Good looking, muscular men make me feel uncomfortable and bad .

[Parnate]

I see these well built good looking men and feel terrible cause I am not like them. I am fat, bald and average look.
My self esteem is very low and seeing all these men on social media only makes me further miserable.

I personally hate being short but there is nothing that I can do about it. It definitely sucks to not feel happy with your body.

Same deal but for slim, attractive women. But then, also very attractive guys too. I just feel inadequate compared to all of them.

why not try to lose weight?

there is always a way to feel bad in comparison with others. Someone is always better looking, richer, smarter, funnier.

I know this is easier said than done, but just try to focus on yourself and whatever is important to you and ignore others.

I was married to a fat, bald, average man for many years. The most important thing wasn't the looks, it was about kindness, conversation, fun.

Stop comparing yourself to everyone else. Tall, muscular men have their problems, they just come in a different flavor than yours. As a female, I have dated fat, balding men, and I have dated skinny little toothpicks. I do not care about outside looks, what I care about is personality. A guy being an asshole is a bigger turn off than him being fat.

I know wallowing in self-pity is the easy thing to do, but it will not change anything. You should figure out what is the biggest contributor to your low self-esteem and try to work on that. It does not matter how you compare to everyone else. All that matters today is how you compare to yourself yesterday, a week ago, or a year ago.

Social media doesn't bother me, maybe because I was well into adulthood before it was available. But in real life, yes, I feel the same. I've always felt ashamed and useless in the presence of attractive muscular men because I've never been like that. Similar feelings around attractive women because I know they consider me scum. Add to that, gradually becoming older, and it just makes me want out.

people on social media are so fake what to say

Exactly how I feel, inadequate. My mother never appreciated me , always criticised me. Also I was only few months old when she put me at a daycare so that is also there.
