If so, how did you get rid of yours. I have one, and it has prevented me from dating because I never feel good enough for the guy, and I always end up alone. So, if you have/had one share your story.

Yes. I feel inferior ALL THE TIME. I can't really tell you how I got over it, because I haven't yet. I have learned though that people do value my opinions and myself as a person. You just need to learn to trust a little. Just don't isolate yourself-that's what I do sometimes and it just makes the situation worse. Good luck!

I used to be down on myself when I was younger. I just started to get to know myself better and what things made me happy, what I wanted out of life. I got over what other people may think about me. I went after the life I wanted and stopped making excuses. I just was me, take it or leave it. I talked when I had something to say, joked when I had a joke. I didn't worry so much about others. That's what helped me. (and I found that people did like me anyway, I just never gave them the chance really to get to know ME before then). Hope that helps!

*** i absolutely did! i'm not sure it was just one simple step tho cause i did a miriad of things...i read self help books, and ultimately left my abusive ex husband. but i think one of the key things was accreditted to Oprah...i put a sticky note on my mirror that read "blessed am i to live and love in such a beautiful temple" and i repeated that silly mantra several times throughout the day. did i feel like a goof? ya! did i believe it? NO! but i said it cause they said if u say it enuf you'll come to believe it just like u come to believe the negative talk u say in your head. u know what? i AM ok. i went back to school...i got my grade 12...i went to college...i graduated w/ a diploma and scholarships...i got a job as a manager in a bank...i went from not liking me at all to realizing how amazing i really am.

Everyone does. It's one of the reasons why we are so different from one another. The trick is not to focus on that, and focus on your best qualities. The next time you're with the guy---ask him why he's with you, what he likes about you. Focus on that, and not so much about what he may not like about you. Everyone finds something they like and dislike about their partners...we learn to work with the dislike part, reason why people who stays together for a long time--stay together.

I had one for the first 56 years of my life.
I'm trying to write up how I broke through to my present self-confident state.
Send me a message. When I have found the words to express it, I'll share them with you.

I lacked self confidence as a young girl (long story). I don't recall actively trying to change that, it just happened. Sometime in my early twenties, I realized I was just as good as, if not better than, anyone else.

Yes I did and still do, it's just something so difficult to get rid of....... You just have to keep telling yourself your just as good as the next person. Have to try and re-program how you think. I am in the process of this now. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!

I still do have a complex. My nose has a scar and people look at me and treat me like I'm handicapped because of it. I feel like I am treated like less of a person.

I think everyone goes through this problem at some time in their life. Think more positive things about your self your worthy of others love and affection. Cheer up you'll find someone!

Yes most of my life and when I met my husband he finally convinced me that he loved me for me no matter what now I am more comfortable accepting that he really does see me as beautiful and charming and all that. For him I am all that! I cant tell you how he did it I dont know it just happened. We have been together 10 years now.
