Have you felt insecure about your looks?

Every single day of my life. I've never been happy with my face or my body, I prefer wearing lots of makeup and dieting a lot. I don't like my natural bareface, I rarely look in the mirror these days. It's not that I hate myself, I'm just very self-critical of my face and body.

Well... sometimes when I look into the mirror, I see a beautiful person, other times not.

I sometimes have looked at my flaws, like pimples and stuff. I know that pimples are stuff that can go away if you eat stuff that aren't greasy and stuff.

I also have kinda bushy eyebrows and don't know how to make them look neat.

I feel like I'm prettier when I wear makeup. Even though I'm not that great of a makeup artist.

Whenever I take selfies, I don't think I always look that good.

I prefer how I look in the mirror kinda.

I have kinda felt like I'm not that attractive or at least not the kind of person that people crush on.

Like I don't feel like guys have looked at me and been thinking "Wow, I wish I was her boyfriend"

But I have sometimes had the random thoughts about becoming a model or being in a beauty pageant.

Which I guess shows how I'm not that insecure about my appearance.

I think I have been insecure about other things rather than my appearance.

Like when I went to college, I was insecure about my intelligence and felt like I wasn't good enough.

Just for you to know, you are not alone

Trust me, even if you have 10 guys simping for you, you will still feel insecure. That's why even the greatest and prettiest celebs/Idols think of themselves as ugly. Because in reality, there is someone else that you want to be loved and admired by, which is yourself

Quote from Daisy_Queen

Used to be about my face, now it's my body and significantly worse

One tip: stop watching as much K-Pop content, esp fancams and stuff

god neither gave me the looks nor the height but he did give me a big

If I think about it, I would change a lot... like my bushy eyebrows and huuuge and dark under eye bags and my really short legs etc etc etc

But if insecure is taking other people into account, I never compare myself to others and I tend to forget about my appearance anyway (because my worst insecurity is having conversations).

I used to be pretty insecure when I first started puberty. I also have OCD and that made it a million times worse. I had to learn to just stop caring what other people think. It's way easier said than done, I know.

Now nobody can tell me that I'm not the baddest, finest bitch in the room because I believe that I am (and usually I am). I still obsess an unhealthy amount over the little things (to the point where I hardly wear makeup anymore because I can never get it "perfect" and it stresses me out).

Most days I'm fine with how I look and some days I even wake up feeling pretty, then there are days I look in the mirror and I hate my face. Last time that happened my sister told me out of the blue that I was pretty, I didn't really believe her at the time (I thought she was trying to butter me up to get me to do something for her lol) but it still made me feel better. I try to remember on days that I feel ugly that this is only temporary and I'll feel better about myself soon

It's gotten much better over time, in my teens the image I had of myself was so much worse and I really wasn't as confident, good friends helped a lot too

yes i cant look into some mirrors

cept for that 10 percent, all the time

absolutely recently "ive gotten told by an acquaintance so u got the bad genes from your family"

I am really ugly so yes many times

Of course! Who hasn't?

Nah, im handson and confident enough to dont have this problems.
