what do you think about a person who you see walking down the street who can't make eye contact, walks with a bad posture, and looks nervous? would you find the person looking unattractive, ugly?i'm talking about me. i have social anxiety and go through this most of the time because i'm uncomfortable in my own skin around my others and people always say negative stuff about me that makes me feel down. I feel like if i can be myself than people might actually find me pretty because some people that i am comfortable around tell that i am pretty.

When I see people like that I don't think they're ugly, just lacking confidence.
I used to be like that, because I was IMMENSELY self-conscious. I would wear a baggy hoodie in 95 degree heat because I didn't want anyone looking at my shape (even though it wasn't bad), but people looked at me like I was a weirdo.
Eventually (after 2 years) I got over it.
You need a confidence boost, girl.

You are not ugly. Think of it this way everybody is equal in one way or another. There is how many billions of people on this planet. We are all the same. Now for your anxiety I use to have anxiety and how I beat it was every time I went out I would imagine that everybody else feels the same pressure as I feel. One other thing to do set your standards high. It sounds weird but it worked for me.

I am somewhat shy, too. But then I look at all the imbeciles walking around with their noses up in the air and realize that they are no better than me, so why be afraid?

You just need more self confidence. Try just once walking with your head up high and look somebody in the eye and smile and see what happens.

Repeat following thrice a day.
I am doing just great. I like my self, I like what I am doing in my life, and I am glad to be alive.
My life is good. I know who I am, I know where I am going, and I know what I have to do. I take care of my responsibilities, and I take care of my future. I am glad to be here, and my life is better for me now than it has ever been before.

Huh, interesting. If i saw you i would just think you were having a bad day or something. what makes you like this? maybe your depressed, sad, go talk to someone, a psychologist or maybe a psychiatrist.
