Question

Answer 1

Stop hating yourself so mush. and what did a mirror ever do to you? just take a look in one and dont kill urself b/c that doesnt help anyone

Answer 2

one thing is to stop saying you're ugly all the time. not to be harsh but no one likes a complainer, i mean at first they'll be sympathetic but then it just gets annoying. another thing do not wish you could die because "suicide is just a permanent result to a temporary problem"-someone who attempted to end their life told me today in a presentation. i'm not saying that you're considering it but if there is even one thought in your mind about suicide it's not worth it,seriously. Another thing, are you under 16? i'm guessing but it seems like you are since these types of problems come up all the time in young teens. one day count how many times u say you're ugly then look in a mirror(yes i said look in a mirror) and say i am ugly or whatever however many times you said it that day. then do it again for the next day and so on. soon you'll know how you're friends feel and even realize that you're not so ugly even if you think so. a suggestion if you're still having trouble is wear make-up*gags*. i personally hate make-up for it hides your true self but it might make you feel better if you know you're hiding your true self,which you believe to be ugly. i hope this helps. good luck!

If your friends talked about you that way, they weren't your friends in the first place. Friends will be there for your no matter what going on in you life. Many people go through this, so your not alone. You have to switch the way you think about yourself. Beauty comes in many different forms, nobody is alike. There are people around you that care about you, and know that you're a pretty person. But you have to think that you are too. Instead of looking in the mirror saying that your ugly, say that you like yourself. You may not look like a supermodel, but most of us don't. I struggled alot with this. But I got tired of thinking that way about myself. It's easy to get your mind thinking like that, but it's work to change. You must realize that your life is worth living, and that God doesn't make mistakes with he made us. So, if you think how God thinks about you, your life will change, and you'll be alot happier. I'm glad that you're being honest about how you feel, soon you'll start seeing yourself differently.

Answer 4

I can empathize with you. I grew up in alcoholism and have to deal with how those issues have affected me, including low self-esteem.

You are a worthwhile person. You deserve to be with people who love you and care for you.

Instead of talking about how ugly you are, keep telling yourself that you are worthwhile, even if you dont believe it. In otherwords, fake it 'til you make it. Remember that just for one day you can say nothing but positive things. Remember that you can do that even just for five minutes. Like everything, it takes practice. Keep moving forward and trust in a power greater in yourself that things will get better. It never rains forever.

Answer 5

Stop hating yourself so much. God made u in an image of himself and u r perfect in every way.

Answer 6

You are unique.
Nobody in the WHOLE world can be you.
You are the best at being you.
Don't try to compare to others, they can't compare to you.
That should get you started...
Good luck
