How can I learn to love myself for who I am?!
Question:
How can I learn to love myself for who I am?
I have always had such a difficult time loving myself. I can't remember a time that I have ever felt truly beautiful. I think that I am ugly, like a monster. Especially when I see beautiful girls, I feel so inferior. I compare myself to them, and I feel that I am not worth loving. It depresses me, and in the past, I have even suffered from eating disorders (such as bulimia and anorexia), as well as depression. I am currently on the anti-depressant, Lexapro. It has helped me, a bit, to not constantly feel down, but I still believe I am hideous.
How can I learn to love myself for who I am? This hatred for myself is taking over my life and making it hard to live!
Answers:
Who gives a **** about other people. There could be the hottest girls in the world outside my door, and a lot of them are insecure, selfish, b*tches. Despite popular opinion, looks isn't all that guys go for. Just have confidence in yourself, and be a nice person, (which you seem to be anyways).
Who cares about guys anyway? Who defines beauty? Who says you're hideous? these are all things that society says to us; 'you need a boyfriend', 'these women are hot and YOURE NOT', 'youre ugly unless you try this beauty cream!' - bullshit. Total bullshit.
You are who you are, and on the inside not many people are beautiful. Take pride in being one of those.
