how can i stop being insecure of my appearance?
i see these GORGEOUS girls on TV, magazines, etc. and i get depressed most of the time cos i dont look like them, and i have really low self esteem and no confidence at all. im really intimidated by guys, i feel too shy to talk to them cos im afraid they will only notice my looks and how unattractive i am. and it doesnt help at all that my name is AUSTIN and i am A FRICKEN GIRL. i mean what was goin thru my parents minds when they named me. but anyways, i feel really depressed cos i want to feel beautiful but everything i try does not work. i cry alot and i just crawl up into a little corner and wonder why i am so negative about myself. by the way im turning 15 in couple months does this have to do with my age? puberty? will my insecurity go away once i become older?
hey its ok… I know exactly how you feel (I’m 17) I’m gonna give you advice somebody else gave me..
MTV tells you what you should look like, what makes you pretty or not. Everybodys gonna have an opinion about everybody their gonna say this about that person but thats just their opinion, you just gotta keep reminding yourself that it doesn’t matter what they say cuz they don’t know you
