So, everyone [including my mom] says I act cocky. Sometimes I say things like [ maybe 2 days of the week, it's not a everyday thing]" dang I must look good" or " I know I'm the ****" or " I know I look cute in these pants". I think I'm just confident, but I'm worried it might effect my friendships. I do it for several reasons. One, no one really tells me I'm pretty, so it makes me feel better about myself. For two, i like being me and I like everything about me. I also do not talk down on others, and I do not try to offend others. Do you think I am cocky? Thank You.

Maybe just keep compliments about yourself to yourself and focus on complimenting others instead. They will find something about you to compliment and people won't think you're cocky anymore and you'll still get your ego boost by hearing their compliments.

well the fact that you're asking this question and then you tried to give us excuses for each reason why people thing you're cocky proves that you're just a little cocky. typically, if your own mother tells you that you have a problem, you do. just say stuff to yourself and not in front of other people and you'll be fine. but you really dont sound that bad...

Cocky is a cool trait, its greater useful than being somebody who downs themself continuously, the only reaaon why human beings hate cocky human beings is as a results of the fact they experience like they cant burst their bubble.

No you're not cocky, because of the reasons you said. It makes you feel better about yourself, which is a very good thing.

If every (including your mother) thinks that you act cocky, than sweetie you are. People are annoyed with you and have gone from making fun of you behind your back to just pleading with you to stop. so stop.

I have a friend who does this. I think she does it because she's unsure how others will feel about her so she compliments herself.
Confident people really don't need to say it outloud, it's like you're trying to convince others how cute you are.If you're really confident , you wouldn't care what others think. If you need to know how you're l;ooking, it's ok to say,"hey Mom do I look ok in this top?"

Honey, when you're young and you got it, flaunt it...with so many people in therapy for feeling bad about themselves, consider yourself lucky to have such good confidence! I am proud of you...if you act like a stuck up, though, then be prepared to hear the cat calls...but from what I have found,...many really beautiful girls don't have to say much, and they get accused of being that way anyway,,...even if they are shy..so you just keep on feeling good about yourself, I am proud of you!

You are not cocky. You are stuck on your self. People don't like someone who brags about them selves.Give it up or you will never have any true friends.

yeah you sound a little bit cocky to me
you also sound like you have low self esteem if you have to say those kinds of things to make yourself feel better
