hello everyone. well i'm pretty much wondering what to do to be pretty? i know this is a stupid question, but how do i FEEL pretty when i'm truly not at all. i have no self confidence and my self esteem is extremly low. it's been since i can remember. i pick out everything on my body and critize it. people tell me to shut up, and tell me i'm pretty but i just feel like they're just trying to be nice. i don't know how to take a compliment, and i just don't feel like i do anything right. i don't know it's just getting terrible. i feel like i'm 1000 pounds, and discusting.
-if anyone has any help, that'd be amazing.
thanks in advance.
Flaws are what make us all beautiful. You either have to learn to accept them or learn how to enhance them. For example, you aren't comfortable with your weight (along with millions of other teenage girls.) Instead of putting yourself down & criticizing everything about your body, wear stuff that compliments it. If you're like me & have issues with your waist/stomach, try different tops that make you look good. Experiment with different makeup & hairstyles. It helps a lot! I know that if I didn't wear any makeup or dye my hair the color I liked it, my self esteem would be in the negatives. There's nothing wrong with making minor changes about yourself. If it's reasonable & it raises your self confidence (& happiness) then go for it. I'm sure every girl out there can point out 20 things they hate about themself; no one is perfect. Just learn to focus on the things that you love about yourself instead of focusing on the things you wish you could change. As cliche as it sounds -- your appearance isn't what matters, it's your personality. :D
