Exercise. Do not let people define who you are. Do not use words like a "pig" when referring to yourself, if you do you'll become that pig. Look in the mirror and say "I have beautiful eyes". Build your own self esteem, the world is not going to do it for you, especially when you do not fit in what is consider beautiful. So you have to build up yourself. Walk around with your head held high. Show confidence and believe.

Building self confidence takes time, but it can be done.  Our self esteem is partly our personality (what we are born to be) and partly from our early childhood experiences.  Many of us, therefore, do not have naturally high self esteem.  You can upbuild yourself by taking the time to love yourself in fundamental ways: eat well, exercise, and rest.  Tell yourself often (200x/day) that you are loveable, wise, funny, and attractive.  Take good care of YOU because you are worth your own attention.  Over time, your self care will show you how valuable you are.  And high confidence is very sexy!

take it with simple easy steps.  first look in a mirror.  thank about how great you really are.  you are somebody.  you are special.  there is nobody else in the whole world exactly like you.  there is something that you and only you can do to make the world better.\n\nthen go out, shop, go to school, whatever, any place where you pass people.  And SMILE.  See what happens.  Most of the time, someone will smile back.  that is the power you have to make a difrference.  anyone can do that.  you can do that.

Use positive affirmations. Make a list of good things about you and read it every day. Tell yourself that you love yourself and God loves you, too. You are a worthwhile person. You are good at ____ (fill in the blank). Each day look in the mirror and point out something good about yourself. Avoid negative people. Eventually you will start to believe it. The more you believe in yourself the more you will succeed in life and the more others will also believe in you.

start from the inside.  figure out what you love about yourself.  make yourself more marketable.  learn to cook, read more topics like sports, science, politics, sex, etc.  get passionate.  further your education.  the better you feel about yourself the more different people will be interested in you.  remember people don't give you joy, so they can't take it away.

The only thing I might be able to suggest is to become confident with yourself. How is your own self esteem? Are you able to gain a greater amount of confidence in yourself? Would you date yourself? If not, why not? Work on those things that you think you could change. If you can gain confidence in yourself, your insecurities might diminish, since you can see that you are worth dating. Not to mention, you might become less "needy", and also more trusting! (warning!!! Do NOT become OVER confident in yourself) Good luck!

Learn about yourself. We all have special gifts and talents that we can share with others. Celebrate yours. If you have flaws that you think you can change, take steps to change them. Choose to be ok with what you cannot change. \n\nEvery day, take little steps to appreciate being alive. Yesterday, I saw a pretty painted piece of wood, I had a lovely conversation with my neighbor and I had a tasty piece of bbq chicken. Look for your little joys.  Smile and say hello to everyone you see. Make it a point to go out and find people to be near. \n\nLove and be kind to yourself.

Find 3 or more (up to five) qualities that other\npeople don't have. Add them up and realize that you were put on this earth for a Damn REASON, that you are as good or even better than other dudes and don't slump your shoulders. I hated myself for so long until I was about 23, when other people had to tell me that I was good and a good friend to have around, that a lot of people found me attractive. Email me your circumstances.muirmatt@yahoo.com

Sweetness, what you're missing is confidence in your own self. No one can give it to you; it's the sort of thing you have to gain by yourself. Keep telling yourself that you're fine, that people are just "looking" and not judging. Look in the mirror at yourself and tell yourself that you are fine, you are marvelous, wonderous, whatever just so long as you beleive it. I was self-concious in high school too and that's what I did. I figured I could let other people knock down my self-confidence or I that I wouldn't. I opted for wouldn't. Good luck and Blesings.
