You care too much what people think. Accept yourself for who and what you are and stop searching for validation from other people or anything external. Confidence is the most attractive trait on anyone.
Did they give you bad ratings or just ratings you didn't like? 5/10? You're doing fine.
What a little bitch. Grow up OP

I remember one time I asked the girl I liked irl to rate me for fun. She gave me a 4/10. Not even online, but right to my face around other people. It me feel bad too even though I had to play it off in the moment. And this was when I thought I looked the best and well kept.
After that, I just stopped giving a shit. It's not like it really means anything. Most people aren't even average in the first place. So don't worry about it so much. If all else fails, just know you're at least not a tard. Or Anthony Burch for that matter.

More like 6/10, but I used to get 8's regularly
