low self esteem, kiddo. the good news is, you are always better than you think! what you see as plain, others will see as beautiful. how do you define beauty anyway? you need to be happy with yourself first. stop looking in the mirror and get out there and DO something positive. when you feel good about yourself, you will have more confidence, which will in turn make you look good!

People tell me the same thing, and I felt the same way. There isn't anything wrong with you, it sounds like you just have self-esteem issues, which a lot of people have. Looking in the mirror, a lot of people pick themselves apart. You need to find something that you LOVE about yourself, and focus on that. If you don't like something, compliment yourself on that, until you start to know it as your truth. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks; if you don't think it, then it doesn't matter what anyone else says. There are tons of ways to improve your self-esteem! Even working out helps a lot. Just find out what works for you.

I've always felt that pretty and plain is the way one looks. Beautiful is the way one is. I've known some very pretty people who are quite ugly because of they way they act. And some very plain people who are quite beautiful.
Looks fade, but beauty lasts forever.

Oh you're completely normal. Few people ever really like their looks. You see every little fault, every detail you wish was different. But others, they just look at you and see you as you are, and they have an easier time appreciating your looks. When other people tell you you look good, thank them politely, and try to realize, they're giving you a much more unbiased opinion of your looks. We're pretty well-trained to be critical of ourselves, so it's hard to do that, and it feels really weird and kind of egotistical. But you gotta get over that and learn to appreciate your own unique beauty, like others apparently do. It'll do your heart good.

This post is worthless without pictures. :D
But seriously, when someone else tells you that you're beautiful, accept it. Believe. Even if they're just trying to flatter you, smile. A mannequin can have a 'pretty' face... beauty comes from the soul within.

I wouldn't say you are dumb, but maybe you're being too hard on yourself? Maybe you don't think you're beautiful, but in the eyes of everyone else you are. Maybe because you've seen yourself in the mirror your entire life, you don't notice how beautiful you really are anymore

Well, as an expert on the topic, I believe one of two things is going on here
1) people tell you you're beautiful and then giggle on the side after
OR
2) you possess a fun-house style mirror

I have the same problem. I know im dumb, so its not a big deal. Focus on your positive points. If you like your eyes wear eye liner. If you like your breasts wear tight fitting shirts. If you like your butt wear tight jeans. Accent the things you like about yourself. Its fairly easy. If those dont work try a self-help book at a library or book store, that might help if anything. Good Luck!

Maybe something is missing from your life? Try to focus in other things in your life and full-feel your inner needs and then you will see your self differently
