I hate the way i look

I hate the way I look ... all the time. I look in the mirror and get so upset sometimes crying. I want to be confident and accept myself but I dunno how.

my b/f says I am beautiful but I think he is mad thinking that, I like my legs but thats it

Hey

Heya, I have been feeling exactly the same and i know how you feel! i think its just hormones.
i get so bad that i see pretty girls and compare myself to them.
But i do think that if my bf loves me the way i am then thats all i want.
please dont hate the way you look, its easy said than done but you are beautiful in every way.
everybody has somethin speical about them and you should try be more confident.
dont change for anyone unless your changin for yourself to make yourself happy
i bet your as lovely on the outside than you are in
im not just sayin all of this just to make people feel better but i do believe its true.
i am not happy with myself but im lucky to be here and lucky to have the things i do have rather than wot i dont.
i hope you feel better soon and next time you look in the mirror just love who you are

well I agree: you should try a makeover. Maybe even change your style a bit, try different hairstyles, apply some nice but natural makeup. Oh and don't put yourself down. This is what I've heard from people: wake up and go to the mirror everyday and TRY to find at least one thing you like about yourself (face shape, eyes, complexion, etc.) I'm sure you'll find many that you can accentuate a bit more!

Start improving

Shazi is right. You might need a little make-over and start improving yourself. Some ladies are just used to just being simple until they realize they need to do something to make themselves look better. Changing your hairstyle can really give a big improvement. It can take time before you gain confidence but the thing is, you have to start.

You said you like your legs? Start from that. Your legs is an asset that not many girls have. Wear dress that will give exposure or can emphasize your legs.

Some women would even travel to other countries for cosmetic surgery just to improve their appearance - well, some might also be for health reasons. But it is actually your choice. You just have to START and you'll be on your way.

Good luck and I hope you're doing fine.

Hii

heyy! i just wanted to say im sure you are beautiful, just as your bf says! but i know you have to feel beautiful. have you tried a make-over? the smallest thing can improve the way you look. whether it's a haircut or even getting your eyebrows done, you'll be surprised at how much it changes the way you look. trust me i know from experience, i used to feel exactly the same way you do. no matter how much my man complimented me i just wouldnt believe it...until my sister changed my hairstyle. it completely changed the way i looked, it suited my face shape more! i couldnt believe how such a small thing changed the way i looked! lol.
i hope you gain abit more self-confidence. and i hope this comment helped. sorry about the long comment.
