lately ive been so self concious about my nose.i think its really big and is the only thing that stands out on my face. everytime i talk to someone i think they are staring at my nose. im not gonna go and get plastic surgery or anything but is there anyway to boost my self confidence?! im 15/f and not to sound like conceited or anything but alot of people say im so gorgeous and i just dont see it! ive never had a boyfriend and i WAS crushin on this really cute kid but now he has a really really pretty girlfriend. im jealous. for some reason im jealous of so many girls! i know people have said just say your beautiful or name off your good traits but thats not gonna help ME and i know it. ahh any other suggestions? thanks.
you may or may not believe this but i was reading an article about self consciousness and it said that like a study showed that the things that people are self-conscious about, other people don't even notice if that person doesn't tell them about it.
and about how you never had a boyfriend, that doesn't mean you're ugly. and that also doesn't mean they don't like you because of your big nose. sometimes it's they don't have the courage to ask you out, they're shy, they afraid to get hurt, etc.
when people tell you your gorgeous, listen to them. noitce you said "people" not "a person" or "someone" or "my friend" so if those people said your gorgeous, it's pretty much TRUE.

Also, its okay to feel jealous of other girls, but just think, there are people out there that are probably jealous of you. I hope I helped you. [ sportychick22's advice column | Ask sportychick22 A Question ]
princessaimeexo answered Monday July 10 2006, 2:39 pm: its normal to be jealous of many girls and to self concious about yerself.
its a normal thing. but if yer so concerned about yer nose, then think about yer good qualities. or instead of focusing on yer nose so much.. try doing something else. like reading a book or talking online or something. [ princessaimeexo's advice column | Ask princessaimeexo A Question ]

ElectricLime answered Monday July 10 2006, 9:09 am: Your nose isn't big, everyone else's is just small ;D
Haha. Listen to them if they say you're gorgeous. People don't just SAY things, dear.
I've always hated my eyes because I thought they were too big, but when I went for modeling, the first thing they told me was that I had beautiful big eyes. Lol! I guess in a way it's unique and they like that. I think it makes me look like an anime character, hehe.
So yeah, just think of ways to make them seem like good traits. I'm sure people are not that judgmental, because I know I don't judge with people, and if they are then screw them and go find some better people who won't mind sily things like that :D [ ElectricLime's advice column | Ask ElectricLime A Question ]
ladym answered Monday July 10 2006, 8:44 am: Everyone has something they are self concious about(for me,it's my arms.lol).It's normal.Even the pretty girls get self concious,trust me!Just see it like this:Your nose makes you unique.I know that sounds lame,but it works.also,alot of people have it worse than you.Some people don't even have a nose!It makes no difference what size nose you have.The size of your nose won't get you more friends,a boyfriend,or happiness.The thing that will get you all this is confidence.I know you are really upset about this,but just remember:You aren't the only one going through this!
Lola answered Monday July 10 2006, 8:27 am: Hey,
I've read your problem and i understand what your going through and how that upsets you alot. Thats why i am gonna tell you somethings that could make you feel much better about yourself.
First of all, there are ways to try and show that you do not really have a big nose ,for example, there are certain makeup shadows that could be applied to show that the nose is not that big, or you if you were glasses, then there is a certain frame of glasses that could hide most of your nose, so it wouldn't show how big it is.
Second of all,if this makes you feel better, but some people in different countries consider big noses as a sign of generousity.
Third of all, and most important, why be jealous of other girls, and why do you think that your nose is big and other people's nose is tiny and cute? Why don't you give your self a second, and think that you have a big nose, and that there are other people who have a much bigger nose than yours. And don't think that its impossible, because it is. Some people don't worry about there nose whether its big or small, they worry about much important stuff. Some people are handicapped and on wheelchairs and have heart attacks, and have horrible bruised and burnt faces with scars on them. Always think of the bright side, and that your much better than other people and thank god about that, instead of feeling depressed because of a nose. And believe me, its not the nose which will make you have a boyfriend, or have friends, or win your crush, and its not definitely anything about your appearance that makes you popular or loved, but its simply your character and personality and the way you treat people. And as long as you are a good person, then who cares about appearances. And let me tell you something else, there could be another girl, one of those who you envy, and she could have a tiny cute nose, and yet she's mean and picks on people. Then you answer that question" how did the nose help her in that situation? or how did help her win friends, or date?"
You...are a magnificient sweet person, and although i don't know you...you deserve all the best, so don't let your self down and lose hope because of something like a big nose. And i 'll tell you something else, you are a beautiful person from inside, so screw the nose and screw anything else. [ Lola's advice column | Ask Lola A Question ]
