Is it low self esteem if I know I'm not pretty?!


Question: Is it low self esteem if I know I'm not pretty?
A friend of mine mentioned I have a bad ego and that he thinks I should work on it.

However, I don't see where I have a bad ego. I know I'm not pretty, but that's just a fact. I'm ok with not being hot, I have friends, I have fun... So why do I have a bad ego?

On a physical level I'm big and that's not attractive. I just know where I stand. There are girls wayy hotter then I am but I'm still confident in every other aspects. (except my fat unattractive ***)

Who's right and who's wrong?

Well, looking at your avatar, you're wrong. You're quite pretty. Being big doesn't automatically mean being ugly. Personally, I have a thing for big guys, which works out well for my husband. There are lots of men who like bigger women, as well.



It's a really good thing you are OK with yourself as you are and are not so obsessed with looks that you are distraught over your perception of "not being hot" or being less attractive.
I looked at your avatar and think you ARE attractive. It's important to see yourself in a realistic light, and to base your self esteem not just on how you look but on who you are. So you are absolutely on the right track about that!
If you want to lose weight you can try that, if it would make you feel better about yourself I say go for it! You are already more than halfway there, since you do not need to feel thin to feel confident.



your profile pic is beautiful. even if you are big, it doesnt matter. of course it would be better to lose weight, but only for health reasons, not so you can be prettier. i always think its the face that counts, not the body attached to it. and even more important is the soul inside, not the body on the outside lol
