this question is probably going to make me seem conceited but... everyone goes on & on about how pretty i am. i'm just so gorgeous. blah blah blah. i have NO confidence what-so-ever. in my mind i'm totally ugly. there are so many things i'd like to change about myself. it's insane. does anyone know of a ways to boost my self-esteem. i'm shy, i'm anxious, i'm nervouse, & i'm intimidated by EVERYONE. yeah...my personality sucks. when someone tries talking to me i get nervous & sound either completely stupid or rude. can anyone help? :[

People always told me how pretty I was and how beautiful I was but I could never see it. I thought I was ugly and not good enough for anybody including my family, my friends, and my boyfriend. It got so bad that I became anorexic and that caused even more problems. Eventually, I was sent to a therapist and you know what she told me to do? Write down things on a piece of paper that you like about yourself. Anything at all for example: I'm smart, I'm athletic, I'm a good friend or anything like that. Any physical features you like about yourself or your personality. Then stand in front of your mirror and read those things out loud to yourself. Eventually after doing this enough, I stopped worrying what people thought about me and I actually started to see the beautiful side of myself. It sounds stupid but it really helps. I hope I helped and if I didn't then I'm sorry. Message me if you need anything else and I'll be happy to answer it.
