Answer 1

Me too girl! But it starts w/ the inside and it will project outward in your appearance. It's the truth! If you know you're a good person and you know you're confident and secure w/ who you are, then it will show in whatever you do, no matter if you're realizing it or not.  

Answer 2

I feel the same way

Answer 3

I'm not sure "self-conscious" is the most accurate term.  More like, you want to be confident about yourself and your looks.  It's a matter of how you think.  Start practicing this, when ever you start worrying about your looks.  Think: "I look good, and I'm attractive, and I don't need to be concerned about it."  Then, focus on other people like your boyfriend and friends.  Get interested in them and try to forget about yourself for the most part.

Answer 4

You need to stop looking outside yourself for validation and once you do you can learn to love wo you really are, how you look. By accepting yourself, you gain real power. You are no longer at mercy of every glance or the absence of a glance. It is hard to do. I don't know how you were raised and why physical beauty is so important. Is it because you believe without you won't survive? have a good life? attract a good partner?  You may want to investigate whatever the core belief is. Just remember that when you do love yourself, you will be happier and more reliant in the world. Good Luck!
