I hate myself for being dark skinned

I have very dark skin. All my life I have been teased about my skin color. It started when I was in elementary school. I wanted a boyfriend so bad

Old I hate myself for being dark skinned
I have very dark skin. All my life I have been teased about my skin color. It started when I was in elementary school. I wanted a boyfriend so bad but only the white girls had boyfriends. I felt so ugly with my dark skin and nappy hair. Then when I got to junior high I got teased alot by the boys..one boy always called me blackie or ugly in front of our friends all the time. They made a list of people who were extra dark and put me on it. I asked guys out and they turned me down, only to get with the ugly fat latina girl. The lightskin girls treated me like shit and always made little sly comments about my hair or being dark. My stepbrother used to tell me constantly that dark skin girls are ugly and nobody dates us because lightskin and white girls are prettier..it really hurt my feelings and shattered my self esteem. One day my dad says to me "damn your black" my aunt was there and she looked shocked and told him "so are you" and he goes "yeah but not that dark"..Im in my late 20's now and it still plagues me..one time i was with my lighter skin friends and we were chilling with these guys. They were leaving and asked me what my name was again because he forgot. I said cool no big deal and repeated it. Then he remembers my light skin friends name and she was commented and he said "of course I remembered, its because your light skin"..All my life Ive been made to feel worthless because of the color of my skin. I didnt do anything to anyone Im not a bad person but I get treated like crap by black people. It makes me sad My self esteem is so low I cant look people in the eye, I barely speak, I have severe social anxiety..Im angry because I dont want to get hurt again so I lash out at people but thats because im hurting..so all you ignorant black fuckers who treat people badly because of their skin color I hope you realize how deep your words can cut someone..

Dark skin is beautiful, please believe that.

Old Re: I hate myself for being dark skinned
I can't tell if you're being serious or not...but in the off chance that you are, boo, you need to get some self-affirmation going on. I think every Black person goes through this regardless of hue (some of us have it harder than others). Only thing I can tell you is you're the one in control of how you feel. It's hard to over come especially when our society is constantly bombarding us with the message that Black = inferior/ugly/etc, but you have the power to change it. At least within yourself. It'll help if you limit your contact with people who are ignorant enough to disrespect and denigrate you because of your appearance.

Old Re: I hate myself for being dark skinned
Hey incog, move to the UK or European Union. Hell, move to Sweden. Your beauty will be more appreciated there. Don't waste time hating yourself. Leave your surroundings, get some culture, see the world. Not all people are colorstruck.

Old Re: I hate myself for being dark skinned
Don't be ashamed, having dark skin and kinky hair should be something your proud of. It's what makes you different and an individual. I understand though about others words hurting you. There are still some things I struggle with (ex: how I look in general) but it will get better.

Think of many women like this who are proud of their dark skin and hair.

They made a list of people who were extra dark and put me on it. I asked guys out and they turned me down, only to get with the ugly fat latina girl. The lightskin girls treated me like shit and always made little sly comments about my hair or being dark. My stepbrother used to tell me constantly that dark skin girls are ugly and nobody dates us because lightskin and white girls are prettier..it really hurt my feelings and shattered my self esteem. One day my dad says to me "damn your black" my aunt was there and she looked shocked and told him "so are you" and he goes "yeah but not that dark"..Im in my late 20's now and it still plagues me..one time i was with my lighter skin friends and we were chilling with these guys. They were leaving and asked me what my name was again because he forgot. I said cool no big deal and repeated it. Then he remembers my light skin friends name and she was commented and he said "of course I remembered, its because your light skin"..All my life Ive been made to feel worthless because of the color of my skin. I didnt do anything to anyone Im not a bad person but I get treated like crap by black people. It makes me sad My self esteem is so low I cant look people in the eye, I barely speak, I have severe social anxiety..Im angry because I dont want to get hurt again so I lash out at people but thats because im hurting..so all you ignorant black fuckers who treat people badly because of their skin color I hope you realize how deep your words can cut someone..
I believed you untill right then, You took it a little too far.
