So I'm 17 and go to college in England.

I get very high grades and have lots of plans for the future in terms of career and stuff. I'm friendly with alot of people.
But everyday when I walk around college, I feel self consciouss. Like no one ever comments on how nice I look/dont look.I'm very thin and have thick brown hair (when all girls have straight hair)
I know that alot of girls try alot harder than me on their appearence, probably sacrificing their grades along the way.
How can I feel attractive in myself? Is there anything I should wear/do/say? (link)
Sometimes our insecurities can come from two different places, what people say and what people don't say. I find it that when people don't say anything you feel self conscious because you may feel no one likes you. First, you have to start liking and appreciating yourself better. The fact that you do well and school and have future plans speaks volumes about you. And you are friendly with a lot of people which is good. But if you are looking for reassurance than just look for it within yourself. Be comfortable with who you are and where you are going. There will be people that will tell you that you look good or even compliment you but that should never define you. Be confident with yourself. If you are always looking for compliments than you lose sight of more important and valuable things in your life. Your self-respect and dignity is never questioned when you are comfortable with yourself. Just enjoy your life and be happy with who you are because bigger and better things are yet to come.
