Your "terrible secret" is that you are suffering from body dysmorphia. You obsess about your face, your beauty, and even when people admire you, you don't believe them. You should seek some professional help with a Cognitive therapist. It's NOT about the make-up or the color of your eyes, etc. It's that you don't like your own face. This is called body dysmorphoria and has become a huge problem for young women in our media-saturated culture. Please confront this problem because being uncomfortable even around family demonstrates that your body dysmorphia is interfering with your happiness and MUST be dealt with by a knowledgeable therapist who understands the syndrome. With some guidance and cognitive tools, you can overcome this. Do NOT use blogs or this website, you need a real therapist with a great deal of experience in body dysmorphia.
