I hate myself

[Fiona]

Hi gang. My name is Fiona. I am soooo shy. I hate the way I look. I am not just plain but darn ugly. It is years since I last looked at myself in a mirror. How can I make myself feel better about myself?

don't hate yourself for that babe.. i don't like to look at myself either so your not alone in this, cus im sure there are many people like that..but it's all good. i think......well i dunno really .. it's better to let other people talk, the more smart and better than me...so for me it's mouth closed ears open or somethin' like that.. shyt im being redicilus*...whatever.
i just wanted to say, that i think that there are so much wonderfull things in this world that it's worth it(overlooking the bad)...by the way why spend time thinking about bad things if you can have good things?.. or on the second though....
"oh heeeeey me i think your.."
"huh "
"...giving advicec* that u don't folow"
"oh yea"
"stupid me"
so yea it's easier to talk about stuff then to actualy do it..or am i wrong, or am i completley wrong...
wow this turned out to be...shyt "did i wrote this?"
"that was a dumb thing to ask"
"i know"
"stop"
"why?"
"who's talkin now?"
"what?"
"stop being pathetic"
"all'ight"
"dumb-a-s-s...*****"
"what?"
"nothin"

I know its such a cliche but if you dont love yourself, how can anyone else love you?

I know, easier said than done, ive been in therapy for 9 months and should probably follow my own advice, sounds like you have self-esteem/confidence problems too, and should consider talking to someone, dont feel like a freak going to therapy (i know i did)

Also you say you think your 'ugly' but first, who defines whats conventionally beautiful? J-Lo, Brittney? i think not, just take a look at some of the super models on the catwalks, they all have really odd shaped faces, not conventionally beautiful.

If you want some practical advice then the most obvious thing are, get new hair cut, new makeup, clothes etc. Remember how many people actually like there reflection and having their photo taken?

If you look good, you'll feel good and will give off a radiant glow!
Tell me how it goes xxx

To Fiona. I don't know if this will ease your anxiety but you must know that shy people tend to see themselves uglier than they really are. I mean other people wouldn't say the same of you. Moreover, looks are not the most important thing in life. I know too many girls who anyone could consider ugly but are very happy with their lives, have a stable home and a happy family. Come On, Fiona!!. You need some reassuring. Talk to a friend, to your parents, seek older people's advise. Perhaps a doctor. But don't stay that way alone with your anguish.
