People tell me that all the time and I think the same way you do.
I'm pretty sure they AREN'T just trying to make you feel better.
People always tell me, "Come on! Tricia, think better about yourself." But it never seems to help, does it?
It's part of a teenage girl thing. We will never be content with how we look or our bodies. It's a hard thing but its part of life.

Hope I helped =D

It really sounds like you want them to say something good about you. Trust me, when my friends do that to me I find it super annoying. Did u ever think that maybe they're telling the truth? If you don't like the way you look, wear make-up! It can make the ugliest girl very pretty. And if you think your fat then go on a diet and excersise. But you should stop complaining to your friends. I did that for a while and they got so annoyed that they started agreeing with me, they said, yea you are ugly and stuff. It really hurt my feelings but I knew they were just frustrated with me. So I'd be grateful they think you are pretty and i'd stop with the insecurities. NOBODY'S PERFECT!

it sounds like youre fishing for compliments by saying that youre fat, of ugly, or you hate your hair. learn to be happy with yourself, and not always need the compliments of others to get yuo through your day.

I have the same problem, and I'm NOT trying to annoying my friends either about how ugly or fat I think I am. It's because sometimes your confidence gets so low you need some reassurance. I would look them in the eyes and ask them if they meant it. I doubt your friends are lying to you. I'm still working on the same problem you have, I face it daily so I know what your going through. If you need anything contact me!!!Good Luck and take the compliments while they last!!

It doesn't matter what I think. Ask them yourself and get the real answer. Ask them in a serious tone because they may just say they aren't lying just so they won't hurt your feelings.

What possible reason would your friend have to lie to you? If they really thought you were ugly or fat or any of that crap, they'd just be quiet about it. They wouldn't shower you with false praise. Trust your friends: It's why there your friends in the first place. In general, it's a good idea to just say thank you and take a compliment when ever you get it. As that other person says, it's REALLY, REALLY annoying to be with a person who just can't accept that they have good qualities. Be proud of yourself!

hey. i would trust them. if they are your friends then you should believe what they say. they could be telling the truth but then exaggerating it a bit to make you feel better. you just have to use your judgement and see if they only give you compliments when you are complaining about yourself. hope this helps!! :] ♥-X-♥

They are probably telling you the truth. No one really knows what your friends really think except them. If they are your friends and you trust them then I think that they will be honest with you.

I’m sorry for being so blunt darling, but I think they are saying that in hopes you will shut up.

There is nothing so annoying as a girl who constantly talks about how ugly/fat/unattractive she is. Self-deprecation is not cute! It’s annoying and boring. So I have a challenge for you, next time you want to say something bad about yourself, don’t. Instead think of one thing you are happy about today, even if it’s just the kind of lunch you had. Cheerfulness is cute! Confidence is attractive! So stop wasting everyone’s energy (including your own) complaining and be confidently and cheerfully attractive instead.
