How do I stop being self-conscious?

I’m always really negative about my appearance. sometimes I dont want to go out because I am so jealous of all my friends, they are so beautiful and really confident about their looks. The thing is I’m always really confident until it comes to my looks. If someone says something nice about me, well, I dont take compliments well. im not sure why but I just hate them. it’s like im always convinced they’re lying or just saying it to make me feel better, It sounds weird but I really want people to tell me im ugly. I don’t know how to explain it, I just want people to confirm what I already know. I’ve never bin happy with my appearance though. The picture I have of me on here, I think they dont look much like me. I could write a longgg list of bad points about myself. but I wont because I don’t really want to dwell too much on it. I know there’s more to life, it just gets me down. I wish I could change the way I look sooo much. Any ideas how to stop being so self conscious???

I took a close look at your picture and I can tell you honestly that you are VERY FAR FROM UGLY! I know what you mean above though, I felt the same way growing up (now I’m 24yrs on) but I was a very skinny–close to disgusting skinny–in middle and highschool and my hair was never right, I gave up caring pretty much and just went on with my life. Now I have grown into my body, I do my hair and I feel great about myself. Just tone down the makeup a little and accept your faults, whatever those may be, cause honestly I see none except too much makeup.

You will grown into your natural beauty and realize that you are really pretty and we all not all made alike so be happy for what you have because as you get older is fades away! Oh and don’t look in the mirror too often it will make your view jaded as to what beauty really is and also make you narcasistic as you get older. Good luck!

im going through the same thing right now and ya it sux. and looking at you in that pic you dont look ugly and im not lying or just saying that. you need to stop looking for the negative in yourself and start looking for the positive. everybody has lots of things they hate about themselves. nobody’s perfect, no matter how perfect or beautiful they may seem. ill bet your friends that you say are beautiful think the same way about themselves the way you think about you, they just know how to hide it. you just have to accept the fact that you are you, and that NOTHING is wrong with you.

Answer #3

you are CRAZY not ugly. I m sure about it.
