True happiness and self-confidence come from one place: YOU. Sure, a boyfriend would be nice, but think about it: Once that boyfriend is gone, how do you feel about yourself? Not too good, right? Exactly. Because that good feeling and confidence came from the fact that you had a boyfriend, not from inside of you.

First of all, as many times as you've heard this, it holds true: Attitude is EVERYTHING. Yes, EVERYTHING. What I mean is that you should be optimistic and have a postitive attitude, and to be less negative. I remember that I used to be negative, thinking, "Wow, this sucks." or "I look really, really ugly." but then I realized that my negative comments toward myself weren't going to change anything for the better. So, I decided that I would always be positive, and look on the bright side of life. So, I did. It doesn't just "happen," you just gradually become happier the more you stop being negative.
And the result? Well, for me, I was happier, of course (like I said). Also, I became more open to people and made a lot more friends. That simple change in attitude really makes a difference and draws people to you.

Respect your morals. Surround yourself with people who love and respect you. Be positive. That, my friend, is the "secret" to self-confidence and happiness.

I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

comparing yourself to everyone else just makes it harder on yourself. you have to realize that you have beauty that is just waiting to be let out! boyfriends are most definetely not everything..being single and having confidence can be much more meaningful than having a boyfriend. i think you should think of all the things you like about yourself and focus on those things, and realize that you are worth so much more and can go far in life if you eliminate the thoughts that say you are ugly..because those thoughts are never right! let your best aspects of your personality come out..let loose..and enjoy the little things! youre certainly not out of place! just focus on the things that make you happy in life and love the person that you are without worrying about not being good enough..cause those worries take away the beauty of life and you are most definetely good enough.

having a boyfriend isnt everything hun. its better to be single than go through all the drama with guys and having your heartbroken.

but i understand how you feel. if your friends are really that pretty, then ask them for advice on how you should change your appearance. they should know better than anyone else.

just feel confident in everything you do.

lol yeah that's how i feel like all the time too. i guess it's a confidence thing. i'm sure you're not tragically ugly but if you do want a prettier appearance, maybe you should try wearing makeup--it makes a HUGEEEE difference. also, start acting confident...and sooner or later, you'll stop 'acting' and actually be confident--and don't bash yourself like that! be happy and give yourself compliments. i'm sure there's somebody out there that is jealous of you!

That's probably why hun.
You need confidence. Boys think it's a turn on.
Try experimenting with some make-up, and if you do use make-up, try using some more, but remember to stay natural to, boys don't like fake girls.

And if this doesn't help, try asking your friends.

Maybe get a new hair cut, or some highlights.
Or go out and buy some new clothes, that you think you look good in!

Good luck hun!
