Hi, I'm a 15/F. I guess you could say I have like average self esteem. Some days I think I look SO adorable. But other days I hate everything about myself. For example: I bought a shirt and when I tried it on I loved it , then I tried it on at home and I thought it made me look horrible. Does anyone know why this happens to me & what I could do to fix it ? Thanks in advance.
alyssa_ann answered Saturday August 28 2004, 11:02 pm: maybe you are having mood swimgs. try and wear it to school and see if anyone says like oh i love your shirt you look so pretty and that might cheer you up. I have the same problem sometimes. but just try that and see. [ alyssa_ann's advice column | Ask alyssa_ann A Question ]

blondebombshell33 answered Saturday August 28 2004, 3:30 pm: Hey sweetie! I just wanted to say that I am 16 and I totally know how you feel.... believe me it happens to all teenage girls. Its just part of growing up. Even the most gorgeous girls feel this way too! Britney Spears even admitted to not liking her nose and body. There are going to be days when you feel fat, ugly etc.... but when I feel like an Ugly Stepsister, I try to make myself feel better by buying some new mascera or a cool new eyeshadow color or even a sexy hot pink skirt. You also have to realize that everybody is more concerned about what they look like that their not going to notice every detail like you do about yourself. Like that blemish you have or that your blacks don't match. Sometimes you an also try to change up your look a bit. (I wuld recomend not to drastic) but get some sexy new highlights and buy those black boots that you swore you'd never wear. Guys say that one of the sexiest things about girls is confidence. So have confidence in yourself, show off those curves and smile because you are gorgeous! [ blondebombshell33's advice column | Ask blondebombshell33 A Question ]
funkychick107 answered Saturday August 28 2004, 2:40 pm: You know what? this happens to me, too. That's just how some ppl r, they think stuff looks bad on them and it really dosent. So I say wear what you want- and if people look @ u weird, then just don't wear it again! It's pretty simple, I think. But if you're still unsure, ask the opinion of someone who works in the store u bought the piece from. Hope I helped! [ funkychick107's advice column | Ask funkychick107 A Question ]
Beccah answered Saturday August 28 2004, 2:16 pm: you might just be having mood swings... make sure you really like something before you buy it cuz it happens all the time... it looks get at the store but when u get home it looks horrible... this is normal and it should probably stop pretty soon... just relax and trust yourself! hope i helped! :) [ Beccah's advice column | Ask Beccah A Question ]

Problemhelper193 answered Saturday August 28 2004, 1:34 pm: This problem happens to alot of people. Just remember that your beautiful and if you want to change something about yourself that is fixable then do it as long as you do it for yourself and not for anyone else [ Problemhelper193's advice column | Ask Problemhelper193 A Question ]
Paige answered Saturday August 28 2004, 1:24 pm: I am the same way. I try it on and ask my friends if it looks okay. if they say it looks okay then I wear it and if they say it doesn't, then I return it. I think it is just a phase so I wouldn't worrie about it. Well let me know who it goes. Hope I helped. Rate please! ~Paige~ [ Paige's advice column | Ask Paige A Question ]
musicbox379 answered Saturday August 28 2004, 1:20 pm: The best thing to do is find the things that make you feel good about yourself and do them every chance you can. Also it might help to use affirmations (I am Beautiful, I am Smart,ect.). Think of every negative statement you tell yourself and turn it into a positive statement. This will also help youfind the good in everything and everyone. Just remeber, everything is beautiful in life. You just have to see it! And you will,just keep your thoughts positive. Hope this helps :) [ musicbox379's advice column | Ask musicbox379 A Question ]
yellowcardluver08 answered Saturday August 28 2004, 12:46 pm: I totally understand. I think that in your mind you're thinking its too good to be true. So without trying, or even realizing it, your looking for your flaws. What you need to do is do and wear what feels good. Not that I would walk around everyday to dances in sweatpants because it feels good, there is a different type of feeling good or at least regarding to clothes. When I put something on and I look good I know it a lot of the times. I smile and say in my head that I look good. It boosts my self esteem and really truly just makes me feel good. Just do what you feel is right there is no other way to explain it!
cutie_babee answered Saturday August 28 2004, 12:04 pm: well first of all cuz at the malls or places when you try on sumthing and look in the mirror some mirrors make you look alot thinner and make you look good in them and at home you either have the normal which should be like um flat but some have the ones that add a few pounds....so maybe thats why and then you look at yourself and your blah....so just wear it and um ask your friends an honest opinion and ask like do I look fried in this shirt or do I look good in it...they should tell the truth it's better for them to tell you the truth then to let u go out in public looking weird which I bet you don't....your eyes play tricks on you so don't worry you probably look really good but don't see it...hope I helped [ cutie_babee's advice column | Ask cutie_babee A Question ]
