It is way easier to walk around with confidence like you think you are attractive. And sure enough someone will agree. The sheen of confidence goes quite a long way.

I am lucky to be in a family with super confident people, and that was instilled into me as well.

I know there are areas I can improve (looks or otherwise), but that doesn't mean I can smile and go around with a positive attitude. You are what you think you are!

Yes, that is absolutely the case. It comes from those people that want to be just like them and are mad because they aren't.

I don't want to be like anyone but myself.

Oh boy, another one. I can't believe the stuff you have been posting today, things to say! Stalking people and now a complex about beauty? Unusual posts.

psshhh

these "truly beautiful" people you speak of are just like you

they wake up in the morning with eye boogers, bad breath, and have gas

beauty is so objective... whenever i here people going on and on about how beautiful someone is i'm usually disapointed when i actually see em in person

well,,,look at the magazines in the supermarket,,,all the beautiful folks,,,they have looks money and fame,,,,but more f------ up than most of us

whitney Houston when younger,,,,was one of the prettiest girls ive ever seen - I liked her "i wanna dance with somebody" video,

and she was a head-case


the problem,,,with having a real pretty flower, is that every male bee will want to pollinate her

And you see these people "all over town"?? What "town" do you live in? Or is your self-image so low that everyone fits that description?

I truly believe that beauty is on the inside and that it shows through in many ways.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Do you really think everything in life revolves around looks?

Here's a tip: it's doesn't. You need to stop obsessing about others and focus on - and fair warning, some corniness ahead, but also a much needed reality check- being the best YOU can be. What do you like about yourself? What features can you play up? Trust me- and other posters who have spoken the same truth- confidence and happiness in yourself will more than make up for any perceived negative physical attributes, which by the way- are not at all bad, as you may suppose. (Ever heard, you are your own worst critic??) We are all unique, that is something to cherish, not despise. You will someday grow old and wish you realized how beautiful or cute or sexy you were way back when. Trust this. And, oh yeah. Those beautiful blessed ones you so envy, guess what? They're gonna get old too.

I am guessing you are very, very young. Stop obsessing about shallow, unchangeable facets of life and have fun and be fun.

Be comfortable with your self, establish your self (this may take time). Everyone has different preferences, and over time its your personality (and work ethic) that will keep a partner.

Had a conversation recently, that I expressed that I thought Heidi Klum was still hot even after a few kids and the divorce. Two people I was with said she never did anything for them. (She is/was a VS model). I was floored...maybe Im just old.
