How do i make myself feel better? I rate high and give comme
Question Posted Sunday April 24 2005, 5:46 pm
I have been feeling like I'm ugly,fat, and that nobody likes me. I have a little poll in my profile for AIM and its like Am I Ugly? The Majority said I was pretty but when I looked who picked what Drew(the guy I used to like and hes kinda my friend) said I was Ugly. And My Friend Emmie said I was ugly too....And all of these people that aren't my friends said I was pretty....but anyways after Drew said that I was ugly I have just been feeling really bad about myself....I'm not sure why either because I have realized not to care about what other people think but now I just can't help it...Does anyone have some suggestions on what I should do to help me feel better or might know why I am feeling this way? I rate high and leave comments if your going to say something mean please don't say anything at all!

If strangers were to tell you you're pretty, than you must be. After all, they don't know you, and if you WERE ugly, they'd tell you because they don't know you so therefore they don't care.
You probably just feel depressed because your friends were the ones to tell you that you were ugly, and that is not a friendly thing to do.
To feel better, realize that everyone is beautiful in their own way. Instead of focusing on the flaws you possess, acknowledge the numerous qualities.

People are mean online because they don't realize what they're doing is bad, since they aren't doing or saying anything to you in person. The Drew and Emmie people seem like horrible friends. I would forget them. But if you think you would forgive them, then talk to them about it. Tell them that you're hurt and let them know what they did was wrong and sure not friend-like.

Most girls are very self conscious about something or another...you shouldn`t worry so much about what other people think. I used to be like that, and truthfully it made me miserable. After I started just enjoying little things, it made everything so much easier. You only have one life, and if you spend it worrying about what other people think, you're only making yourself feel like crap.
