I really need...?

Question

some advice? I read this question and it sounds just like me...I'm 15... "i used to be really quite confident , but lately , ive been feeling so ugly .. and ive been thinking about it non stop ... when people are talking to me , i start to wonder if they are thinking about how ugly i am , and i have to pertend to be really happy , cuz i usually am , but right now i feel so down about how i look
there is this stirring feeling in my stomach that makes me feel like i cant be calm , and i get this sick feeling inside like i really cant wait to get home , and change sumthing ( like my shirt or my hair or to just hide)
i keep thinking " i want to be pretty !!" over and over again , untill it almost hurts.. . the other girls at my school are just all so pretty
when i look in the mirror , i feel ok , but then when im at school and with people , i have this vision in my head of this really ugly me, and i cant seem to shake it
how can i stop this , and feel better ?"

Answer 1

You said that you look good to you, in your mirror----well, that's what counts!!!! As someone else mentioned, teens often go through periods like this, where they just have a great craving to be like everyone else--instead of showing their individuality.

You seem to be a fun person, and that counts for a lot, too. Beauty comes from within us....not always from our outward looks. I'm sure you look fine, and if you think hard about it....I'm sure that you KNOW you do. :)

Answer 2

baby what you are doing to your self is really unhealthy. your problem is that your self esteem is gone and you don't feel good about yourself. be proud of who you are and how you look. beauty is only skin deep. and that is a true statement. your in high school and you see all the girls with breast and butts and nice hair and pretty faces and you want that. but those girl are not all that. don't be ashamed of your looks because make up and cute clothes don't make you look good. the kind of personality you have and being a good person on the inside is what makes you beautiful. i was just like you in high school. and one day i realize that i don't need to be like those girls i need to be me. and in my mind i was the s*** no matter what people said. i was made fun of and everything and i looked at as though i must be important if you have nothing better to do than talk about me. and you know what: i grew up to be a strong woman and so can you

Answer 3

hormones, hormones, hormones.... during high school there is a pressure to fit in, to look good for the opposite sex, and to seem like a cool fun person. personally, i think it just degrades people and makes them worry about stuff they should. i know i do, and i hate it when i do that. so i try to just do what i want, and if people are gonna make fun of me because of the way i look or act, then that just shows how little self-esteem they have. and when i don't do anything, it may not seem like it at the time, but i come out victorious.

Answer 4

the feeling in your stomache isnt because you are sick, its just because, your hormones are acting up and you are not self confident. i kno exactly how you feel. i'm sure you are very pretty, i would talk to some friends, maybe go shopping w/ them or get make overs together, thats what i do when i'm feeling unconfident

Answer 5

Haha attach a picture and I'm sure people would be glad to comment and say if you're ugly or not.

I am sure you are not ugly. I know how you feel, I was the exact same way. Im a junior now and have decided that I dont know if Im ugly or not but I dont care what other people say.
:-)

Answer 6

Answer 7

there's no such things as ugly, only personal opinion, and if their personal opinion is that your ugly than their retards lol:)

Answer 8
