I'm really insecure about myself..what can I do?

Question

It seems like everyday I find something else I don't like about myself. It's either my acne, my glasses, or some stupid little thing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to build my self esteem?

Answer 1

How old are you?

Why don't you concentrate on improving yourself, find a hobby, take a class, find something you like to do and excell at that thing. YOu must improve yourself. Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder so stop trying to please others.

One of the keys to feeling good about yourself is making sure you're healthy. Exercising releases some type of chemical in the body, I believe endorphens. YOu would not believe the feeling you have after a good workout. Does not have to be vigorous, but somewhat intense.

I hope I've helped a little. If you're a younger person, I think at some point we all go through that stage of feeling awkward. Trust me, it will pass. Whatever good quality you have (physically) play that feature up. Intense it.

OK, I'm out of here.

I think what you need to do, is let go of any bad thoughts you have in your head. Then you could try to get a facial cleanser, and maybe contacts, or laser eye surgery. Then you could go to a Mary Kay counter and ask for a free make over, and you could just try and buy a new cute outfit, and spend some more time on your hair. Also, could you low self esteem be because of others? Sometimes, the ones who are always perfect, with great hair, and perfect skin, really just know how to do their makeup and hair to make themselves look flawless.

well thats just a bad day i mean today i woke up looked at myself and saw the msot disgusting thing ever. I was spotty my hair had totally gone wild i just looked totally disgusting. But on other days i can feel really good about myself and think that I look like a model (just joking) :P but if you have glasses u can use contact lenses and if u have spots cover them up with makeup or put lotions i think that its just the way you wake up:)

Well, first of all, your probably beautiful even with some acne and glasses. But if it really does make you self concious, why not get rid of them?
1)Get contact lenses, soft ones. They're easy to put in and you don't even feel them.
2)Start taking care of your acne...go to a dermatologist...she/or he will literally save your skin! It's a doctor just for skin. I had acne, but I was my face morning and night with a good facial cleanser (Clearsil), and then in the morning I put on oil-free Clean & Clear moisturizer, even though your skin is oily...it still needs moisturize! Oil free moisturizers are just water based. Use oil-free make up (most make up is oil free that is for teenagers, but just check on the label. If you're not using oil-free make up, its just building up in your pores and could be on of the main reasons your getting zits). Next..this is where the dermatologist comes in...mine perscribed me a cream for my face that has Benzol Peroxide in it. You can buy some store-bought spot treatments that have low levels of Benzol Peroxide or Saliciyc Acid, like Clean & Clear ones, but they hardly work. I put it on my face at night, it prevents pimples as well as treats them. There's some other things your dermatologist might give you, like a pill that gets rid of acne, or birth control. Birth control gets rid of acne really well, especially if you have any on your shoulders. So make an appointment with a dermatologist! You wont be sorry. I dont have ONE pimple on my face.
Also. Try to drink as much water as you can, water will get rid of pimples and stop you from drinking sugary drinks like juice and pop...which cause acne.

Answer 6

i know how you feel but you just have to give up on all the bad things and focus on the things that you like about yourself and your probably reading this thinking...hmmmm nothing...but trust me theres tons of stuff you do like. i promise. also try going to the hair dresser and getting a new hairstyles...maybe a different cut or color...it always makes me feel ten times better to do something like that. good luck!
