Okay so I get told everyday I am beautiful by people, sometimes people I don't even know. I get yelled at when I tell my friends or family I think I'm fat or ugly but they don't get I really truly believe I am, I always thought I was. Every time I look in the mirror I see constant flaws on every inch of my body. There is not one thing about myself I like. I'm always self conscious about looking bad and most the time I stay inside, alone because I don't want anyone to see me. The problem is i really want to live my life without caring about it..I just don't know how...

A lot of girls call themselves ugly and fat just for attention, which is plain stupid. I know you don't do that, and you should let your family know that too. You really are beautiful though. Of course you're thinking, "How would she know if she's never seen me!?" but obviously if people, even some that you don't know are saying that you are, then you are. These constant flaws you see are probably just things you exaggerate without even realizing and then you just make yourself feel really low about yourself when really there is nothing wrong with you.! :) You may not like anything about yourself, but a lott of people like things about you. :) I'm sure there's something-your eyes, the way your hair looked that one day..even personality traits. Honestly, if someone is a beautiful person inside, it goes a lot further than looks. Luckily for you though, you're beautiful in personality AND looks :)Find one thing you like about yourself-physical or not. and use that to get you to accept yourself and learn to love who you are, and sweetheart, PLEASEE go out. You are, in no way, too ugly to be seen in public. I mean, look out your window. I can guarantee you're prettier than 95% of those people. If you keep staying in, you're only hurting yourself. One day you're going to look back and say "Wow. Why did I throw my whole life away and just let it pass me by? Why didn't I live like I wanted too. I'm sexy!" hahaha. and if you're THAT insecure, give yourself a makeover. :D Buy a pretty new outfit, do your nails, make your hair look pretty, maybe a little makeup if you want. Anythng that makes you feel prettier than you are-(as long as it's safe and healthy). Look, I PROMISE you you are pretty. and I reallllllyy don't want you to regret this part of your life when you're older...because honestly, you're not going to look back on your life and say..I looked so ugly that night! You're going to look back and say...Wow, that night was so much fun! So accept yourself for who you are, and get out there and find people who accept you for you as well. Please, for ME, start living your life? Even though I don't know you, it would mean so much to me if you did. I wrote this for you, so now you have to tell yourself you're beautiful, and go out and have fun! :D
I really hope this helps :) [ mwall94's advice column | Ask mwall94 A Question ]
