Dont want to be the ugly duckling


Question Posted Sunday May 21 2006, 6:42 pm

I have always kinda had seld esteem issues, all of my friends are gorgeous and i feel like i am the ugly duckling. You know in movies how their is a group of pretty girls and then they have an ugly friend, and one guy has to "take one for the team" and hang out with her.....i feel like that girl.

Its not that i'm fat, (5'9, 110 pounds) i know i'm not fat, i just never feel pretty.My friends tell me i'm pretty but i feel like that doesnt count because they cant call me ugly, i'm their friend. Any advice to boost my self esteem?

I understand how you feel,I'm the same way,one thing to do is save some money,and ask your mom to drive you and a bunch or a few friends to the mall and get a total make-over you will feel so beautiful,I did!

Good Luck

love,
The other ugly duckling

Just remember that you can't change who you are so you have to learn how to live with yourself. Everyone has something that they don't exactly "like" about themselves, but the reason you don't always notice that is because they have confidence. You have to be your own best friend. If you don't like yourself, then how can you expect anyone else to? Just go out there and live your life like you're the hottest girl in the world. If you act like you have a lot of confidence, then you'll be treated more with respect. You need to stop complaining about your looks, because honestly there's nothing you can do. Unless you want plastic surgery, then eventually you will have to learn that looks isn't everything. Think about all of the good things about you. What are some sports you're good at, or what are some talents that you have? Think about all of the achievements in your life. Leave out all of the negative things and fill your mind with the good qualities you have, and you'll feel much better. Don't criticize yourself because soooner or later if you haven't already, you'll find some people who will think you're really pretty. Just remember that people should not be judged on their appearence, but on their personality. You could look great, but if you're a bitch then you're the ugliest person in the world. If you're average looking but a sweet person, then people will like you because of how you treat them.

Hope I helped. Keep these tips in mind. :)

beauty isnt always looks, but personality also. i just got over my bad self esteem by telling myself i'm beautiful, and meaning it. my friends would tell me i'm pretty but i would never believe them i thought that they were just saying that. i just got to realized that i am beautiful, and you should try to also. i'm sure you are pretty you just need to make yourself know that. beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so if you consider yourself pretty, then you'll be so much happier and you should try to get over your imperfections and flaws and focus on all the good things about you
