What Is the key to being happy with yourself?

Question

Sometimes i find myself listening to what other people are saying about me.I keep changing my looks and dress trying to fit in.how can i be happy just being me?

Answer 1

Love yourself and give yourself a *(( BIG ))* hug
don't mind what other people are saying. they ain't you. just as long as you feel good about yourself. y'know, that self esteem. get lots of it. live life to the fullest. enjoy it as long as you can because LIFE only comes once in a lifetime. enjoy the things that you love to do. listen to your favorite music. hang out with your TRU best friends. and in no time you'll be **cheesin** (smiling, duh)
oh and being with the ones you love can make you happy too.
getting noticed by that one girl will make you happy. talking to her and being with her will make you happy. having her in your life and never leaving (hopefully) will make you happy ALOT
winning at your favorite video game can make you happy, heck winning at your favorite video game that took you half your life to finish will make you happy too
there's alot of things that'll make you happy. you just gotta look and don't take it for granted

Answer 2

This might make u happy.
if u r in highschool or lower grade than u should probably expect something like that b/c people likes to pick on at least someone, that can show them as being more powerful/ cool. And dont' worry if they do, cause u r not the only one. one important thing to know is that the people how say things about u they might feel insecure about themselves. So to cover it up they talk about you. You r right on track about being yourself, but to stay happy you have to learn to ignore all this nonsense, cause when u go in the real world(which is after highshool) people wont care of how u dress up or how you fit in a group or not. What they will care most about is of who u r. They want to see your abilites and how u r capable of doing things better than other people. You have a talent too, which might not be used now but it will come in handy later. Those people are still living in a fantasy world where they think that looking good and being cool is the only way to live in this world. but let me tell u this. All of this doesn't matter. cause i have been in the same poosition before and trust me people around are happy and care about who i am , but not what i wear. Sometime it takes longer time for some people to understand, but eventually they do. I hope u be yourself, cause that is the main key to get along with more people. THis makes other people feel more comfortable and yourself too, because u wont have to act like someone who u really arent.

I hope this helps. And be yourself, u will happy.!! :)

The key is to be content with who you are and be proud of who you are. It doesn't matter what others say about you or think about you. What matters is what you think about yourself. We all have room for improvement because none of us are perfect. Don't focus on changing your looks or how you dress for somebody else because that's being done for others, and you will never be happy that way always trying to please others. When it comes to changing things about yourself, you need to do it for yourself. Instead of listening to what others say about you, walk and turn the other way. It's not always wise to know what others say or think about you. What's important is what you think. If you think or feel the need to change some changes for the better, then do it, but do it for yourself.

Answer 4

No quick fix here, you just have to get comfortable in your own skin and ignore the dorks around you. Focus on your best qualities and tell yourself good things about yourself. I know those "daily affirmations" are laughed at, but they do work. My sister carries around a little card that she reads to herself when she's down. She doesn't know I ever saw it, but it says something along the lines of, "you're a powerful woman, you are smart and capable, be yourself!"

Answer 5

If you are asking, "how can I be..." it means you aren't. You should be. God loves you, and God's not stupid. God made you, and God doesn't make mistakes. People are stupid. Who's opinion matters more to you, God or man? Stop trying to change, and develop what you already know you are. Be satisfied with having nothing, then every little thing will be a plus.

Answer 6

Just be yourself. I learned attitude has a lot to do with it. I learned to love myself and think.. I never change for anyone because If you dont like me, its your loss, I have found a lot of great friends who like me for what I am. I dont have to pretend I am something that I am not.

Answer 7

learn not to be a people pleaser. learn about yourself, what you want out of life, how to get it, and don't listen to the people who want to keep you down on their level because they're miserable, and misery loves company. don't keep changing yourself to fit in...if you have confidence in yourself and your abilities, people will accept you for who you are, and flock to you. keep your sunny side up kiddo...it's a learning process we all had to go through. you too will survive it. take care and best of luck to you.

Answer 8

Learn how to tune people out. Don't take everything everyone says about you seriously because you'll never be happy with yourself.

Answer 9

You have to try to be happy with yourself and not let other people's opinions change who you are. We should all have our own taste, style, feeling and opinions. God made us individuals, each of us unique in our own way.

Happy Holidays!

Answer 10

Just accept what and who you are. Learn to recognize and ignore the marketing hype of TV and Movies that push you to conform to their cheesy values. If you really want to feel good, try helping someone else.
Good luck to you.
