How can I change the way I think about myself?!


Question: How can I change the way I think about myself?
For the longest time Ive always disliked myself. I cant even look at myself in the mirror, I think I look disgusting. When I was in high school, people would always call me ugly. I feel like everyone thats sees me thinks Im ugly. Im 19, Ive never dated anyone(why would anyone want to date me) and I have no friends. How do I change this?

Answers:

You know to be honest with you, your the only one who can make yourself feel better about yourself. ( if that makes sense heheh). Ofcourse surrounding your self with family and friends who love you helps a lot also. I'm am pretty sure that there is at least something that you love about yourself that you just have not realized. They say that beauty starts from within and I truly am a big believer of that. How you feel inside radiates outside. ( does that even make sense?!) what I mean to say is that if learn to love your self, you project that and others see that and want to be around people who are positive. It's easier said than done I know that. Please learn to appreciate what has given to you. Learn to love your self.
I was in a position like that also.. I had family members calling me ugly duckling and they told my school mates so I always came home crying and was ashamed of how I look every time I would go back to school. As I got older I learned to love myself, after all I am the one person who has to deal with my image wether I am short,tall,fat,skinny,ugly, etc. Loving and accepting yourself is what's important.



You are looking at yourself through other people's eyes. They are probably weak people with such poor self images themselves that they want someone to look down on so they will feel better than somebody. Their isn't one person on earth that is totally ugly. Nature doesn't work that way. Spend some time alone. Really look at yourself. You will find that what people are saying about you is not true. Then comes the hard part. After you get to know yourself better have a good look at the people putting you down. Usually they are really telling you how they feel about themselves. After high school people start to change how they see other people. Someone would date you if, in just your day to day living you show yourself as kind, funny and easy to know. Oh course there is the physical dress neatly smell good, but above all offer to other people the acceptance you want for yourself. Don't you judge those who judge you, instead feel a little sad that they need to. Also never stand to be mistreated. If you do stand for it you are teaching people how to treat you. Always reserve the right to dislike someone, but don't stay around anyone you can't treat right or that can't treat you the same.



I have a very similar problem I suppose, even though some people say what I think is completely wrong. Everyone looks different and that's what makes them unique. And when I'm really down I try to tell myself that not everyone in this world judges you on the way you look, your personality is a big thing! Remember that there will eventually be someone like that for you. It might even be depression, your brain might be making you think like that because of certain hormones. Ignore it and as soon as you feel negative thoughts taking over your mind distract yourself! Do something random and fun. Just enjoy life!

I know this sounds very bad... but from what I have learnt, if you act sad and depressed hardly anyone wants to be with you, when you act like you're on top of the world people automatically become your friends. But those friends aren't real in most cases. Don't worry just smile and smile and eventually you'll smile for real :)

Wow.. That's a long answer.. guess i got a bit carried away... hehe ^^"



It is hard for me to answer that question without seeing a photograph. People in high school tend to be competitive and harsh. I won't take those opinions too seriously. Let's have a look. Post a photo of yourself and add some details to this question. Old Ringo wants to check you out.

I'm IN high school and am facing this problem. I'm not liking it. NO new friends in high school. NO ONE to talk to besides this girl who I knew in my last school who bugs me a bit because I can't go to after school clubs, tutoring after school, or straight home w/o dropping someone off.
Don't worry. I'm sure you don't have NO friends. No one does. Maybe I'll transfer but I'm in SUCH a hard school and am getting such a good education even though I feel like I'm gonna fail. I don't want social promotion. I want to try hard even if my GPA compared to those who've had it easy might be low. At least I will know.
I remember, I took a vacation to my home country. I didn't see myself in a mirror in 2 months. Then, we came back here. I took a look. I said a couple of things to myself. One: WOW im so skinny! Two: When did you get lighter skin? Three: IS THIS ME?!?!
Then I look back to middle school and stuff and think about any crushes and be in a little nostalgia about how awkward it felt. Idk.... i'm weird.
If you find an answer to your problem, please tell me.
I feel like being talkative is the answer because I've never tried it. But, I know that if you do become talkative you can't stop because then you'll be back to square one.
I even signed up to this club to get some sort of mentor but I never got one.
Well... I wish the best for you. OF COURSE someone would wanna date you! I would just get a friend and talk all day. Wash your problems away or listen to other people's problems.
