Ever since i was kid i was taught that mainly through my family and i’m sure i’m not the only one. But now i can’t seem to get on with my life properly, i keep putting thing’s and people off because i don’t feel at my game appearance wise. My dreams are on hold because [...]

I mean did you feel fat (since you have to gain weight like crazy), were you unaffected, did you feel pretty (since you were carrying life). Did you feel different day to day, like one day you felt enormous and the other you felt so great? Tell me how you felt about your appearance being [...]

I am extremely self-conscious.
I always feel like I’m really ugly. There are some days that I feel beautiful, and really good about myself, but they never last. I get especially bad when I get around my friend. All of the guys at school like her. They constantly ask me to hook them up with [...]

I’m just wondering what other girls see themselves as.
I have been struggling with self-image for years, and I’m finally getting over it.
I always hated the way I looked. I hated mirrors. I hated my stomach. I was underweight according to my height and age, but I wanted to be skinnier. I went on a diet [...]

People sometimes tell me I’m beautiful or pretty, but I never really believe them. I’ve always be very self-conscious about my appearance. I don’t even like to look at myself in the mirror. I see all these beautiful women on tv and around and I think…why would a man ever choose me [...]

How can I be/feel beautiful? When I wear makeup it makes me feel good and more confident about myself. I want to change my appearance and attitude. So that means new hairstyle, new makeup, new clothes, no acne. I also want to b a nicer person while doing this. I’m not mean right now I [...]

I’m not sure I understand why, but I feel like I need to look perfect and attractive to everyone. Basically, I feel like I need to be an exceptional male in the sight of guys and also attractive in the sight of girls. I have a girlfriend whom I love very much and even though [...]

Okay, so I’ve had a bit of a problem the past couple of months with my mother. She is the most wonderful, awesome mom I could ask for—except that, on occasion, she is extremely critical of my appearance. I’m a teen girl, and I already have a fragile self-image, and she sometimes tells me I’m [...]

I feel smothered, too warm, and uncomfortable in my own skin. (I’m not overweight if that’s what you’re thinking XD) I’m annoyed with my appearance and my personality. Everything I do pisses me off, even when everyone around me seems to love it. I have this urge to get out of my [...]

well, im pretty shy, not the shyest in the whole wide world, but, you get the idea, i think.
well, yeah, im not shy around my friends, like most people. but, i feel so uncomfortable
around strangers, unless i get the vibe that they are obviously nice, ya know? but, when i stand, i feel (and if [...]

My dad says that everyone is just average looking, that only a rare few are beautiful.
He also said that people just have to accept being average looking and be happy with it. But what if you don’t like being average, what if you want to change yourself and be beautiful? Everyone wants to feel [...]

Well, not literally killing me. But in a sense, yes. A couple years ago, she used to but me about my weight and appearance constantly. She’d be like, "Suck in your belly." or "You don’t look good in that bikini, let’s get you a one-piece." UGH! She got so annoying to the point that I [...]

I’m 24 years old, happily married for two years. I have a great husband who loves me unconditionally. I couldn’t ask for me. He tells me I’m beautiful almost everyday but for some reason I suddenly feel the need for other men’s attention. When I was single I was always getting compliments about my appearance, [...]

for as long as i can remember, I have never felt pretty.
There are countless amounts of things I would change to my appearance if i could.
I have no confidence, and feel so ugly all the time. I’m really bothered by this mostly because it seems to hurt relationships, because I start to feel unworthy/disgusting.
I feel [...]

I’ve had many people (male and female) tell me I’m beautiful, but I know that unless I believe it myself then it doesn’t really mean anything. I’m insecure and I know that is unattractive in itself. I’ve always had hang-ups about my appearance- it’s just who I am. Of course, I am grateful. I don’t [...]
