I dont see it?

Question

In high school, I got teased a lot because of my looks. I had glasses and braces for the first 2 years of high school. Because of that I am very shy. Now I am 20 and get told I am very pretty and cute but I dont see it., I look at pictures and think I am ugly and I feel ugly. I think all these people who tell me I am pretty are just lying to me. I dont know what people are talking about. How do I get over this?

I'm tired of being called "quiet girl"

Answer 1

I bet you are not ugly, a lot of times girls don't look just like they would like to look like and they get i their minds that they are ugly.
Us guys are about the same way, Every time I look at my drivers License, I get that same feeling, but my wife says I'm good looking and that's all that matters
Just thank your lucky stars that you don't look like Brittney Spears. Every time you look in the mirror, tell yourself, "not bad."

Answer 2

In highschool you were young and had not become you yet. If you were told all the time that you were beautiful, you would think you were. You don't see it because you are used to being in the background with the braces and glasses and in highschool, those are the worst two things to have. They are gone now and you should accept the new you. You probably are pretty, you just need to accept that fact now. Have more confidence in yourself.

Answer 3

You let the jerks in high school win. They took away your confidence. You need to find a way to rebuild your confidence. Look for things you like about yourself, not just physically and play off those.

Answer 4

i went through the same thing...fix yourself up...have a glamour shot or just a picture take of you...post it on your refrigerator or somewhere where you can see it all the time...if you get told often that you are cute/pretty then i'm sure you are just that...it all comes down to convincing yourself...it worked for me! Good luck
