I used FaceApp and became insecure about my looks again.

Current Events » I used FaceApp and became insecure about my looks again.
I was feeling pretty ok today, so I took a selfie. I thought it turned out pretty good, and was considering posting it in the selfie topic here. But then I noticed that I still have FaceApp installed decided to see if there were any new features.

I saw face morph, and it suggested celebrities to morph with. So I chose Zayn Malik. I assumed it would look nothing like me, but it pretty much just gave a picture that was like "this is you if you were actually attractive." I'm so dumb to think I could use a celebrity picture and not end up envious of the result. I thought I had made progress with accepting myself, at least looks wise, but now I've been stressing and obsessing over this stupid picture. Ugh... Anyways, here are the pics...

Morphed with Zayn Malik:

Like, why can't I be that guy? It basically just sharpened some features and darkened things up a bit, and it's a million times better looking than me.

You can be, if you apply a ton of cosmetics and get professionally photographed and photoshopped like the images it's using to morph you with.

This is just another reason why social media is awful. It's tricking you and so many others into thinking you look bad, but you don't.

Second pic looks too dolled up and fancy for my tastes I prefer the first pics look but I can see the appeal of either pic, good looking pic either way
I am a mess and Felicia is the cleaner....

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
1st pic looks good!

The 2nd pic does do a neat suggestion which is to get your hair out of your forehead/cleaned up a lil.

Pretty cute/10
You haven't set a signature for the message boards yet
You have to be honest with yourself.
Say you looked exactly like that guy in the second pic, what about your current situation changes? You're already more attractive and taller than the average man. It's all about what's inside.

I guess. I suppose I was more expecting a different result, one that looked like an entirely different person rather than just a better version of myself.

I guess I can see that. I'd still rather be the second one though.

Hah, I've spent the last 18 or so hours in my bedroom in the dark. I'm surprised my hair was not more of a mess. Also, I don't really know how to style it. I do brush it better when I'm going to work and keep it out of my face, but it doesn't look like the other pic.

I guess I just assumed a guy that looked like that wouldn't ever be hurting for friends or love interests. You're right though, I'd still be the same loser on the inside though.

really not that much of a difference, and absolutely within reach, could probably pull it off with a bit of facial hair shaping and hairstyling

They're barely even different.

I used faceapp once and never again, it made me feel so bad about my looks - you look fine though, pretty similar to the faceapp one, you're defo not unattractive in any way, these apps are the devil for making people feel insecure and upset, get rid of it imo like I did
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

I'm sure if I showed your picture with random people on the street they would say the same thing about you.

Why do you think that looks matter for having friends?

Maybe if I could actually grow good facial hair. It gets all wiry and scraggly, and doesn't fill in very well at all. Guess I could look into hairstyling at least.

Well, I've always been insecure about it. Just wasn't feeling it much today. I simply didn't expect it to give me an improved picture of myself in return. I thought it'd actually combine the two pictures.

Is that who he is? I honestly didn't know.bive heard the name before and chose him to see if I recognized him when it showed pictures. I didn't, but I just went with it any way.

Listen

From the stories of your life, I expected you to look soft and downtrodden and unattractive.

But as a hot guy myself, you're attractive. Shockingly so.

Like I'm not even saying that to be nice, yall know I will be mean for the slightest kernel of truth.

I am, but I guess it just doesn't show in the surface how most people think it would. I've gotten comments about looking dead inside based on my eyes though. The window to the soul and all that.

Thank you.
I had actually mostly stopped caring about it, and accepted that I can't know what others think about me. This just stirred it all back up to see basically see a better version of myself. Made me feel really insecure again.

More fun to create LORAs and cosplay yourself. FaceApp is for ugly women and scammers
you can just get some hair dye for like $10 >_>

that's the only difference I noticed
I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen...
Second pic just seems brighter and with your hair out of your face.

Your doubt and insecurities will lie to you.

It's like night and day though.

The only difference between the two pictures is a couple of pounds and less light

Nothing beyond your reach
Hm... I guess I'll trust you guys. Thank you all for the kind words. I mean, I see a massive difference but you guys don't really have a reason to lie to me, and mostly say the same thing. Maybe it is just in my mind then.

Yeah, that was my reaction to seeing a picture of Koga the first time. He's a good looking dude. Not sure why he's so hard on himself.

Seriously, Koga, just neaten up the edges of your beard, style your hair a bit and wear a nice outfit and women will be checking you out a ton. Your biggest hurdle then will be your mental health.
