There is nothing wrong with you, your problem is that you focus too much on other people and comare them to yourself. If you do this all your life, it will be gone before you know it.

I have felt that way before, and I know other girls feel that way too sometimes. It's okay to be self-conscious, but as long as you know that you really are pretty. People wouldn't give you sincere compliments that often if you weren't. For me, when I get hit on by guys, I usually say to myself "why did they hit on me?"
For me, personally..it's like I don't feel like the "real" me when I have my make up on and all of that. And my relationships don't last with guys, so that definitely doesn't help my self-esteem, because I figure that there will always be other girls out there better than me.
And I don't know how old you are, but I am starting to build my self-esteem a little more, because I have been traveling more, and when you come across different people and see all the diversity you appreciate the way you look. Especially for the people who really won't ever be considered attractive, just know that they would kill to be in your shoes for a day and you will start to appreciate your beauty.

I think that every single person on this planet suffers from some sort of self-esteem issues. We wouldn't be human unless we did. Even if you look at celebrities who are famous, they are not always dolled up and have makeup on. In short, be proud of all that you encapsulate. Whether your 5 inches tall or 5 feet tall or whether your 100 lbs. overweight, underweight or in between. There is only one you in this world. Embrace it.

Guys have self esteem issues but they are measured in different ways. These may include:
The guy's height.
The woman he dates
The car he drives
The money he makes.
Some of the guys esteems issues (like height) relate to how women perceive him while other issues like (women he is seeing) is a way to compare to other guys; some issues may relate to both (car and income).
In your case, it is VERY important you feel good about yourself because, that is one aspect of yourself which may damage many aspects of your life in the future.
Good luck.
