How do I raise my confidence?

Question

How do I raise my confidence? I just feel so...Ugly. All my friends are pretty, or beautiful. I just like what i see in the mirror whenever i wake up. Any suggestions?

p.s- I don't want to read that lecture on how "beauty comes from within" or whatever.

Answer 1

Be happy & smart, if you can't be pretty be smart and HAPPY. I once knew a girl who was not very attractive and kind of chunky. She did have beautiful hair though. She was always happy, funny, kind, talkative, always smiling, laughing, and she was a straight A student.. she got all the dates! no lie. If you got a great body and and a pretty face, it ain't nothing without the personality, especially if your stupid!. So true!

Answer 2

I'd like to give you a lecture on how "beauty comes from within" but i won't. :P

Here are some ideas:

1. Go shopping! Find an outfit that makes you feel great and strut your stuff!!

2. Haircut. Change your hair. Get a new hip(whatever you consider hip) cut and rock it with your new outfit lol.

3. SHOESSS. I'm not sure what kind of style you like but I know that when I buy a new pair of nike dunks, I feel like a million bucks.

You also have to get into the mind frame that you do indeed look good. If you give off the impression that you are comfortable with how you look, other people will notice you more because of your new found confidence. You just need a little kick start.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

find something you like..sport or writing or club or music...get involved in that. meet people with the same interests as you. you aren't competing with anyone, and we are our hardest critics..
