I am very self concious. Any suggestions?

Question

I think I am ugly. The reasoning is that people on tv and in magazines make it seem terrible to have zits. I have a few small ones-they are destroying. people tell me I am pretty-a lot of guys too. I just wish I coild believe them. I don't have low self esteem, I jjust am very concious. Help!!!!

Answer 1

i was the exact same way and what you need to do is look in a mirror every morning... and instead of picking out all of your flaws, just put all of that behind you!! look at yourself in the mirror and say out loud "I AM BEAUTIFUL"!! Do this every morning in about a week if you continue doing this you will start to see a difference about the way you feel about yourself!! trust me it works... you just have to think positive!! pimps are nothing a ton of people get them

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Answer 2

I think you should ignore the TV and magazines and just remember that they are all airbrushed, none of them really look like that. Give yourself a makeover, get your hair done, your nails done, do a facial and pedicure. Try to do this often and you'll feel good about yourself afterwards. I also find excercising to be a confidence builder. Listen to the guys who tell you your pretty, they know what to look for. Most guys don't even realize the little zit on your face.

Answer 3

Don't worry. We are always out own worst critics. A few zits matters not all at. If people tell you you are pretty then I'd go with that; if you value their opinion then believe them I bet you're pretty gorgeous actually. And remember the best things come in small sizes!

Answer 4

Get some Pro Activ and deal with the zits. Stop reading stupid magazines and stop taking your self image from TV. NONE of us look like them and it is ridiculous to try. Most actors and models are not very bright anyway, so why would you care if you are like them. If they weren't in that business most of them would be working at the local burger joint.


We would not worry about what other people think of us--if we realized how seldom they do.

It is OK to not be perfect. NO one you know is, unless you know Jesus. Just be yourself and quit caring about everyone's opinion. The coolest person in the room is the person who does not care what anyone else thinks. That is why they are cool--not because of how they look--but because of their attitude.

Answer 5

Don't worry about a couple of small zits...everyone gets them. If guys tell you that you are pretty then you should take the compliment and start believing it. Make sure that you are taking the best care of your face that you can that's all. Good luck!

Answer 6

Don't worry....i used to be the exact same way...all you have to do is make it so that you feel comfortable with yourself......use different ways of clearing clogged pores and what not.......try using coverup.....just having a few zits shouldn't be the end of the world...everyone gets it at some point or another........just listen to everyone when they tell you you're pretty cause they're probably right!...you just need to think a little bit higher of yourself..I'm not saying to be cocky I'm just saying to do whatever it takes to make you like yourself the way you are!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 7

wish you would have put a link to a pic but zit`s are no big deal the have things to fix that pro active works realy well then their is alot of other products out thier when i was a teen i used rubbing alcohol every night this dried up the ones i had and prevented new ones

Answer 8

a few small ones won't really matter, I'm self conscious too, and I never worried about a few small ones, it was when the big ones started happening that I was glad I had long hair and sideburns to hide them behind

Answer 9

Drink some liquor, it'll make you feel like a million bucks!

Answer 10

go to a dermatologist.
for anything else it would be better not to be selfconcious.
but acne can leave permanent marks if not treated ,which you might regret later.
