Im sure you look worse in your mind than you actually do. We are all our own worst enemies, especially with our appearances. Most people are so involved with their on things that they wont give you a second glance. Go out there with your head held high. You are still the same person inside so no matter what the outside shows. Be proud of who you are and never let anyone ever try to make you feel less of a person for any reason.
