This is my story. I was okay with my look until I was 20 years old, then for a number of reasons my anxiety disorder got worse and went to some difficult years. This was when I met the guy who crushed me and my self-confidence. I have a strong nose (Persian nose) but even if people made fun of it over the years as I said I was okay with it until the guy, let’s call him Frank, ruined me. He was obsessed with beauty, that kind of perfect one you find nowadays on IG, so I was an exception because I was smart and he liked it. Before him I hadn’t have any issues with men and dating. Btw, he liked to make me notice even the tiniest flaw: teeth, nose, hair, EVERYTHING. He cheated, he wanted to be a friend with benefits for a very long time, and treated me like shit. I left him after some painful years, but I was broken and I went straight into another toxic relationship with a guy who looked kind but was the opposite. He was full of compliments, liked to read me poetry at the telephone, he repeated me I was fantastic, and then he refused to have sex with me telling me I was the only one he has this issue with and used to disappear for months. No social media, no calls, no emails, vanished, just to come back and messed up my life again. Of course I was stupid but dealing with traumas don’t help. He loved being me to romantic places and then refuse me physically. We lived in different cities and every time we booked a room he stayed naked in bed without touching me or it if went to his city (he didn’t live alone) I had to sleep alone. This went ahead for years, until I started therapy and sent him an email with which I basically got myself back. He finally admitted he didn’t was attracted and didn’t love me, I just wanted to feel special, not alone. So, would you say people like these treated me poorly because of my nose? I don’t think so. My therapist told me with my big surprise the the last guy was mentally abusive. Good people treat you well regardless of weight, nose size, and beauty in general. Stay away from pieces of shit as much as you can and you’ll see loving yourself will be way much easier.
