I'm getting older and I'm afraid of losing what attractiveness I have. I spent so much of my life labelled as "ugly" and I don't want to go back there.

Older doesn't mean "less attractive." I was labelled "ugly" when I was young and trim. "Attractive" comes from within. There are people with perfect physical appearances who radiate "inner ugliness."

One of the benefits of getting older is the folks who called you "ugly" when you were younger (those with "inner ugliness") gain appearances that go with their personalities, while folks like you and me stay the same and suddenly start looking much better in comparison to them.
