you guys are pretty. I think I'm pretty, too. Until some time during High School, I thought I was absolutely hideous, deformed, hopelessly ugly. Now people I don't know tell me I should be a model, when I go to clothing stores people assume I'm some kind of performer, & my "prettiness" is something people actually comment on all the time. I think that belief defines beauty. What is beautiful changes all the time... one person can come along, and they can look just like a million other people who aren't considered attractive, and just by knowing they're beautiful and acting as if their beauty is apparent, their look suddenly becomes the new perception of beauty. If you act as if you have to apologize for the way you look, or as if you need to point out to people how beautiful you are, people will see so much other stuff when they look at you that the beauty will be covered up. I still think I look bad sometimes. But now it's like when I feel like I don't look good, it's because there's something wrong with my appearance at that moment. Before it was like, if I ever looked good, it was because I managed to cover my ugliness. I think everyone is beautiful.
I think I'm pretty but I know I can look awful at times too, can't everyone? Those down putting people are soo annoying though. I genearlly don't like any negativity and those women are full of it. I was never one to point out bad things about myself, I just accept them. Nobody is perfect, but everyone has something beautiful about them. People should concentrate on their good points rather than their bad, and people will follow suit. People need to be more complimentary. In the land of celebrity and everyone wanting to be perfect, standards today are totally impossible. Natural beauty is the best and flaws should be loved and praised rather than complained about!
Some people just can't help but hate the way they look. I don't really understand it either, but some people have serious confidence issues and such. It's just the way some people are.
i have no reservations about saying the same thing. not that i boast it - but i'm confident in myself and i personally think that is what matters most. frankly most people are jealous of those who are simply content - not least arrogant.
I think that most women have the ability to be pretty, despite what magazines and the media say. Some things are not so pretty. Smoking, piercings, tattoos, weird hair color, bad blotchy skin, stringy hair, cross-eyes, beady eyes. Women who are confident, sincere and sweet project a beauty regardless of their facial features or body shape. Personally I like women with traits that other men find turn offs, especially women with big noses and and women who are chubby. Sometimes a woman will expose herself to rejection because she is tired of game playing and there she is flaws and all, smiling sweetly, hoping for someone to love them. I fall in love instantly with women like this when I see them. If I weren't married I would want to take them home, make sweet love to them, rub their bellies, suck their noses, kiss their bodies and pull them close, spooned next to me with my cock deep inside them from behind until we fall asleep...
Some pretty lasses on this forum. Sadly I've yet to meet a girl who doesn't have issues about her body shape or is stuck up her own ass. What's wrong with being average.
I got 'Emo-mugged' just the other day. An Emo kid came running up,waved his knife in my face and said "Give me all your money or I'll cut myself!"
I think I'm pretty and I also think false modesty is an unattractive quality. I also think being pretty isn't that big of a deal. Most girls I know are pretty. Pretty girls are a dime a dozen. Its the personality that makes a girl beautiful.
Let me start by saying: I'm a teenager. I have no self-esteem. I've been diagnosed with major depression w/suicidal ideation. That said, I think that everyone that says "all teenagers get depressed" is full of shit. Anyone that thinks it's cool to wear black and talk about hating themselves needs to spend a day with real depression and then say that. I'd give anything not to feel this way, that some people think it's cool sickens me. I blame the media on my generation's love of the self-deprecating. We think being a size 0 is healthy, that designer labels mean everything, that heels are good, that you have to have The Look. You're not good enough unless you're a model, everything about has to be just so. Individualism is frowned upon. Standing out makes you outcast. Nothing you do is right.
Not to be an echo but it does get better. My 30th year HS Reunion was 2 weeks ago. I didn't go. I didn't go to the 25th oe 20th or any of the reunions. I don't keep in touch with any of them. your real friendships that may last into adulthood will be formed in college. High School will soon seem the blink of an eye. One thing I did, which I don't know if you want to. I stopped trying to express my individuality with my clothes, my hair and the way I behaved around others. I like to appear to be a normal guy, but can be as unique as I want to be with my close friends or when I am writing. Maybe try blending in on a superficial level without sacrificing your values. Dressing like everyone doesn't mean you have to engage in their behaviors. If they want to get high and you don't, just say no thanks. If everyone around you is having promiscuous sex and you don't want to, again just excuse yourself. Part of surviving is just keeping your head down. Every day you will have to go out and deal with the world. You can have a persona that interfaces with that world and when you are at home you can be yourself.
