Even though I like the way I look, that is how I feel. Everyone tells me how good looking they think I am- men and women, boys and girls. I figured out why I have a hard time swallowing it. I did not grow up hearing that at home. My parents never said that. They did not mention that kind of thing at all. Now I realize why it is hard for me to take that compliment.

For me personally, as i've got older i've come tio this conclusion: We all have our faults but i think we tend to focus on them alone and not see ourselves as the full package. Other people do see the whole package; when they look at us they SEE US - all of us and not just the bumpy thighs or the thin arms that the person themselves may see as the be all and end all! It is very difficult to look @ ourselves (in a mirror or a photograph) the way someone else does-have you ever tried it? We tend to be extremely critical of every litle feature too! Who else in this WORLD when they see you in the street is going to do a top to toe survey of each and every square inch of you? Unless they work for a top model agency or something equally as one in a million!!! Also i think a human tendency is to always want what we haven't got- which coul go part way to explaining why we are never happy with our own looks but someone else may well think we look good!!??

We all feel that way, even the super models that society says we should look like. It's our fear of being judged that makes us feel like that. If everyone would just stop judging everyone else the world would be great. So the next time you think to yourself "Oh look at what she's wearing, what a SL*T!" remember somewhere at sometime someone thought the same of you. SO STOP JUDGING A BOOK BY IT'S COVER {or lack of cover =)}

I wish people would tell me I'm good looking! I think I am, but we're all entitled to our opinion. It's human nature to dwell on the negative but its self destructive. Ironic isn't it. We need to actively focus on the positive or we slide down the slippery slope to depression.
Every time you accomplish something, reward yourself, perhaps with some nice clothes. Its a good start toward feeling attractive.

It's a self-confidence issue. We compare ourselves to celebs and models and say their the top of the bar version of good looking and look at ourselves and say nuh uh! not me. I do that sometimes myself! I've started trying to bring up my self confidence. It's hard. Society forces us to change ourselves cuz we feel we aren't good looking. Well sorry we are the deciders of that...NOT SOCIETY!

You could be young and insecure or if the situation goes deeper-say you are negative about a lot of things about yourself, you should seek the help of a therapist.

when something like that is going on with you than it's usually because you have low self-esteem, your self-confidence is low as well or maybe you have been talked down alot about the way you look and that will always affect how you feel about yourself and carry your self.

thats not a bad thing unless you have some kind of eating complex or feel a need to work out all the time and always "improve" yourself. modesty goes a long long way in attractiveness.

BEWARE of FLATTERY, if you think you are 'not really that good looking!'
Your mirror is always right. Don't take others' opinion!
You are the best judge!
