Answer 1

It's sometimes a lot harder to look at your own positives when we're obsessing about our own short comings. Imagine that you have all the confidence you need and then work towards it. Do the things that you are good at which build you up. Remember that you are the only one who gives consent to let others get you down. perhaps write a long list of your own values and things that you find important in life and you might realize that the things you are obsessing about aren't that important to you anyway. We all spend so much time fighting ourselves. Peacefully we become peaceful, lovingly we become loving. Try do things to boost other people up. this takes your mind off your own issues and helps others gain their confidence too! Good luck! you are not alone!

Answer 2

Just remind yourself of all your good characteristics and forget about the bad ones.

i sometimes feel the same and i dont know what to do but i keep saying to myself that looks arent everything and keep remembering what happened to the super beautiful women out there like marlin monroe and anna nicole smith.

Answer 4

Long time ago was so insecure about myself -especially my physical appearance.. I overcame it by thinking that why should I be insecure? I am a normal person and I should be proud of who I am. there are a lot of  homely people and successful. it is a matter of guts. So i spread my wings and faced the world. I also tried to put on clothes that goes well with me...Then I started to get compliments that boost my confidence...

Felling low and ugly is just on the mind... but other people don;t really care how you look...

Everyday in the morning, go to the mirror, take a good hard look, and say, "I am beautiful," with a strong firm voice. Laugh more, smile more, relax more, and for heaven's sakes, don't post any "Am I pretty?" questions on Yahoo! Answers.
