I hate the way I am and the way I look. How can I boost my self-esteem?

my friends say I'm pretty but I just can't see it. I'm scared I may want to hurt myself later and I don't want that to happen. please help and don't be rude.

If your friends say you're pretty you should trust them because they LOVE you <3 You should just be proud of who you are. I used to have a very low self esteem but once I started being outgoing and doing hilarious things I would never usually do in public and saying funny things I usually wouldn't, I started being proud of who I am and loving life. Also when I started wearing really gorgeous cute clothes and got myself a gorgeous haircut, I felt really gorgeous and good about myself. Wearing makeup might also boost your self esteem but I found I don't really need it to be pretty. (See? High self esteem!)

Something I've relized about my self is that I had a imaginary "feeling" about what I looked like, but every time I looked at myself in a mirror, I was disappointed because I looked different, I thought I looked bad different, but recently I've been looking at it differently, I hope this helps.

The outside doesn#039;t matter it#039;s what#039;s on the inside!
Besides I#039;m sure your very pretty! Don#039;t let that self esteem get you down! Your friends say your pretty then you are, why would they lie to you?

Every time you want to think something bad about yourself, think the opposite Example: you want to think "I'm so ugly." instead you should think "I'm so beautiful."

you say u dont like the way you look. depending on what u dont like, you can either1) ignore it 2) let people except u as who u r 3) fix it for example i am 11 and i have a major pimple problem. everyone excepts me but, i used a cream to get rid of them and they are gone. people still treat me the same as when i had pimples so dont worry yourself; if ur freinds are truly ur freinds then they will except u for who u r.

EVERY single person is beautiful in their own way,don't let anyone tell you otherwise,you are gorgeous ! Trust your friends,they wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. Ways you can boost your self-esteem is do things with your hair,helped me :),wear make-up if you want to,buy the cutest clothes you can ! Because it comes from inside you, you can take back control over that inner voice that puts you down or tells you not to bother trying something because you are sure to fail. Decide that your inner voice will only give you constructive feedback from now on :) hoped this helped

First of all god created you in his own image, down feel down, be bless because they have people in this world with a burnt up face and wish they never been through from what happen to them, people in this world have their own opinion from how you look:).

Think of the prettiest girl you know. Even SHE has her own insecurities, no matter how crazy it might seem. What you think is a major flaw is probably a part of your unique beauty. :)

Everyone feels that way sometimes, but you have to have confidence and keep believing in yourself. I feel like I'm not the prettiest person sometimes, but you just have to have a little self-esteem. And say to yourself that your beautiful when no one else will. :)
