Self confidence is very important in life. If you're confident in yourself, it doesn't matter what other people think about you as much because you're comfortable in your own skin. When it comes to dating, self confidence is very important. It can determine whether or not a relationship works out a lot of the time. No one wants to be dating someone who sits and whines about how ugly they think they are. Who wants to have to tell someone they look good every five minutes?
I have a friend who constantly puts herself down. She says she's too fat (despite she fact she wears a size 2) and she's too ugly (though we constantly tell her she's beautiful--which she is). Prom night, she got drunk and sat there talking about her date saying she wished he'd get drunk so that he would think she was pretty. I am friends with her prom date and have spoken to him about this. He says that she is pretty but he couldn't stand her constantly needing to be told she's thin and pretty. He told me that is why he didn't really care for her other than when he was drunk because that's when he just wanted to get something from her. My girl friend constantly puts herself into these positions. Unless she has someone in her life, she feels ugly and fat. Any guy who comes along looking for sex or other sexual activities can feed off of her because she will do anything to please a guy to keep him around, then wonders why she gets ditched by them after a month. This makes me wonder how she's going to end up next year at college (she's going to the STD capital of VA).
Other people won't like you if you don't like yourself. People need to just take the time to find their positive attributes and use them to their advantage. Being down on yourself all the time is no way to live your life.

With the pressures of society and the media sometimes it's hard for young women to find themselves attractive at all when they feel like they have to fit some perfect standard of being thin, tall, blonde, and just over all gorgeous.

I am kind of like your friend, except tat I am a 3 and do not think I am fat. I jsut know that I am not very pretty becuae I have acne problems. I always feel like I am not attractive, partly because most of the guys in my school are not attracted to me. But I have started to realize as I get out of school and into the real world, that is because they all know me as the voie of my highschool, PHS. The voice of the newspaper, that pushy editor who always gets what she wants. Which is sort of true to an extent; but no good journalists are not sort of pushy, and I only push for what benefits the school as a whole. anyway, I have found at jobs and other places that a lot of guys are attracted to me when I am not in journalist first and everything else mode. I have a drop dead gorgeous sweet boyfriend who everyone wants and loves, but it has taken me a really long time to accept that even he actually likes me.
I guess the point I am trying to make is has your friend ever had anyone tell her she is not pretty? because that is what did it for me. A bf that I dated for 2 years and then broke up with me saying that he finally realized how man-like I look. ever since then, I have been a self-esteem wreck.
wow,sorry that has a lot of spelling errors. I just got up and am really tired!
Yep, you can't love someone unless you love yourself
