"Hi everyone! I'm afraid I will always be ugly. How can I become prettier?

Everyday on E! I see some model/movie actress and I think to myself "WOW, she is gorgeous" and the next thought is "I will never be as good looking as them".

Basing your self worth on comparisons to those you see in media is the road to ruin. Don't sweat it, and realize that you are seeing the best people on their best days on HN.

Should I not try and measure up to the best people on their best day?
IMO you should aim a little higher, just know the road might be long, and keep your nose in it.
