How about exercising, yoga, listening to music, and finding some inner confidence! =) Don't feel ugly about yourself. The more you feel that way, the more you'll think you are! Just smile. You're not the only one.

Don't be so hard on yourself! The only person that probably really realizes all those little faults about yourself is you. I had a problem like that. In fact, i still do. I just had to accept that i was different and learn how to work with what i had. But, first you have to be realistic and accept the fact that no woman is the same, and nobody is shaped the same. Look around and see how many culturally unpretty people are happy. They are loved, are married, have kids, and live successful lives just as those who are the "beautiful people." Looks are not whats going to make a difference in you life; You are. Have you ever met a person that you thought was sooo ugly until you got to know them, and they became so beautiful. Just think about it a little while. Don't insult God by not appreciating the fact that you beautiful to him.

You have to feel good inside firstly. Just wonder why you feel so bad about your self esteem? Seems to me thats it not what is on the outside but what is on the inside of you to make you feel this way. You have to take a long look at your insides ...mind..Etc. first before you can do anything about your outside looks. Make up your mind which one needs repair first outer or inside. When you can make that choice you will be on the mend. Self esteem comes from the inner soul. I know I have been there.

the thing is we are not this body, IE;race, color, nationality, religion, intellect, job, etc. we are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. This world is called Maya (illusion). Why should we have self esteem when this is not our true self. We need real esteem based on our true identity. go to harekrishnatemple.c for knowledge on reality and read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada- gives the meaning of life and how to develop true self esteem.

I find that people who have overall low self esteem can often can trace it back to a particular event in the past. You probably need work through the issues related to it; bandaid solutions may not work. Try talking to a counsellor, at school or on a telephone service.

You have to do positive things and say positive things about yourself and believe them in order for them to come true. Find your strengths, things you are good at. Be around positive friends who help lift you up not tear you down. Join a gym or get a hobby that makes you get outside of yourself. Start treating yourself with kindness, love, and respect not distaste. You won't be able to love someone else if you can't love yourself. The first step to all of this is acceptance.

Join a gym and take some self-improvement courses. Read anything you can find about improving self-esteem. Feeling good about yourself is important. Good luck! :)

Therapists refer to something called selftalk. It's just what it sounds like. We all talk to ourselves - most inwardly, some talk to themselves outloud. Somewhere someone said things about you and you've accepted them as true and now you tell yourself these things are true. Start with you. Stop telling yourself that you are a loser, that you are not pretty, that you are fat. Replace your negative selftalk with positive things. If you have beautiful eyes, tell yourself that you have beautiful eyes. Start noticing the good things. Your self esteem will start to turn around, and as it does, if there are things you'd like to change then change them. But change them for you, not because someone else thinks they need to be changed.

People always say this, and I bet you're sick of hearing this... but you shouldn't care what other people think of you. It's true. Just be happy with yourself. Do what you like, like what you do.
I had a stage where I couldn't stop caring about what other people thought of me. Now, I realize that people who judge me and care about how I look are not my friends at all. True friends are those who do not care about how you look, but who you are inside. Make sure you know who you hang out with -- make sure they are really your friends. If they're not, get new ones! It easier said than done, I know, and it'll take some work, but it's all worth it in the end!
Good luck!
