Yup. I just got a makeover and my health issues and depression just vanished. I can just look in the mirror and that makes it all better. [sarcasm SaRcAsM SARCASM]
Johnny Depp has really bad anxiety and he says it helps him A LOT when he's in costume
But I have depression and anxiety and I don't think being attractive would help me either with those

So the solution is to cosplay as Johnny Depp? No wonder it wasn't working for me! XD
If you're attractive, people have a more unrealistic view of your personality than if you're plain. Plus, that view is inescapable, whether it infers that you have more value than other people, or that you have no concern for others; attractive people either enjoy a premium of certain benefits or they suffer broad-scale abuse unique to their station. Either way, they always get noticed. That can suck pretty bad, because it warps your sense who you really are. Luckily, I'm ugly as a skinned hot dog.
Just saying, Daniel Tosh has created a screen persona to get over his anxiety and nervousness. And when I was in grade school, my parents got me glasses because I was socially anxious to the point of mutism, and they told me when I put them on I became super-Cole, and he had nothing to fear... No joke I still don't really need glasses, but I wear them whenever I'm particularly nervous.
If you're OK with being someone's trophy wife/husband, sure. But if you have SELF RESPECT then you work HARD to become successful, you don't relegate yourself to a pretty sex object to be viewed as an achievement or pet by your spouse.
Honestly, I feel like if I felt better about the way I look, I'd feel better about a lot of other things too. It wouldn't solve everything of course, like the post says, but it would be one less thing to hate about myself.
I wouldn't say your problems are solved, more like you have an advantage in life others do not. What you do with that advantage is up to you, but ultimately you solve your own problems...each persons are different.
People say I'm very pretty all the time and I know I'm not ugly or fat or anything like that. I have nice skin and good hair. But where are my friends? Where's my boyfriend? Oh wait, no, I haven't got any of those! Just because you're attractive doesn't mean other people will care and they're are still always gonna be who are more attractive. It's about inner beauty and whilst people may not be able to see that from first glance, it's what really matters. There's obviously something very wrong with me on the inside if I walk around school by myself.
