Is it possible for depression to make you see yourself ugly?

[redrama]

I'm a 20-year old guy. I've been depressed for a long time, and I've never liked my appearance. Sometimes I think maybe depression is making me think I'm ugly.
However when I look in the mirror and try to think rationally I just don't see that happening. I just don't like my face at all.

Then again I work somewhere where I meet lots of people everyday. It's weird how often people tell me I'm good looking. Usually it's said by way older women (like 30 to 50) but a few days ago this 20-ish very good looking girl told me
she thinks I'm attractive. She also kept looking me in the eyes really intensively and I knew something was up. I didn't know what to think. I never thought someone like her would like my appearance. I was really confused to be honest.

This is really driving me insane. I sincerely think I'm disgusting but people seem to disagree.

There's no way I'm uploading a picture here but I hope you can help me anyway. Thank you.

I kinda feel the same way, I have alot of self confidence issues as well. I have depressive bouts but I also think I am Bi-Polar II. I havent seen anyone yet but I am working on steps on getting helped. I get the same reactions. People think I am attractive. The thing to remember is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you don't love yourself, of course you're going to look ugly to you, its a matter of perception. I am also a runt though, I think I am more self conscious about that. I am 5'7'' and 150 lbs, makes me feel inadequate most of the time. Hopefully this was helpful.
