read this and regain your confidence dear..
A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck.. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.
The bearer said to the pot, Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side that's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them.
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house
Moral:
Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them.

You are not alone, I feel the same way sometimes and other times I feel OK about myself. One thing that has really helped me is hypnosis, and I have tried EVERYTHING. There is this woman who has a hypnosis CD for just about everything and I have bought a couple that have made a difference. I am not a saleswoman for her. But I do believe that neural pathways get set in your brain to create habits and a brain can be retrained. Her site is something like Wendi.com or Wendi friesen or something. I hope you give it a shot, helped me some though I did not follow all the directions.

No one is perfect Megan.We all have our flaws,In fact I think some of the ugliest people you will come across are the beautiful looking ones on the outside.Personality is an inner beauty that guys like me look for in a girl.You need to accept yourself for who you are and not what anybody Else's perception of beauty is.You have to convince yourself that you are as good as the rest of them,If not better.Good luck.

theres not way u can be the ugliest person ever. u gotta be good at at least one thing. so ur good at one thing. anyways, some ppl think ur pretty, and u should focus on positives like an A on a test, not the negatives.
