I know this is probably a little downing to post , but lately I have felt down about myself.
I really don't know how to feel comfortable with the person that I am.
From my personality to my appearance ( because it's not how I prefer to dress, its just the clothes I have had) I can't seem to accept myself.
I do not want sympathy or anythig along those lines.
I just want people's tips on how to feel more confident and happy with yourself and proud of who you are.
Thank you

I get you. I'm a really awkward person at times, and I hate that. But it's because of that that I've met some wonderful people who get me, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I always feel like I could be better at a lot of things, or look better or whatever it may be, but then I remind myself that it's not rational and everyone has insecurities that others don't even perceive as flaws.

That's how I feel sometimes I think we all do at one time or another. You should remember that you are unique. Our imperfections, and character are what make us beautiful. They are what make us, us. What separates us from the whole world. You should be happy of your uniqueness and embrace it. What I do is I force a smile on my face think of a joke anything that makes you smile and then you start to forget about the insecurities.

This may sound weird but when I work out I feel more confident and I feel like I achieve my daily goal. You just need to look at the mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful because you are, and stay away from images of girls that you think are "prettier than you" because it distorts your mind and you don't need that! Hope I helped ❤

Sometimes when I'm with my friends I become more free and stop caring about other people and end up acting really crazy.
if I'm feeling down I will dress up to look good because it brings my confidence up. Find an outfit you know makes you look good and wear it when on bad days because at least then you won't have to worry about whether you look ok or not.
As for accepting yourself, when I moved schools in junior high, I saw lots of long legged pretty girls and felt really nonpretty and for sometime I was really envious to the point where I started to compare my legs, body parts to other people's. But then I realized even though I'm not super skinny or long legged, I have decent legs and I grew to even become proud of my own body, because of my school's rigorous PE, I grew toned and more athletic.
I know it's really easy to be like omg that girl is soo pretty ugh why is she so lucky.. Ugh I'm soo fat, all that stuff. But remember everybody has flaws even though they're pretty they could be horrible at math for example, or have a butt they despise. I suggest you take pride in things you are good at, like a sport or writing or knitting whatever it is. and take up a sport because it is so satisfying to win or save a ball or make a perfect pass...also if your body becomes more fit and toned, it is a huge confidence booster.
Of course all these things help, but really your inner love of yourself needs to come alive. Think about how you have this one beautiful body to carry you through your whole life, just this one, and how much you should love it. Because if you love yourself you won't really care that much anymore about other people.

I used to struggle a lot with confidence when I was younger so I get you. Whenever I'm super down I stand in front of the mirror and don't step away until I've come up with 5 compliments for myself. The minute a negative thought comes through shake it off and focus harder. At first it'll be super hard, obviously but then you'll learn than maybe you love your smile or a silly face that you make. It could even be about aspects of your personality. Just keep complimenting yourself :) and then throughout the day just keep those compliments in the back of your mind! This works for me and the friends I've showed it to claim that it's worked for them :) Good luck, and I hope you find out how lovable and beautiful you are to you!

Since I've lost weight, I've gained so much confidence. But I still have bouts of extreme self consciousness. I just tell myself I'm a pretty girl with an awesome personality and a sexy...ish body lol.

Whenever you hear something negative about yourself, even if you're the one saying them, it's the seeds are planted. The more thought and attention you give to those ugly words, the more the weeds grow, and sooner or later they will take over your life. Don't let negative thoughts consume you. Catch yourself whenever you start complaining about your looks or comparing yourself to someone else. It's all about your attitude and perspective!

I work out, eat right, treat myself to pretty things occasionally like makeup and clothes lol. I also am addicted to makeup which may or may not be wrong but makeup really makes me feel confident :)
