I was home-schooled for most of my life and was always told by family and other relatives that I was attractive. I started going to university and meeting people in 2015 and realised that I was actually just ugly. I take care of my hygiene/grooming and dress well but my face is simply objectively ugly, I can barely look at myself in the mirror and think about how I only have one to life and I was born gimped I get extremely depressed and want to an hero. My self-esteem is terrible. How do I deal with being ugly?
Get a sense of humor and never believe a physical compliment.

You're probably not that bad OP. I used to be super insecure about my looks too, but eventually I felt better about myself and met a couple of women.
Although, I had to deal with a lot of my insecurity before I was able.

I've a decent sense of humor around friends that I know well, however I'm too insecure nowadays to even talk to anyone because I'm extremely unhappy with the way I look

I've been on two dates since I started university but even if there are girls that would spend time with me it's more about myself, if I believe that I'm just objectively ugly (weak chin and jaw, uneven features, big nose and small dopey eyes) I will still be upset. Even if I had a 10/10 model gf that was into me I would still look at myself in the mirror and hate myself

Idk then, can't help with that sounds like a deeper psychological issue than anything rooted in reality.
If women think you are attractive, why don't you give their opinions any weight?

For your weak chin grow a beard, it could help.
As for the other stuff you might consider plastic surgery.
But honestly OP you need to build your self esteem. Try to focus on other aspects of your life.

I know I have issues, primarily anxiety which I feel would go away if I could be confident in myself and my looks. I guess because I feel they are in the minority of people to find someone like me attractive, and just by looking at things that make people objectively attractive I know that I am not.

I don't really grow facial hair, and I have looked into plastic surgery but I don't have that kind of money and I have actually asked my family but they say that I look fine and that they won't wouldn't give me money because in their minds plastic surgery means terrible results. Focusing on other stuff helps a bit but I don't have much going for me.
I listen to metal and lift.
