Vapid cunt, you're either ugly or you're not

Ya that's my experience with my self worth as well. I don't think there is a fix other than constant streams of external validation

Variable lighting?

It's amazing what a difference the right/wrong lighting can make to your face.

I have a similar issue. In my bathroom, there are two lights - the main light and a shaving light above the mirror (plus external light from outside). I look great with just the shaving light on because it accentuates my jawline and contours. Full light makes me look pretty shit.

It's the same reason why multiple mirrors in your house show you different perspectives (different lighting, position in mirror, contrast with other objects).

There are other variables like your expression, health, how recently you washed etc.. For me, just washing my hair to flatten it down and darken it is a massive increase in my looks. There's probably also a psychological element of your mood/expectations influencing your perception, deciding whether to pick out flaws or not.

It's just not with room lighting for me. I can see myself in my car window and think I look pretty good.

The only thing I hate is when I see myself with the sun light in a mirror. The sun lighting makes me look god awful

Well, it's the same thing - you see yourself outside in all manner of light levels and at all manner of angles.

Humans aren't great at evaluating their looks. But you can use other people as a metric. If you're posting on r9k, I imagine you aren't exactly swimming in female attention, so you're average at best.

The lie I tell myself is, "I don't go out so females really never encounter me." But yea you're right.

There are days where when I do go out I notice females looking at me or talk to me like a regular person. This usually amps me up to thinking i'm good looking. Sometimes I fool myself into believing i'm good looking but females are too sexually intimidated by me or want me to approach them.

It's how I stop me from killing myself, but deep down I know i'm just average.

I know that feeling.

>talk with someone before about this exact thing
>says you always look the same anyways

that didn't really help

It's even better when you get use to your looks.

I use to hate having facial hair like a beard, but after a while now I love it.

I'm not one for older ladies but good fuck Gates McFadden had me hard in TNG. Constantly.

I know this feel all to well OP
>Use phone camera to see how I look in a selfie and am disgusted
>Same thing but this time in the bright ass sun, think I look bretty good
>Sometimes get drunk and catch my self in a mirror and think what a waste
>Often use medicine cabinet mirror to see my "true" self reflected in the other mirror

Son of narcissists becomes self-hating narcissist. Not a good combo

Here's a my way of getting around this:

When I think I look good I remind myself that I'm not actually good looking. So there's no expectation and it doesn't hurt when I look in the mirror and think I look terrible.

You sound kind of nuts.
