Personal Insecurity

Everyday when you look in the mirror, or even pass by one, always look yourself in the eyes. Do not look at your body, otherwise you will start picking yourself apart, and adjusting your clothes and stuff, which is a sign of low self esteem. Everyday, say to yourself "I like myself, I like myself, I like myself" Remind yourself of the positive attributes you have, not physical but personality. Are you not only a good listener, but also loyal and able to keep secrets? Do people tell you how sweet you are? Do you try to see the good in others and help them to feel better about themselves? Do not let others judge you and NEVER, I say NEVER judge yourself by comparing yourself to others. You are a unique and wonderful person who needs to be celebrated for who you are and what you have to offer. There is no one like you. As far as inhibitions, soe are good, but if it is keeping you from social settings, then this will help. You have to believe that what I tell you is right, or it won't be very effective.
If you have or have had someone who made you feel inferior, let me say this: they found out how wonderful you are, and they themselves felt inferior so they wanted to bring you down to where they are. Many times if it is a parent, this is not done out of maliciousness, but because they didn't know how to fix themselves. Look at it this way, if you are standing on a chair, and someone you love is standing beneath you, it is easier for them to pull you down, then you to pull them up.
Try this, I think you will be amazed not only at the difference in how others see you but how you feel about yourself as well.
Let me know how you are doing in the next month, Susu

The first thing is to stop worrying about what anyone thinks. You should feel confident in yourself, dont doubt yourself. This life is to short to worry about others opinions, live life and enjoy it. The more you tell yourself that you look good, the more you will feel it. Get all dressed up in something that you feel great in and fluant it, confindence is very sexy! No matter what someone looks like tall short skinny more curves, everyone can be hott it is jusst a matter of believing in it. Good Luck

I think that we all have insecurities, but you need to think about what you do like versus what you don't like about yourself. For instance, I love my eyes. I take extra time in the morning with my eyeshadow and mascara and I just love the way they look when I am done.

Also I have noticed that when I do excercise, I feel better about myself. I don't know what it is (endorphins or something else) but I always feel better about myself after I excercise.

Yeah maybe i should clarify - i'm not fat, like AT ALL, and i'm a guy, i only use eye liner once in a while lol. i just mean, i'm soooo introverted that i have trouble in social situations...how do i overcome this to make friends like i used to?
