Answer 1

God loves you and as you study just how much He does then your confidence will grow.  You will forget all about yourself as you realize just how much Go does care for you.

Answer 2

Love yourself.. appreciate it. if friends says ur are fine then accept it. Its only a self acceptance u needed, U are special.. try to read Psalm 139 and u will know who u are

Answer 3

you might want to look into geting a therapist, because low self esteem can lead to many bad things..therapist are not scary and they are a real help..good luck..i hope you learn to love your self

Answer 4

From many years as a photographer I know that many people do not like the way they look.   I learned long ago that friends are often the best judge of photos..they see the person the way she is while the "subject" can never see herself except as an image but most often as a reflection in a mirror with all the features reversed.  Many movie stars do not like to look at themselves on screen.  Everyone has a "self image" what they think they look like or appear to others...this self image is often very different from what other people see.  If your friends like the way you look (and they are good trusted friends) then your real image is very nice even though it does not exactly match your imaginary "self image"..so trust your friends.  Slightly off the subject but older people often seem to be "made up" or dressed as if living in a bygone era.. They are seeing themselves as they imagined they looked years ago.   Like yourself..you will not basically change and if other people like you then you should be satisfied. Put you effort into enjoying your life the way it is and not reaching for "what might have been".

Hi Hun,

i know most of us don't like the way we look, but we are who we are and no one can change that .. you need to lisern to your friends ..i'm sure you are just beautiful.

you need to learn to love yourself its hard work but it can be done.. have you thought about seeing a social worker/therapist about these issues? i got mine through the church and she see's me for free!

go shopping and buy some cute little outfits and some cute shoes etc a bit of girl shopping!

Hope you are ok

Easy just stop stressing out.

I use to be just like you until but I told my self "This is who I'm am"

It's going to be hard but you have to stop stressing and stop looking at the bad features about you.

Believe me if you think your pretty everyone else will too. I seen it happen MANY of times. People who are not all the cute but has girls on his jock...groupies.
