How can I get people to stop calling me conceited?

Question

I am really getting tired of being called conceited...

I do pageants. I have won a lot of titles, but never have I bragged about it. I do print modeling, but never have I said "i am prettier than you" to any girl. I DO think I am attractive, but I dont show off. I think everyone is pretty in their own unique way. I buy designer clothes, BUT only with the money I save up from allowance. This means like 1 month of savings to buy like 4 or 5 shirts. All the money I get from pageants and modeling I put in a savings account, that I wont use until I am an adult. I am busy a lot. I go to a lot of modeling and acting auditions and I am entered in pageants a lot, so when someone who I havent seen in a while asks me "whats new?" I tell them all the new exciting things that are happening to me. Then people say im bragging! I am not! Also, I always sit with a smile on my face, and people call me "full of it". Why can't I be happy to be living and be healthy? I do a lot of volunteering in my

community. I want to help make a difference in the world. I want to go to college and be successful. I have so many plans for my future. I am also 15.

How can I stop getting called conceited? Do you think I am...?

I am sorry if you think I am conceited because of my name... it is just the name of the song by shaun kingston that I love...

Answer 1

Keep doing what you are doing and don't worry about what other people think. Most of them are probably insecure and jealous, instead of being happy for your success. Find friends who are truly friends that see you for who you really are.

Answer 2

Who calls you conceited???

If it's your friends, then you have two choices.

1) Step back and look at yourself through their eyes. Try to determine why they would say that, what did / have you done that could have been misinturpreted.

2) get some new friends. because the ones you have are to jelous of your success to be real friends.

If it's not your friends, then you really can't do anything. It is easier for people to try to drag you down to their level than it is for them to put in the effort you have to get where you are today. So they call you conceited, and probably a lot worse when your not around. You'll just have to get used to it. You can't please all the people all time, and some people just refuse to be happy...... ever!!!

Answer 3

No your not conceited and you are not bragging.You like what you do and your proud of it,it's not your fought that people are jealous of you and what you do.I know it's hard when you hear others say your stuck up or conceited.There is another way to look at that,when you hear it from someone else or they say it right to your face take it as a complement.In other words they would do anything to be in your shoes. Remember if you are being taken the wrong way it's the other persons problem not yours.

Answer 4

Alright, let me get this straight.

You say that you dont rub the fact that youre pretty in people's faces, and that you don't brag...

..But yet your display name is 'Beautiful Girl', and your yahoo 360 profile is all bragging about the titles you've won, and what you've accomplished.

You can't be a model, and do pageants, and still take to heart things people say to or about you. You just can't.
It's almost a rule to not care about what is thought of you.

It makes no difference how much volunteer work you do, or how responsible you are, it still doesnt change the fact that you are self absorbed.

Answer 5

honestly... i don't think you're conceited... you sound like a really nice person... it's rare to find someone pretty and nice... think of it this way... at least they don't say you're a *****... anyway... don't worry about what they say.. i know its easier said than done but remeber in the end yuo'll be the one makin all the money and gettin all the fabulous(sp) clothes!!! live it up!!! i don't think you're concieted, BUT, next time someone askes you what's new jsut tell them general details like oh nothing just work, or a few shoots is all... that way they can't accuse you of bragging because you're being hummble about it... okay anyway good luck and be yourself... no matter if people like it or not!!!

Answer 6

if you want people to stop calling you conceited then i guess you could try to be more modest when you're talking to people about what you've been up to. i've been in kind of the same situation as the one you're in. they just don't understand you! people are obviously jealous and envious but you can't blame them so i guess you could tone down a little bit when you talk to people. so maybe then, they won't take it the wrong way. hope this was helpful :]

Answer 8

The people who say you are conceited would probably be conceited if they had your accomplishments, so they judge you by how they think they would be in your position. Don't take it personally.
I suppose it might help to give them several compliments every time you see them, but I can't guarantee it.

Answer 9

Well, I guess if they ask you "what's new" then say "nothing much." Try not to talk about yourself or smile. Ask people about themselves and complain about random things. Hope this helps!
