if y0u're anywhere cl0se to my age...it`s c0mpletely n0rmal. Every single girl on the face of this earth has insecurities..n0 matter h0w beautiful she is...and tha fact that pe0ple tell y0u y0u`re pretty after y0u ask..d0esn`t help much. The only boost we ever actually get t0 let us kn0w we`re pretty is wen s0meone rand0mally tellz us..isn`t that true? y0u can say it`z n0t but y0u really kn0w it is. but h0nestly...be y0urself because if y0ur n0t y0urself and y0ur still self c0ncious...there`s tha way t0 fix it..wats tha p0int 0f bein s0meone else and n0t likin` it? just d0nt ask pe0ple t0o much if they think y0ur pretty bcuz s0metimes that can make it w0rse...try n0t to think ab0ut it too much..if y0u are self conci0us d0nt kill y0urself 0ver it..every0ne g0es thru it. s0me pe0ple get it f0rever...but itz human nature y0u can`t change it...g0od luck th0 =]`1 [ xh0neyxl0vex's advice column | Ask xh0neyxl0vex A Question ]

If people tell u ur cute! use that as a confidence builder and go from there. xO nicole [ xiiLoVeyOux's advice column | Ask xiiLoVeyOux A Question ]
reflektionofme answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 2:49 pm: It sucks being self concious i know. My really good friend once told me to be confident. Dont ever think about it. Cause if your kinda sad and just like whatever then people will see you that way. The way you view yourself, is the way other people will view you! So think of yourself as what you want to be seen as. This works too. Once you have more confidence, then everything follows. I hope I helped...
Siren_Cytherea answered Wednesday July 28 2004, 2:46 pm: Ah, I have a friend in your situation.
Learn to love yourself. Focus on your good points, not your flaws. It'll give you LOADS of confidence. Make a list on a piece of paper - brag yourself up, tell the paper what a great person you are and how pretty you are, etc. You don't have to worry about anyone thinking you're conceited because you're just telling yourself the truth. ^_^
Every time you feel your confidence slipping, return to the list mentally and remind yourself how great you are.
Hope I helped!
