Meet 25 year old Lizzie Velasquez who was once tagged"World's Ugliest Woman"

This will bring you to tears...25-year-old Lizzie Velasquez was born with a very rare  syndrome that is still undiagnosed(Only two other people in the whole world have it). The condition prevents her from gaining weight .
Before people knew about it, she was bullied and insulted because of her "look".A few years ago, she was named the world's ugliest woman in a video which went viral..She is now a friend to many celebrities, a motivational speaker and earns a good living because she din't let it weigh her down..

..In a recent interview with E,she opened up on getting past the hate..
"It's a process that I had to figure out, of how to handle negative comments. When I was younger, I would just sit there and read every single one and obviously, it was awful. There were times when I felt like people were physically putting their hands through the computer and really hurting me on purpose.There's days where I'm like, in my mind, ‘I wish I could tell this person something!' But it's not going to accomplish anything. It's just going to be me sinking down to their level and a never-ending battle of hiding behind a computer screen."If someone compliments me on my eye makeup, I get really excited, because I can only see out of one eye, so I'm literally putting makeup on blind."
You think you have issues with your looks then you see a lady like this and feel foolish and ungrateful...  More photos below


 She also has over 90,000 followers on instagram who tell her how beautiful she is and encourage her

  9. Such a sad tale with a promising end...So many people are going through a lot, but I'm glad she's using it positively to influence. I don't think her Instagram followers are mocking her....just as the whites are great at bullying, they also know when to rally around and inspire someone. Those kind words are simply act of love to keep her sane and alive from committing suicide. I recently worked with a young actor who is a exact male replica of her....except that he is Nigerian. We all have an unlimited capacity to love. The only thing that limits us from loving others are the 'conditions' we place on loving. Its not difficult to see that if she had a bit more flesh on her, she and her smile would actually be beautiful. It takes more than just eyes to see real beauty.
