Bella Skye pulled An exact, precise remark my ex bf made to me when he was down on himself--- she pulled this out of the clear BLUE--she said my ex BF feels likes like he is like the 'elephant man'.
(The 'elephant man' is the true story of an Englishman named John Merrick that had a very rare, incurable, horribly disfiguring condition that made him hideous to look at while his heart was broken inside.) This ex BF of mine had major psychological issues and specifically cited feeling he is repulsive like "the elephant man" when describing his self-loathing and deep sadness.
