:o
Like a lot of other girls, I have really bad self esteem. I'm really shy. People tell me all the time I'm pretty, I just dont see it. I've recently been on a diet [even though I wasn't really fat when i started] and lost over 20 pounds. Shouldn't I feel better about myself? I'm always wondering how people think about my looks and what they're thinking about about me. School is starting in a week and I know I'm gonna be going crazy with thinking about it. Is there anything I can do to help me start feeling good about myself?
Thanks :]

First of all, everyone is beautiful. I know that sounded corny, but it's true. Looks aren't the only thing that makes someone pretty. It's their attitude and their personality too. And you definitely don't have to be skinny to be beautiful. If you didn't think you were fat, why did you go on a diet? To please other people, right? It shouldn't matter what they think of you as long as you love yourself. If you don't see anything wrong with you, then you shouldn't have to change yourself. If losing weight and dieting isn't making you happy, then don't do it. Period. Another part of what makes a person beautiful is their confidence. If you constantly think you suck, other people will too. Now I'm not telling you to be cocky, because that's never good, but don't be so hard on yourself. I know this is getting really long and probably annoying to read, so let me leave it at this. My advice: Don't worry so much as to what other people think. If you like yourself, that should be all that matters. You true friends will love you for whoever you chose to be. They won't make you try to be anything that you're not. Those are the ones worth keeping. The ones that make you feel good about yourself.
Best wishes. ♥
