Paris answered Thursday May 27 2004, 7:12 pm: From what you've told us, you're measuring yourself totally against what other people say and think of you. So your opinion of yourself is completely based on outside influences which inevitably means (whether consciously or subconsciuosly) you are letting other people control your thinking and feelings therefore your actions too. But what matters most is what you think of yourself. Do you think you're pretty? Do you like who you are? When you know yourself better than anyone else, it won't matter if someone calls you stupid, ugly or weird, because you know the truth. We don't need other people to define who we are.
I know we all care about what others think of us to some extent because we are social animals. But we cannot let that rule our life. Otherwise we would be too self-conscious to do anything. So, try not to take in everything people say to you but learn to be confident with who you are. Confidence is definitely attractive and it will make you look and feel mature and not desperate. And you will find a right boy just for you, rather than any boy. [ Paris's advice column | Ask Paris A Question ]
