I Am Horribly Insecure About My Appearance Stories of Experiences

I'm sure I'm going to get some guff for this post, but I'm completely sincere and am looking for any advice you might be able to give me.
I haven't owned a swimsuit since I was a prepubescent girl. I'm not overweight, but I can't bring...

Sorry... I might show I am contented.. but deep inside I want to improve myself.

I hate my nose.I hate my eyes.I hate my hair.I hate my teeth.I hate my ears.I hate my skin.I hate my weight.I hate my feet.I hate my hands.I hate my face.And I hate every other place on my body that I am too lazy to type down.

I hate my face. I hate my thighs. I hate my arms. I hate my belly.

Just feeling really, really insecure right now.

I hate the urges I get to want to vomit.

I hate the urges I get not to eat the whole day.

I hate the crying.

I just...

Its just a word. But the meaning can destroy you. Hi, my name is Ashlee. I am 17 and I am insecure and anti-social. People use to tell me I'm photogenic. But I feel like I look like a total different person, in person. I don't talk to...

When I was a kid, I used to want to grow up so bad. But now I've realized that being a grown up isn't what I expected it to be. Back then I didn't care what clothes I'd wear when I go out, what I could to do hide my ugly face. I didn't...

OMG. I am so horribly insecure about my appearance that it is scary to even myself. There are times when i literally avoid mirrors because i hate looking at myself in them. People compliment me and tell me that i'm beautiful, i'm...

Sometimes I am very reluctant to look at myself in the mirror because of how I look...i'm mostly percieved as a hairy chubby person with greasy hair and I don't like that, it makes me think i'm ugly.

I know I should not care about...

you struggle to have interest in life ... you avoid looking in mirrors and being around people

you dont party or fit in ...

but what you find it people don't like you any more when you are thin.. either!

At first I didn't really care. I appreciated myself and I never put myself down. I have always been slim and fair-skinned. These things I used to appreciate. USED. It all started the summer before senior year. I started getting pimples...

I wear baggy jumpers to cover my body hide my wide hips and hide my chest I get so paranoid that people are making fun of me for them and I hate how feminine my upper body shape is it makes me feel so insecure in public that I rarely go...

I know many people around the world experience the same pain I do. It might not be important to some people but it is to me. I am a very strong young-woman, but like everyone I have feelings. I'm always that girl who is friendly, kind...

I used to be the person who would encourage my friends to love themselves and their bodies. I was happy with the way I looked and the way other people percieved me. It was when I arrived at high school that things began to change.I was...

Don't we all deal with the same insecurities of working with a body that has facial features and other aspects we did not choose for ourselves?

Aren't we all afraid of rejection if we refuse to play the parts preferred by most?

Don't...

Looking in the mirror I see a war between the mirror and my image. Everyday I struggle with these insecurities, i hate my body, my hair, my confidence and I envy celebrities for there perfection. So young and so depressed! That's how I...

I always believe that I am beautiful no matter what people say. However, eventually, people around you, whether you like or not will affect you. Even you give it the hardest effort to disregard others opinion about you, it will still...

I just uploaded a picture or two on my profile. It was really hard for me to do. I don't like the way I look. Really the only reason I did it was I felt that if I truly wanted people to get to know me, then they should see what I really...

I'm sure that it's is most common for people to complain about every little flaw they feel that they have. I say a person's flaws are part of what make them unique, special, an individual. Flaws keep a person modest, and often cause...

So I've been talking to this boy for about 6, 7 months now and we clicked straightaway! we talked everyday for around 7 hours about nothing and I loved it!he asked me to meet him and suddenly I felt scared of what used to be just...

I will never be happy with my looks. I have suffered from extremely low self-esteem for quite a long time. I was diagnosed with depression last year and the doctor realised how bad my self-esteem was that she referred me to a cognitive...
