I hate myself. I look at myself in the mirror and just want to fricken cut myself, but I won't cut, thats just how I feel. I hate how I look. People are like your perfect weight, but I feel like I won't ever be pretty unless I have a completely flat stomach and muscular theighs. I just can't seam to accept myself. I've been told I'm pretty and stuff. It's just I see all these other girls with perfect hair and skin and I feel ugly! Then, I see these girls w/ all these hot guys, and it makes me feel like I'll never have that. I'm really sad. I don't really have anyone to talk to about it. I don't wanna talk to my parents. I only have one friend who I would talk to but he just tells me to go see a therapist or get antidepressants. I just can't seam to feel happy. So my question is, has any girls or guys gone through this and tell me tips on how to feel better. thanks..
Yes I have gone through this before. It took me a long time actually accept me for me. Some days it's still hard, what I’ve learned is to not worry so much about looks but how you act. The people you hang out with and the people who make you feel good inside shouldn't care about how you look on the outside. Everyone has something wrong with themselves, some just don't show it. Not everyone is going to have the 'perfect' hair or the 'perfect' skin. The best thing to do is to hang out with people who make you feel great and to learn to accept yourself, even if that may be hard sometimes.
-Hope everything works out for the best-

p.s. learn to accept compliments too, those should help boost your confidence, and if you don't accept them people may stop giving it.
