Sure they help.  You spend thousands getting to hear "you look fine."\n\nIf it helps, Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14.  She was no supermodel.\n\nTry concentrating on what's on the inside.  The outside will glow with the joy you'll gain.  If you're a good person, that matters more than weight or a few minor flaws.

it depends on your need.\nI was searching for a Psychology consulter few days before but i didn't found any...

look after yourself, your teeth and hair. Keep your clothes clean and tidy. Be confident, smile a lot, try not to be depressed all the time, people like to be around people who are happy and confident.\nIt doesnt matter what you look like, if you make the best of what you have by keeping groomed and clean and being happy and confident people will feel drawn to you.

It does help.  I have met a lot of people online that tell me their secrets.. LOL.. but I have also told some strangers online my secrets.  It's hard to find people you trust for those deep dark intimate ones too.  Plus so many people are judgemental! \n\nOne of the things I find extremely helpful is going into yahoo chats by category, health and then depression chat rooms.  Usually there I can post a small question and find someone decent that I can chat with that has dealt with the same issues or similar.  I've made a few online friends that way too.\n\nYou can always contact me through clicking on my name, then contact me through email that way and I can try and help.  I usually get on messenger

You look fine for your age to me.  \n\nHaving said that, don't rely on what I or anyone else thinks...looks aren't everything and even those who are physically "perfect" (which is very subjective) need to have more than that to back it up.  \n\nWorry about becoming a person of substance with a good education who treats other people as well as she would like to be treated.  Be kind, generous and compassionate.  Be independant and strong.  Have opinions, but respect those of others as well.  Be your own unique, special, wonderful self and don't take what anybody else says at face value.  Question everything and always search for your own truth.

I had the same problem when i was growing up.  It didn't help my situation at all that I had two sisters who were gorgeous!!  They totally teased me everyday (I was chubby and wore glasses).  When I turned seventeen, I needed a change of scenery (I had other problems as well), so joined the Army.  After PT and contact lenses, I went home for the holidays.  Everybody kept saying how different I looked, and how pretty I was.  It totally boosted my ego.  I'm not saying join the Army or anything, but maybe you need a scenery change too.  Get away from the people who make you feel insecure.  I guarantee it will change the way you feel about yourself.\n\nYou don't need someone to tell you that you're beautiful, or smart, or anything.  Tell yourself..... it only matters what you think about yourself.

NO, it doesn't affect your attractiveness!!  No one's face is perfectly symmetrical, no matter who you are or how many surgeries you get to try to make it symmetrical, it would never be that way.  Be happy with what you have, focus more on yourself, keeping yourself healthy and happy without worrying about how "perfectly symmetrical" your facial features are!  Life is too short to worry about things like that!!!  Good Luck!!!

Absolutely!  Self confidence makes you beautiful.  I think that's where "inner beauty" comes from.

Yes. Try the evolutionary point of view. Many psychological and sociological events take a better light, too.

Actually now that I think about it....I do! I think it has to do with confidence. Sometimes I feel like I have my "ugly days" and sometimes I feel like I have my "pretty days"! It's really weird! When I am dressed professionally I tend to act more professional than when I have casual clothes on. Also I feel the better I am dressed (the cuter the outfit is) the better and cuter I feel! Good luck with the project!

the way you see yourself and the way other people see you are always completely different for everyone. self esteem and confidence seem to be whats up with you and you can change how you feel about that,  with the right help, so go for it but remember its not what you look like but what you act like that really matters.

I think you should ALWAYS get at least three professional opinions. If you need it and it helps your self esteem do it! Always check out your Dr. on healthgrade.com

Usually white lies concerning the appearance of aquaintances- How do I look - You look great! etc.\n\nWith close friends, I'll give them an honest but tactful opinion.

I know I am not always that realistic about my self image. I do believe that when we are on our own though, we really do know whether were full of it or good or bad looking etc. If you know deep down that you are a good person (only you really knows) then continue on as usual. Otherwise if you want, try to change a little. I have some friends that we agree to disagree. In other words, we realize there is no compromise but we want to remain friends.

Maybe you should work on your unseen attributes before you worry about how you look on the outside. Read a dictionary.

Looks can be deceiving.  Beauty is only skin deep, (there's a song on this), and it's saying the ugliest person can be pretty if they act that way with everybody.  Your attitude and actions determine whether you are pretty or ugly, not your physical appearance.  Although, keeping yourself looking decent does help.

YES.  I have always had serious issues with how I look.  No matter how many times people tell me that I look fine, or even good, I always think they are lying to me and just trying to make a fool out of me.  It's not just my body size that bothers me.  It's my hair, my face, wrinkles, nose shape, smile, you name it.  I've done crash diets, workout excessively, put all sorts of chemicals and creams on my face to improve whatever I think is wrong with it this week.  Gone to doctors for various consults to see how much it would cost to 'fix' parts of me.  My husband is at his wits end with me because it will take 2 hours for me to get ready to go out because all I can do is stare in my closet and cry that nothing I have will hide the parts of me that I hate in just the right way.  Living this way is h*ll.  I never realized that I have BDD until recently and I'm honestly not sure what I can do about it because I've heard so many people say, 'yeah, everybody has body issues', but I think my case is a bit more than normal.\nWhat is your case?
