repeat after me "I am pretty"
Find one thing that you like about yourself every day for the next 10 days and you will have 10 things you like about yourself. ie nice hair, my teeth are straight etc.
Then find something you are interested in writing/poetry/riding etc and join a club - it is easier to make friends with people that have the same interests as you do.
Good luck and don't be so hard on yourself!

Don't ever feel like that, I know sometimes it can be hard to feel good in your own skin, but please try.

We are all different and are so for a reason. At some point in our lives we all go through stages of self loathing but it's normally unwarranted.

It might be an idea to go and see your doctor, as you might be a little depressed.

Try treating yourself to some new clothes or have a facial, nails done ,wax your bits because it's surprising how good you feel after.Then go out on the town with your friends and let your hair down!!RELAX a little.

You have friends and as long as they are good friends then you shouldn't worry about that either, quality NOT quantity.

Surgery is and should be the last resort if you still feel that way.

Hi there. I too was of this opinion once upon a time. But I have found that most people are not shallow and don't go by looks alone. We are all beautiful in our own way; those of us who are lucky enough to have 'fashoin model' looks may not be so great in other ways.
I am no 'looker', but I have found that the real friends and lovers I have had have been more interested in me as a person than in the way I look. You need to find someone (friend or lover, or better still, both) to build your confidence up - my husband has been the greatest friend, lover and councillor I could ever have wished for.
Keep smiling, one day you will find someone like this.

Well it's tough but here are some ideas.

1. Try not to get too caught up in the whole idea of pretty. We all desire to be beautiful but there is nothing more aggravating than a person who is overwhelmingly concerned with it. It pushes people away--they think that if you think that badly about yourself what must you think of them!

2. Practice good hygiene. When feeling depressed about our looks we often don't even desire to take care of ourselves. It is a must. Greasy hair, acne, and odors turn people away.

3. Put your best foot forward. Try to concentrate on something good about yourself and let it shine through. Sometimes it is difficult to find a forum to show off perfectly manicured toes but you can find one! Do you have a great laugh or sparkling eyes? Try to find the world humorous! Play up your eyes with makeup and minimalize the parts of your face you aren't as fond of. Are you smart? Join groups where smarts are important, school clubs for example.

4. Look put together. Try to dress neatly and appropriately for all occasions. This does not have to be expensive! Wal-Mart and Target have all the latest fashions but make sure to chose wisely. I was a thin rail in high school and all the current fashions at the time blessed women with bosoms! The stuff would have exacerbated those figure problems so I just didn't wear them and I have recovered from the trauma! (Yes it was traumatic being too thin! Too thin was a laughed upon thing in Nebraska!)

5. You say you don't have many friends but are they good ones? A few good friends is much better than many so-so friends. In fact, so-so friends have a tendency to be overly critical of eachother thus making us feel bad about ourselves! You'll know they're a good friend if they make you feel good about yourself and their correction of you is gentle and loving! No person should be the joke of the group!

6. As stupid as it sounds "pretty is as pretty does" is so true! Act nicely, do not attack people even when they are awful to you. Chances are that if you are always nice to people when somebody does say something mean to you, you will be defended, which is so much more enjoyable than having to do it yourself!

7. Through this all remember that you are "wonderfully and fearfully made." God loves you and wants you to excell, this may all be "training" for your future as a world famous psychologist or sociologist!

First of all, YOU have to believe you are worth it, and beautiful...because you are, no matter what size, shape, or whatever you look like. Start off by telling yourself every morning that you are beautiful and worth it - you won't believe it the first time, but eventually you will and that confidence will start showing. If there are physical problems that can be dealt with then go ahead but the knowing your worth is the most important thing.
You sound like your personality shines through as soon as people get to know you, and really that's what counts. Isn't that what you want people to stick around for?
I am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions. Have a great day!

You are not ugly. Nobody is ever fully satisfied with how they look, even though they may claim that they are. Those that say that they are totally happy with their looks do so to try and hide their insecurities thus avoiding possible comments from others about their looks. Be happy, life is too short and we all end up in the same place in the end, "pretty" or "ugly". Try to use make up to make the best of you. That's what I do, and the rest of the girls. Just look into the magazines of celebrities how they look when they've been seen without make up. They cant even be recognised, they are so "ugly". Be happy!!!!

STOP worrying. i'm sure there is nothing wrong with you.
if you are over 18 go to www.hotornot.com and post a free picture profile. and keep checking your rating.

I always rated myself as around a 2 or three out of ten.
however at last check I was an average 5 out of 10.

so what i'm saying is basicaly stop putting yourself down. and put your self out there and remeber a stranger is a friend you have not made yet. so if you are over 18 then just be more outgoing hard i know. speaking here as a 32 yr old guy living alone, no GF and no real friends. spending 99% of my time alone.

I'm sure you are are pretty. just do like i said and post your profile on hot or not. then email me with the link to your profile and i'll vote. as will anyone else who sees your profile.
but remember, this is just external apearance. and true beauty comes from a combination of personality and overall looks.
but physical looks fade with time. Just remeber that.
anyone whe judges solely on looks is not worth being around anyway.

my personal opinion.

oh and if you are under 18 stay away from that site it is not intended for under 18s.

good luck.
if your over 18 consider me a friend if you wish. just email me from my profile page to keep in touch.

How old are you? If you're a teenager, it's common to feel ugly and as if you're not good enough. You'll learn to like yourself as you mature - don't try to change yourself. Try looking at yourself from the perspective of somebody who loves you, and then you might appreciate some of the better things in your life. Looks account for nothing. Confidence within yourself will help you find friends. Try to be happy and if all else fails, maybe you should see a counsellor :)

Dont let anyone make you feel ugly or useless becuase their not inportant. I bet you are pretty really and a lovely person. People might not realise how lovely you are but thats not your fault its theirs.
Never compare yourself to anyone else because each and everyone of us is different and pretty in other ways. My friend used to be a model but ended up burning herself and scared her face slightly. She is still pretty but she appreciates the other things that make her beautiful too.
Take a look at your family and realise how lucky you are. Their are alot more people worse of than you and the older you get the more confidence you will have and realise that beauty is within.

Being pretty is alot more than physical appearance, personality means so much, it's what's on the inside that shines through. People are attracted to looks, but you have to show every one that you are a good person. Try approaching people start a conversation, when they get to know the real you then they won't be concened with looks, looks don't make the person. I know a lot of very attractive people, but I don't like some of them because they have no personality.
