I’ve been feeling really insecure lately. Like I see other beautiful girls and I just wish I were them or looked like them . I feel so ugly so out of shape or just not pretty enough or not attractive enough . This summer should be about fun but I can’t even see myself putting on a swimsuit. I always have to be cautious with my outfits because I feel so uncomfortable showing skin or looking fat . My friends say I’m fine and that I’m not fat but I just see my self differently. My insecurities hold me back from so much . This is so depressing

Try this at the end of the day instead of looking at what others have focus on yourself if we all always looked to try to be skinnier then Becky or prettier then Madison we would never be able to see what God gave us

I totally understood this. I’m the same way.

I have a beautiful pool but I don’t even like to swim in it because I’m so self conscious. Even when I’d just be around myself or my mom.

I’ve found that just finding one thing that makes you feel confident can really change things. For me it’s contacts. Logically I know that with or without contacts I don’t look too different. But whenever I put in my contacts, I feel like a whole new person and I love how I look. Do I look good? Probably not. Do I feel good? Yes I do.

So many guys I’ve talked to say that confidence is more attractive than looks. If you have confidence, you’ll be seen as attractive.

I still struggle with liking myself and sometimes contacts don’t help me. But if you can find something that makes you feel pretty, whether that be a hairstyle, makeup design or piece of clothing, you might be able to gain confidence little by little.

Not what you're looking for?
