How do I feel more confident about the way my face looks?
I know what it feels like to despise how I look. For several years I believed that I looked disfigured; that girls I liked never looked at me because of it and if they did, that they were looking at me with horror or pity.It was an incredibly painful time in my life but also very important. I had to take a look at other things in my life and focus on making them better; for me, a big part of that was physical training: over months, I got up to 6 days a week of training which helped me feel empowered as I saw and felt my body change.At the time I was also helping care for my dad, who had Parkinson’s, and so I had to see beyond myself.Through living a different life to most people, one that I felt mostly ashamed of and didn’t think I had much to say; so, I also learnt to listen to others: to be a good listener, a good friend.Over time, this lead to making friends and even having a relationship.Eventually, my relationship to how I look changed by itself.I recommend you focus on doing things to nourish your body so that it has what it needs to thrive and that you spend more time paying close attention to other people, helping those you care about because that gives your life meaning far beyond the concept of how your face looks.Life is beautiful and all that live are beautiful.That means you too. ❤️
Are you confident about your looks?
I think im disgusting
How can I be confident in how I look?
Most people are critical of their looks. The media gives us a distorted truth of what real beauty is.The media will have you believe this is the look every woman should aim forAnd that every guy should look like thisLet me make it clear this is not the norm. The average woman in 2017, apparently looks more like thisAlthough personally, I'd say that is still not quite the average. I would also say I see the average as more attractive than the first picture. I'm not just saying that. I genuinely believe it. It's true that some men would completely disagree with me, but that is why they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.The average male looks more like thisYou see the media does not show you the average. It shows you the top 1% in looks and body.Now maybe you look at the average and still don't think you cut it.When you look in the mirror, do you see?I can almost guarantee you don't look like this. I'm not going to say there is no such thing as ugly. The pictures above prove there is. But very few people are genuinely ugly.So let's say you do see this looking back at you. Most people do. We are so critical of our own looks, we see every imperfection. But most people do not.But there are things you can do to improve your self image.Remember the media image of good looks, is bullshitFocus on your best featuresMost people like something about themselves. Concentrate on those.Everyone has a bad dayNobody can look good 24/7. So don't beat yourself up when you have a bad day.Clothes maketh the man (or woman)Wear clothes that stand out. They don't have to be expensive. But you should have a signature style that you should never apologise for. Work it baby!Smile goddamitIt won't kill you to smile. Have bad teeth? Who cares? If you don't, not many others will. Everyone finds something to criticise someone over. Don't let it bother you.Work out why you are so critical of your looksWhen you can work out why, you can work on getting past it.Show others you don't care what you look likeFind a way to be a confident person. Hold your head high. Make others feel good, have fun and enjoy life. When you do this. No one cares what you look like, really.If after all this, you are still struggling with your looks. You will need to seek some kind of therapy; if it is affecting your self esteem that much, it will affect your mental health too.Good luck.
How to look and feel confident in photos?

I don't have confidence because I don't look good, how can I improve both, look and confidence?
I have a friend, she speaks well, she had a 3 digit AIPMT rank and she is beautiful (Good looking) .The other day we were having a conversation, I asked, “ You always look so confident and presentable, is it because you are beautiful? “She said, “ I'm confident because of my achievements, it feels good to have so many people around, good looks are just icing on the cake, but you know at times, somewhere inside I feel, so many people around me are only because of my looks, I have that little fear inside me about what if someday i turn ugly, will anybody be around?”I learned a bit, people get confidence because of their achievements. Good looks are just add ons.Dress smart.Keep smiling.Be bold.Be young.That's how we get confident!
How do I actually use my looks to make myself feel confident?
I am a good looking man. When I look in the mirror, I know that. But when the mirror is removed and I'm out in the world I don't feel like I look like that. I am unable to feel confident because I grew up without a mother figure to tell me I'm handsome.
How do I feel confident with my looks when I'm incredibly ugly?
Well, according to me there is no one in the world who could be called ugly. So far your appearance is considered, as you told about asymmetry of your face, try wearing glasses with large frames, you know those that are mostly used by geeks, believe me, those are in fashion these days. Put very light makeup on your face so that it wont be noticeable at all. Above all, just forget about your looks, appearnce and all that stuff which you are highly conscious about. Just be yourself. Don't be afraid to be in the limelight, it's your graduation day man. Just forget about what the people will say about your looks or the other guy/gal whom you feel like asking out might feel. Its your life, its your day, just go for it! Stop fidgeting while in front of camera, just take a long breathe and say this to yourself-"I am AWESOME!" not to console yourself, not to build a confidence for time being, not to enjoy couple of moments, but say that cause YOU ARE AWESOME. Just do a quick retrospection, how many times you have kept yourself back just fearing that you look "Ugly"..!! Now is the time, to compensate all those time which you could have cherished, but have not let yourself go. So my dear friend, its just one life, one chance, just go and grab it. ;) And don't forget to tell me how did it go, no matter if you rocked or not! I am sure you will rock, cause "YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!"
How can I feel confident about my look? I feel that everyone is looking better than me, because in my country I just don't match with the beauty criteria, and honestly I don't like my look either. Should I just give up, and say that I'm ugly?
Just decide to be well-groomed.You will be happier to accept your looks, which helps once you have done what you can do, and focus on improving your mind and life skills. Those things last longer than looks anyway and are highly prized by the right people.I decided I was ugly when I was a teen and that made me decide to focus on my studies. I was interested in fashion so I followed it a bit and eventually created my own look. In my 30’s I started wearing makeup and as I put it on I would think “I’m getting beautiful”, smile at myself and done for the day! Just do what you can do and not worry about it the rest of the day, focus on life.
I don't feel confident with my appearance?
In 8th the same problem. Noone asked my on a date, I hardly had friends, a boy used to pick on me in class. Sometimes I would fake being sick and stay home. You would never see me at school. And to add to that my confidence was hanging on a string and some girl called me ugly on Facebook in front of EVERYBODY. That just knocked me down. Eventually I failed 8th grade for not going. Then in 8th again I moved, and I started looking a YouTube tutorials about makeup and hair I started copying them, and it's very helpful. But, enough about me ! Hair- you should pin up your bangs and curl your hair and make it look wavy. You can also put it up in a bun, if you have no idea (watch some hair tutorials on YouTube) Makeup- Any type of makeup looks beautiful on a girl with green eyes! ( I'm jelous ) Lol. But what's really trendy is the winged eyeliner. You- always smile, smiles are attractive. Walk straight, open your eyes more make them look vibrant . I know how terrible and ugly it feels, honestly I Wish I could help you more. I just want to let you know that you have a friend in the world if you ever want to talk I'm here. Hang in there.
I don’t feel confident enough in my looks. My parents and friends always tell me that I'm ugly and “you don't look gay because gay people are handsome,” after I told them I’m gay. Is that true?
I'll tell you something I've learned about our own looks and how one feels about themselves.This was me back in high school.I was very Self Concious of my looks, shy and I was also made fun of before.Over the years I've learned you'll be in your body and mind for a long time.You might as well learn to love it.This me not too long ago doing a speech.I've learned that to be confident you must realize truly to love yourself.How can you love anyone if you don't love yourself?It took me time to learn this.It took heart break.It took depression.It took anger.Eventually I learned to truly love and appreciate who I am and have become.My friend your great, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.Don't live life with other people's thoughts of you.Live and love your life the way you want to and truly desire.When you truly are comfortable with yourself it's amazing how life treats you.
