Honestly, I understand exactly what you mean. I wish I could just Peel my skin off and let my true self shine through. It's okay though, no matter what, just hang in there, and don't forget to remind yourself of the beauty you do have in you. You're beautiful regardless of what flaws you might think you see.

This is why I mostly avoid mirrors. But when you do need to look, resist scratching and try buffing with a brush instead! <3

So jealous!
I try to avoid looking at myself at all times. I know I don't pass (FTM), and I'm disgusted by my body. Too fat, too curvy...

I used to have extreme acne. When I crossdressed and put on makeup, I was covering that all up. I liked what I saw. I was telling myself "This is the way it should always be" Nothing since has happened to change my mind. Call me vane. I still like what I see.

I hit a point where I was like, well, I can hang pictures of male celebrities over the mirror and tell myself I look great, or I can transition.

I feel you. I've taken maybe two selfies my entire life.

I don't hate what I see in the mirror but I do hate what I see on my front cam of my phone. I look good in one and super ugly in the other so one of those is lying to me...
