CancerianMoonPrincess........being confident does not equal egotistical.....and remember...you are your own worst critic...what you see as more beautiful, most likely is not what the guys see....there is no contest in life to see who gets the most guys...just be happy, and love yourself.
Once we are out of high school no one really cares who gets what guy except ourselves. You are too hard on yourself. Do not look around and compare yourself to other girls. You are the only person on Earth just like you, and that makes you special. Every one, even the girls you see as really hot, has insecurites and things they have to work on. Just learn to love yourself, and others will too.

Learn to love your good qualities..I have such high self esteem..I dont have big boobs..or perfectly straight teeth..But I do have confidence..I have nice qualities that I love showing off...My motto is I'm just so freakn damn cute...
This might be a bit cliche, but seriously, how do I become confident in myself without becoming an egotist?? Also how do I stop comparing myself to other girls who I think (and I think the guys do too) is more attractive than me and gets more guys??
I cannot tell you how discouraging it is to want to talk to a guy that I want to, and then some other girl who's waaaaayyy hotter than me (no homo) shows up first!
I have no problem admitting I struggle with this too. I am constantly feeling inadequate when I compare myself to others and I think it is more common than people let on. A lot of people want to say they are so confident and don't do this but they do. I don't have any advice, just want to let you know I struggle with this too!

I think we all struggle with this from time to time. I think it's much harder when you are younger. The older you get - hopefully the less you compare yourself with other people and are more content with yourself. When I was in my 20's, I remember all my friends in their 30's, 40's, etc. - would tell me how much happier they were in their 30's than in their 20's. They all said that they stopped caring about what other people thought so much and were so much more comfortable with themselves. I found this to be true for myself as well.
I think what most of us are sharing in this thread are the ways that we overcame this or the tricks we use to overcome this still.

I hope so! I will be 28 soon and I've heard good things about being in your 30's..I'm looking forward to becoming more confident and assured with who I am. I am not someone with terrible self esteem who hates myself or anything, but I do compare and find myself coming up short quite often...
Oh, yeah?! Is that why you ask us every other day which part to shave or not shave?!
Nothing to do with relationships.
