Have some confidence in yourself and stop comparing yourself all the time. there will always be people who are more or less attractive. constant comparison will lead to constant disappointment.

If you don't like the way you look, do something about it! i.e. exercise, diet, make-up, clothes, etc.

smile.gif ...Being confident comes from within...
I'm sure you have amazing traits to your personality (that you may/may not be aware of yourself...) that make you a great person...regardless of how you look! We are always the biggest critics of ourselves...!

^ i agree, you should try to not compare yourself to others.
just be the best that you can be =]
as for the not being able to talk to your "friends", maybe try talking to them about
one of your problems...if you feel comfortable about it. That's what i usually do, and
they usually give good advice, help and also made me closer to them.

Often it's just something that comes with age and a bit of maturity. You realize that everyone has flaws, that there are things about you that are special, that you don't need anyone else's approval to be happy, etc.

Try to look better.
then Everyday, just talk in your mind or out loud saying "I am pretty/cool" for a 100 times.
if you think I'm joking, then I won't argue. lol.

LOL.. Joker!!

Dont compare urself with anyone.
U should just work on urself, theres always going to b someone more attractive than us.
we just have to accept that, and also.. being pretty is not everything.
I mean the good thing about it, is at least we dont attract creepy guys.
Creepy-man free. . . i dnt knw about u, but i like to feel safe.

your friends might not seem like they're going through anything, but emotionally, they might be. Don't compare with them, everyone has their goods and everyone has their bads.
Just love who you are.

getting confidence can be as easy as heading to the gym! Studies have shown that those who regularly work out usually feel better about themselves and that usually brings about confidence! Just realise that everyone is human, we all eat, sleep, go to the bathroom just like everybody else. Even 'pretty' people have issues, sometimesthey just have a better way of hiding it.

Start of slow by trying to be more of a listener than a talker. When you feel comfortable enough, you can try to do more of the talking. If you can find out what the other person's common interest is with your, it'll make the flow of conversation that much easier.

I had the exact same problem but it's slowly going away. I used to always wonder how everyone around me looked so normal and healthy. I felt like a dirty cotton ball around them when I didn't even like many of them. I used to want to fit in, be cool, have a lot of friends, popularity, etc. But I began to look at myself in a different way. Even though everyone around me probably thought I was hideous, I just loved myself more and more. Just don't like yourself until you're so self-absorbed. You should love yourself for who you are.
(I couldn't help but smile when you said "friends." That's how i think of my classmates because as good as some might look, that's all that's likeable about them, their looks.) You sound like you want a friend. You'll find one someday, maybe even tomorrow. Anything is possible.

Have you ever seen normal Taiwanese or Korean people walking around on streets? Most of them have huge noses, small chinky eyes and flat noses and look nothing like those celebrities you see in dramas.And sorry, but most Korean celebrities you see on TV underwent a lot of plastic surgeries in order to look like what you see on TV. I think this should be well-known by all K-Pop-fans.

i can relate to you a lot!
everyone has flaws and you shouldn't compare yourself to others.
just be yourself because there's only one you and that is something you should never compare anything with.

You need to learn how to accept yourself.Look in that mirror and tell yourself that your beautiful.Don't assume everyone will judge you by your looks.Just be yourself.
It's not a goodbye,but a see you later.

What are your issues?..
im guessing physically?..
You know what,confidence is very subjective. You chose to be confident or not. basically,if you think
you're lacking in a certain department, it is up to you to take an action. Sure, the way people see you is very important in gaining esteem, but then it isn't all that. Once you believe in yourself and see yourself in a different light, you exude the confidence that others could see.
But if you think a little make over would help you, then go ahead. Ask your friends to help. Surely they'd be glad to give you advices..

And surgery?..take that as a very desperate resort.
