I'm not sure what I can accept about myself, as my perception is supposedly distorted and I don't know what I really look like. I've already accepted myself as an ugly bastard, but that is supposedly unhealthy.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder mate,
who made the rulebook on what's beautiful/ugly anyway?
women who i find beautiful, most people i know find unattractive and most women they find beautiful, i find unattractive.
probably psychological too.
but i don't think it's unhealthy at all to have accepted your flaws (if they're flaws at all) but even better is to be unrestricted by them and not place emphasis on them or on peoples' meaningless opinions of them.
one thing i've learnt recently (wish i did a lot sooner!) is that peoples' opinions mean absolutely SOD.ALL.
most people are sheep.
this mindset has helped my anxiety quite a bit.
