It is a great sign that you can see your strengths, positive attributes about yourself. There are clearly some areas in your life that you could work on, so why not?
Despite how many people appear - especially in public - every one of them will have periods that you are describing just now. It's apart of growing up and finding yourself.
Maybe it's time to shake things up a little. Get yourself out with a good group of friends. Have a night on the town or make an effort to spend osme more time with the people you care about in life.
Also take up some hobbies like exercise which is a very social thing to do which also releases some awesome feel-good chemicals. Not to mention its a complete confidence lifter!
Everyone grows and matures at their own pace; having boyfriends, choosing career paths, finding out what they love in life.. it's cliche but in the end it comes down to experience and growth in your own time.
You'll find the things you're missing in life if you stop moping about them. Talk to someone you trust when youre down, do the things that make you happy, work on things youre passionate about. Youre young, live your life and look to the future. There are plenty times for a partner or popularity. Feel down? do something about it.
Believe it or not, if you take charge of your life, things will just fall into place. Get pro-active, stick with it and you'll be amazed at just how great things can get. [ WingYan's advice column | Ask WingYan A Question ]

These are all things that can be changed, but change starts with you. If you really want your life to go in a positive direction (though you don't really need to be skinny or in a relationship to be happy) then you need to take the initiative and change those things yourself. It's a new year, so take up a gym membership. Buy make-up. Talk to people, scope out guys, go out. Do your thing. Once you start taking a different direction with your life, you will feel happy, and you will be proud of yourself, but you have to be motivated and stick with it. Doing things half assed is not the way to go.
Angelamariex3 answered Thursday January 13 2011, 9:30 am: I dont think you are insecure i think its more of jealousy which everyone gets. You see so many different people and different crowds, different styles, different looks and sometimes jealousy rubs off and you want the things they have or look like this person, etc. Everyone gets that and i think it is normal it is just a matter of fact that everyones different and theres going to be people that are skinnier, heavier, prettier, or uglier then you but you just deal with it. I used to obssess over what other people have and what i dont you just look past and worry about your self not other people. And that way your self-cofidene will be boosted!

AskSinz answered Wednesday January 12 2011, 7:10 pm: I don't think you feeling insecure so to speak. But I think you really want to be in a relationship so you can have that happines they have and somebody to show off. I'm sure you have done a lot of things in your life to be proud of so you shouldn't worry all too much. Don't be so hard on yourself about your looks or about anything in your life because then you'll forever be down because the media make us believe that skinny= pretty. But thats not the case. What you need to do is just be happy with the life you have right now because you have a lot of things that others don't. Use your confidence to your advantage.
