pulling the mustache off or not

Includes 2 current pics and 1 progress pic. Yes, I'm aware of how fat and disgusting I am, which is also why I'm here. To try to figure out if there's any hope at all for me. Probably not, but still. And no, the side urns aren't leaving because if those go they'll just highlight how incredibly fat my face is. Same thing with the hair, narrowing it down makes my cheeks pop and I'll look like a bloated pufferfish. So basically, I feel like I'm hopeless until I get to sub 5% bodyfat, which is still a long way off. I hate my body. It's so gross.

Lol I'm honestly just nosy (dont worry he gave me full permission to do this).

I keep telling him he needs to get back into modeling after doing it when he was younger, but he doesn't think he should because his looks have changed as he got older.

Idk if it's just my girlfriend obsessed brain or if there's some real potential there so I'm leaving it up to reddit. (yall do it best).

Is there any advice that I should pass onto him? Or maybe opinions to improve his look? Could he get there again? (modeling)

Again, he told me I could do this since he's sort of considering it now.

First time posting here, I would like to know what could I improve in my appearance :). I don’t have many photos of myself but any advice is welcome.

I usually ensure to keep a clean shave as I don’t like how I look with beard. I try to keep my hair not too long but not too short either. I also suffer from occasional acne breakouts.

I get treated very badly everywhere I go, I've had people randomly insult me, I've had groups of friends walk past me and immediately start howling in laughter and making animal noises at me, I've had parents pull their kids away from me, I've had people just flat out call ugly for no reason, I've made toddlers cry just from looking at me, I get stared at constantly to the point where people driving past swivel their heads to stare at me, I've had people at the gym immediately get up and move to another place when I work out next to them, I could go on with the list of shitty treatment I get everywhere I go

I personally don't think I'm *that* bad looking, I think I'm just plain, I can't understand what's such negative reactions from people and I feel like I'm losing my mind tbh, I need insight into what about my look could be throwing people off so much

I’ve lost around 40Ibs over the past few months but I want advice on how to look better beyond just “get less fat/get more fit.”

I don’t really know what type of hair/facial hair style would suit me and I can’t tell if my new clothes look any good.

I wanted it shorter but idk, what do y’all think?

My wife likes both equally but im not sure which one is best.. any thought?

hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.

I’ve been growing out my hair for about two years, although I have trimmed the ends twice during that time.

I’ve always kept my hair in a ponytail because I’m absolutely hopeless at doing any kind of hairstyle. Recently, though, I started trying little braids (pic 5), and imo they look good.

I have extremely thick hair, which can make it quite challenging to style.

Could you guys suggest any hairstyles that you think would suit my face structure? I’m open to any suggestions. Thanks ;)

(All the pics were taken over a span of four months.)

Lost my confidence in myself since I was cheated on. Not too sure what I would change or what would actually suit me.

I was/am on a weight loss journey and have lost 8 stone to date in just over 2 years. Progress has slowed since the breakup.

I cant really grow a full beard, never looks full and I look so young and strange without facial hair!

These are all random pics I took In the last few months. Not sure how I come off. Hat, no hat, facial hair or no facial hair? Do I look fit? Maybe a combo of both? I work out pretty regularly. I’m trying to look my age.
