Everyday of my life!!! Esp as i went through so much crap going up then when people started saying wow you're so pretty i just don't believe it like how can it possibly true if i don't see it when i look in the mirror!
I know exactly what you mean, i start feeling good about myself then something will happen and i go right back down into my shell but it really is all about you, people can tell you and tell you but until u realise it for yourself it's never going to change! I'm trying pretty hard to get my confidence up, and it helps having good people around you.
Why don't you when you are feling low just do something for yourself, put on some nice clothes, make up whatever and make the effort every once in a while? That's what i try and do when i'm feeling extra low and it does sometimes work, esp when you start getting positive comments. I know it shouldn't matter what other people think but it's nice when people do say things.
But then again i'm a hypocrite because like i said i am up and down like a yo yo so it's nice to know that i'm not alone!

Don't dread looking at the finest thing God could give you -- yourself. He obviously made you for some reason, and He gave you YOUR own personal quirks and good qualities for a reason too! Be thankful for what you have, not what you wish you had. Be yourself. Accept yourself for who you are...
Try saying at least ONE confident thing about yourself a day. It helps! (Comparing yourself to uglier people isn't going to help. It might, but think of how they would feel if they knew what you were thinking.)
There's only one of YOU on this earth and in this lifetime, so enjoy your GOOD qualities while you can!
Good luck getting better, and best wishes!

omg i know what you mean!!! Some days i feel on top of the world beautiful and other days like a trash bag! My Mom and Sis say i'm great looking but i know they'd say that even if i had two heads and was drooling...so i don't know, when i had a bf he'd tell me i was hot and had a nice body then i totally believed him after a while but when we broke up i started feeling fat and ugly again. we shouldn't let people make us feel good or bad like that we need to KNOW WE ARE BEATIFUL and then others will see it too:) hugz

i think this is a problem everyone has. i know i certainly do! i'd suggest just trying to be more confident in yourself and accept the compliments that others are giving you. other people may come across confident but trust me, everyone has some self doubt from time to time, its pretty normal.

I think we all go through this on a daily basis somedays I feel like I look good like a Supastar and somedays I feel like I look like a Bum. So you just have to feel good about yourself no matter how you look or what people say the only opinion that matters is yours.
