How can you make yourself feel better about your appearance?

Question

Some days I look decent, others I feel like I look horrible. How can you improve your self esteem?

Answer 1

I know how you feel, because some days I feel like the invisible man.  I cannot attract other women period!  I can be in a room in like about 100 women, but no one will notice me not even one bit.  :o( So, you are not alone.  I can relate to your situation. Maybe you have some type of unique personality and particular lifestyle, that most of us guys can really admire out of a woman in general.

Answer 2

Quit thinking you look Horrible.....you don't!

Answer 3

Accept yourself for who you are, you cannot change it and you are individual. Confidence.

Ps. everyone has bad days ; )

Answer 4

It's totally normal to feel that way about yourself, I find it odd that some girls think they look good all the time which makes me think they're stuck up, but perhaps not.  Even the most beautiful girls that we see on TV and in Magazines have self-esteem issues.  I believe that if you want to feel better about your appearance you have to change your thinking from the inside out.  Look at yourself in the mirror and think of all of the wonderful qualities you exude which make you truly beautiful.  I think a lot of people have problems with really loving themselves and really liking who they are because of all of the negativity in the world, someone told them they were too this or too that, but what really matters is YOUR opinion.  No one else's opinion matters but your own, you have that power alone.  Really Love yourself, truly.  It's not selfish and it's not conceited to do so, because once we begin to really love ourselves than we emanate that quality to everyone we encounter.  It's not necessary to put yourself down because all that does is negatively influence you and who wants that? Try and just be Happy in Life, I promise it will affect how you see yourself in the Best possible way.    

Answer 5

What are the things which make you feel bad about yourself and how can you improve them?  If you can an swear those questions then you will be alright.  I also read somewhere that if every morning when you wake up if you say, "I'm beautiful I am perfect in every way."  That it helps.

Striving to improve our self esteem is on everybody’s mind. It doesn’t matter if you actively pursue this goal or you subconsciously working on improving your self esteem.

1. Build up your self-esteem. You must take an inventory. What do you want to improve or change about the way you interact with others? Try to make only one change at a time. Always check you progress before making another change.

2. Celebrate your journey, not your destination. Learn to always feel good about where you are now, and to exude self-confidence about anywhere you might find yourself tomorrow.

3. Set clear goals for yourself before every interaction. Know what you want. Think about how the people you will be meeting can help you reach those goals. Then decide how to approach each person accordingly. Apply this regularly and you will notice a difference.

4. Be proactive. Take the initiative. Be decisive. Let the other person know exactly how he or she can help you. Proactive people tent to be more successful in their career.

5. Treat each person you meet as if she or he is truly important. (You'll be amazed how this works.)

6. Give a firm handshake; look the other person straight in the eye. Practice both of these. Your handshake should be just right. Not too firm and not too loose. Train yourself to notice something you like or find attractive in the person.

7. Listen! Listen! Listen! Teach yourself to develop good listening skills. Learn a way to remember the other person's name. If in doubt simply ask for the name again 2 or 3 sentences into the conversation.

8. Visibly respond to the other person. Smile, nod agreement, and address him or her by name. Apply all you listening skills to visibly respond. The body language is the most important part of a conversation. Practice, practice, practice…

9. Pay more attention to the other person than to yourself. Are you responding to what may be going on in his or her life? Don't filter out bad news. Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Be caring.

10. Stay "in the moment." Don't mentally cut off the other person. Don't reload while he or she is speaking. What this means is that you need to focus on the other person 100% during a conversation. Anything less is considered rude.

Next time you meet somebody new look out for these behaviors. Put a mental checkmark on the each of the 10 tips and see how well this person scored. Chances are that the person scored very high if you tent to like her/him. On the contraire the person probably scored low if you don’t seem to connect.

Creating a positive aura will benefit you in every thing you do. You will create a warmer ambience with your family. You will be more successful in your career. Even while trying to meet a partner of the opposite s*x you will notice a difference on how people perceive you.
