Why do I feel less confident in myself now that I'm prettier?
when I was younger I was pretty ugly.. but I felt a lot better about myself than I do now. Like it's weird, I now think in my mind that I'm ugly and everything until I look in a mirror and I'm always surprised that I actually look good.. so why do I feel so bad about myself? I feel like I'm a lot harder on myself than I am with others. I feel awkward and self conscious.. I wish I could just be more confident but idk what to do.

You're finding out that being confident has nothing to do with how you look. Everybody has something, that magic ring they pursue and think that if they could just get to that goal (more money, better looks, lose weight, bigger house, etc.) then their lives will be great. The truth is, happiness has nothing to do with those things. True confidence has to do with knowing who you are, what you want out of life, and going for your dreams. You don't feel better when you look in the mirror because you don't feel better inside. Join a group, learn a new skill, pursue something you've always wanted to do. Meet as many different types of people as you can. Get to know what you love, what you're good at, and what you want for your future. As you grow and develop in those areas, you will find yourself becoming a more confident person. Its good to feel attractive. But that only counts if the outside matches the inside. You've got the outside part figured out. Now you just need to let the inside part catch up.
