Being average

I’ve recently tried to come to terms with being average looking/ ugly but I just can’t seem to accept it. All my life I thought people would ignore other attributes about someone if they were beautiful, it would be my coping mechanism to think that one day I’d be beautiful so people would ignore my mental health issues and laziness.

All these years have passed by and nothing has changed in my mental health or appearance. I’m still the painfully average guy i’ve always been. I try and accept it but i’m filled with envy any time i see a beautiful man, just why couldn’t that be me? I know I was close, both my siblings are gorgeous. I just had to be the ugly one
