Answer 1

Anyone can look pretty. Try looking into make-up, hair products, and new clothing styles. When I was younger I had poofy hair, thick eyebrows, and dry skin. But I changed my look by straightning my hair, waxing my eyebrows, and getting products that work well with my skin. Get a new hairstyle and ask your hairdresser how to keep it looking the way they get it to look. Also, it doesn't hurt to add some color to your hair. Add some highlights that fit best with the natural color of your hair. And the most important thing to remember is that making yourself look better isn't going to make you a better person. It's just going to make you feel better. But looking good isn't the most important thing. Being a good person to yourself and the people around you is what counts. Try these tips and I hope your confidence will grow. Good Luck :)

Answer 2

Do things that make you feel good. Wear pin stripes and heels to make you seem taller. A little make up and face wash can help with the skin. And as long as you can walk and talk with confidence the braces won't matter. Though you really shouldn't care about bout what other people think. It's how you look at yourself that matters the most. You could be the prettiest girl in the world but have the worst personality ever. Personality really does win over looks.

Answer 3

even thought some comments have said that if you have a great personality but people don't like it, then they are missing out on it.... but i think that it's just that much hurtful when that happens.... I think that you should try to improve your appearances at much as possible. You will eventually get your braces off, and you can dye your hair and if your over weight, then make a serious effort to loose weight and be the best you can. Try to made yourself the best you can, not necerly perfect, because nobody is perfect, just the best you can. And people will definatly respect that and will appreciate it. Unfortunatly it's true that many so many people judge people on their looks, but i belive that there isn't anybody who is truly ugly if they don't look after themselves and make a good effort to look the best. So i hope this helps, don't worry people are different, many are jerks but alot are really sppreciative of your efforts and respect your personality. so good luck :)

Answer 5

I bet you're not nearly as ugly as you think you are. We tend to stress over things which other people barely notice. I agree with telling yourself you're damn beautiful everyday and hey why not before bed too! We as females, young and old, tend to feel bad about ourselves because we don't look like the women on tv or in magazines and movies. Guess what hun, do you know how much of that is surgery, heavy makeup, airbrushing, and the like? Almost all of it! You already know you're beautiful inside, and that is something a lot of grown women don't even have - the rest will come. In the meantime, grab a girlfriend and do each other's makeup and hair, play around with different looks, and clothes see what makes you look a bit more like you feel!

Answer 6

first of all...you have just told me you look like over a billion other girls on this planet. You have yet to bloom...Just remember...the braces, acne,height...are all temporary....you are going to grow into a beautiful swan one day...the best thing to do...is not hate someone for how they look..more so for the personality. People used to call me Ugg-Moe yes that was my nick name... growing up ,i started modeling for everyone. Now I have a very handsome hubby, and have many friends and get asked constantly how I do my hair, my make-up and where i get my clothes. I still have a very low-like self esteem and don't see what everyone else sees...but I live on. If you stop caring what other people think...it wont matter to you. Maybe The way I carry myself now, compared to my younger days...make people see past what i really look like.

Answer 7

Its quite simple really...

Forget trying to look pretty and take pride in how you DO look... because rest assured unless you're overwhelmingly average (which typically isn't even a bad thing), chances are you have a fairly unique appearance... and thats always something to be proud of.

I mean... I'm ugly. I have good reason to believe I'm perfectly hideous.... monstrous even...... but I take pride in that. I can use it to scare small children and puppies for one thing. >=D ...


And if nothing else... you could at least be glad that you're not going to be swarmed by shallow guys.... and that when eventually someone does decide to like you.... it will be for who you are rather than what you look like.
Typically the "pretty" girls use their appearance as an excuse to let their brains rot... Afterall, they don't need 'em .... So forget about 'em. You're better than that.


[Oh, and don't listen to the religious nuts. I'm sure you know that already, but they'll just go on about god and similar crap, and it never means much anyway...]

Answer 8

Diamond is completely right. You have to look in the mirror and tell your self how good looking you are. Compliment yourself on *something*. I know it sounds stupid. But, it does work, trust me! Even if you dont actually believe what you are saying, just do it anyway. Give it a try for a week or two. I hated myself when I was younger and I started looking at myself in the mirror and saying "Oh my gosh, I am looking so good today" (even if I felt as ugly as a donkeys behind). I can't even explain why it works, but my self esteem started going up and up.

Answer 9

Focus on your strong points. If people are only interested in you because of how you look, you don't need them. Personality is the most important, so if you're happy with that who cares about the rest. If you really want a new look, get a makeover. It helps you to feel fresh and like a new person.

Answer 10

Self trust and social nervousness are matters you need to manage on your brain. A drug is not the rapid repair it looks to be, it is only a masks. You would normally advantage from a few psychotherapy or anything like that to get to the basis of why you lack trust.
