have you ever been insecure about your looks?

but we're not americans 🙁

la la la! no1s on 🙁

Insecure? Nopes, never cause I strongly believe you look more beautiful when you're self confident 😄
People should accept their appearance, and stop concentrating on what they DON'T have, and start focusing on what they DO have and how to utilize it ✅

of course i'm insecure about my looks...if i was happy with the way i looked, then i wouldn't do anything to try and better myself.

Of course i have confidence in front of other people, but when i'm alone in the bathroom before i jump in the shower...i always check out the abs and think about what 50 more sit ups could do to make them look even better.

So true Evy O. I used to be ultra insecure about my looks, and it just made me super depressed. Now though I think I look pretty good, and it's made it much easier for me to make new friends here. And the great thing is that many of those friends tell me I am beautiful on a regular basis which has boosted my confidence to unbelievable levels.

Exactly, the way you think about yourself affects the way others see you ✅ I've noticed it myself! If a person is too insecure, they walk differently, they tend to bend their heads etc 😖 On the contrary, people who are self-confident have this kind of... glow 😄

When I was a teenager, I was plain ugly. Big glasses, acne and I was fat (compared to other girls). And I was a tomboy (still am sometimes), so guys were my buddies, not my lovers.

But somehow I grew up to be a nice looking woman. Some people even think I am pretty (I'm once called by a man "the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen in real life" and he wasn't trying to pick me up or anything.) But you know, I'm so used to being ugly, that I still think I must be horrible to look at. And then the reflecting in the mirror still surprises me, because I wasn't expecting someone who looked .. well... good, I guess. I'm kinda stuck with the image of that ugly teenager even though I am a 30 year old woman by now. Funny how the mind works sometimes. 😐

OMG that's wonderful Meant2be 😄

wouldnt it be cool if you looked at a piccie of someone on here and ur like 'hey i know u!'

I've thought about that too! 😱 Or someone you know seeing your piccie posted here!

Hmmm do i feel insecure about my looks. All the time. 🙁

well how do i put this....
it was never me who was uncomfotable with her looks.it was the world.
even before i realized wat a zit was someone told me it was ugly.even before i knew what "fit" was someone told me i was too skinny...
even bfore i knew wat a girls height should be like someone told me i was too short.
it all hurt and cut but i'm proud to say i made it through the rain.it hurt even more bcoz the ppl who said this were supposedly my friends!!!
i realized luckily in the right time that i don't deserve that and put it all aside.I who knew me aside from my physical appearance,and told me i was pretty.u have no idea how much that meant to be.from that day onwards i never let an oppurtunity pass to caompliment people.i know how much it could change a persons life!
now i have no prob with who i am!THIS IS ME!!!!!!LIKE IT?GOOD FOR U!DON'T ?KISS MA ASSS I'M THROUGH WITH U!!!!!!!!DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!this is my body and if i don't have a prblem with it,no one else has no right to!
