There is a word in German language, I don't really know anything equal in 
English, that is called "dafür". it basically means "For this" and it always 
gives you the feeling of not being all worthless. The phrase to it would be 
"Dafür bist du hässlich". If someone insults you, you can use it as a defence. 
It means "(famous dafür) you're ugly". Or anything like that. It's a confidence 
booster sometimes. Slightly.
