Why do people stare at me? v.depressed?

Question

Im 16 years old and im quiet tall.. ever since i was young i was told i was a pretty enough girl but i have low self esteem. whenever i was out with my mom and she met a person she knew they would say shes pretty isnt she. but i always thought they were only saying it to be nice which upset me, even when i put on weight they still said it..back i october i wanted to lose weight and ended up lousy 4 stone, my mom saids i look lovely but thin . Then resently ive noticed people are staring at me and i cant help but think there thinking bad things about me or maybe im wearing to much make up or to thin and look foolish, its very upsetting and im getting depressed! what should i do??

Answer 1

What really matters is being happy with yourself.  I know you've probably heard it a thousand times but it's true.  When you feel comfortable with the way you look you carry yourself with more confidence and people notice it.  To be comfortable with yourself wear clothes that make you feel good.  When you feel good you look better too!

Answer 2

You need to get involved with helping other people.  This will take your focus off yourself, which is what is causing your discomfort.  You can also try a little counseling.

Answer 3

maybe you're really pretty that people can't help but notice.

Dont be hard on yourself, accept the compliments. Not everyone tries to be nice.

Answer 4

4 stone? is that how much you lost or how much you ended up? b/c i might be wrong but that like 56 lbs!!!
