Taking hours to look fabulous!?

Question

Before I leave to go ANYWHERE i have to look at myself in the mirror fifty million times to make sure i look ok, even if I'm just going to the grocery store. I'm always concerned with what people think of me.. I don't know how to overcome this. Its like a fear that someone might think I don't look pretty. How can I leave the house without being scared of what people think?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Rachel, I can't even begin to tell you how similar we are when it comes to feeling this way. I am absolutely terrified that others will think I am ugly and I am constantly worrying about what I look like. I think that we need to overcome this by becoming comfortable with the way we look. Once we accept the way we look, we'll get over the fact that we need to look our best at all times. It's going to be a process that will take some understanding, time, and self confidence. We can do it, Rachel! Just get used to the way you look and get comfortable with that!

I wish us both luck!!  

Answer 2

Go to the store with NO makeup on. Do it for a few weeks and you'll hopefully get over it.

Answer 5

How do you know anyone thinks you are pretty even after spending hours on yourself?  That is pretty coincided thinking!  You have a personality flaw that makes you put to much importance on how you look!  Do you judge others as harshly as you do yourself?   You need to get over yourself, I sure you think you are way prettier than anyone else does!  Take the mirrors down and brave going somewhere without makeup and see you life won't change one bit!

Answer 6

Well one way to not worry so much about what people think of your looks is to realize that all those people who you're afraid of are also worried about how they look. So, everyone is worrying more about how they look than about anyone else. Ha!! : P

Answer 7

Only you can help yourself. Don't feel emotion, don't feel pain. Just wake up, decide to go to the mall, comb your hair, and go. Beauty will come if you believe it will come.

Answer 10

just put on simple clothes (that you like) and use a hair style that you know you look good with, and only use a little bit of make up. that way you won't be trying anything too dramatic, and worrying about whether or not it looks good.

Answer 11

Be born ugly and have the willingness to beat the h**l out of anyone that bothers you about your looks.
