I haven't been feeling good with the way I look. My dads gf says I should take care of myself better because she saw my cousin who is beautiful and curls her hair for no reason. I want to feel good. I don't know how to do that.... someone please help

take a self care day! find a couple hours where you can just clear out your schedule and then turn off your phone/devices.play some of your favorite music if you can, bake some cookies, do a face mask, and paint your nails! you could also try coming up with new outfits - for me, I tend to wear the same shirts with the same bottoms every time, but its fun to try to find new combinations with clothes you already have and make something cute! also, I know its hard - but please try not to compare yourself to others! you are you, and that's perfect just the way you are! you can also write positive affirmations on some sticky notes and place them around the edge of your mirror as little reminders! (I am smart, I am strong, I am beautiful, I can do this, etc) hope this helps! feel free to DM me if you need more ideas or just wanna chat too ❤️ |

Just look at the positives in yourself! Wether this means doing something your really good at, or just try to look on the bright side of things. If you don’t feel good about the way you look, you can either try makeup, (personally as an 11 year old I don’t do this with the expection of dance recitals) or try painting your nails. You might be suprized at how many compliments you get just by having a nice nail job. I hope this helps!

Noo don’t let your dad’s gf’s opinion get to you. Just be you! Everyone is beautiful in their own way. The people you find perfect are also like all of us. We’re constantly trying to reach perfection even tho it’s not possible. That’s why always be contented with yourself. If you wannna change something then that’s on you. Don’t let anyone tell you what you have to be just to look “beautiful”. Tell yourself you’re beautiful cuz you are. 💛

every time I feel like I lack something I tell myself it’s ok because I’m blessed with other stuff. Like my hair isn’t always neat cuz if it was then I’d be perfect. But perfect is unattainable that’s why I was not created to be “perfect”.

It’s the change of mindset that matter, as long as u don’t rly care about other opinions &/or ur looks. You will have a lot more confidence.

have a positive outlook on lifeTAKE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO TREAT YOURSELFFF. I cannot stress this enough but everyone needs to take some time to let themselves rest. Don't compare yourself to anyone. It will lower your confidence and make you feel terrible. Think about the positive things about yourself. This will help you feel great (it works, I've tried) Accept your imperfections. and best of all keep going. ik it looks bad rn but don't worry it gets better. ❤️ |

I agree with literally everything people said up there, you should never feel the need to change who you are because someone says something. However, I totally get you, sometimes you need a confidence boost. If there is an important thing the next day or soon, I like to do a mini spa day in the shower, so I’ll do a hair mask and just relax a little bit. I like to put lotion on and stay away from my phone if I can. Just remember while doing this, you are making YOURSELF feel good and confident, not doing this to look nicer because someone says so. If today’s an important day or u just need to be a bit more confident, I like to put on a bit of colored chapstick, but it’s really sheer. It feels like you are wearing something and it makes me feel good, but doesn’t really change your look. Remember that you are you and you are beautiful and no one can take that away from you. Stay strong ❤️💖

Whenever I’m frustrated and not confident I do something I enjoy or am good at, it helps me see the positive things in myself and life. Also don’t listen to what other people say about you, I personally don’t care what anyone’s hair, face, or clothes look like and if someone is trying to make you feel bad it just proves you shouldn’t listen to them because everyone should have better things to do than that. Don’t feel pressured to change something about yourself if you don’t want to, and your hair is just an appearance, not your health, so as long as your washing it there’s nothing bad with keeping it the way it is. I hope this helps and I’ve felt the same way before so don’t worry it will get better. 🙂

I’ve always wanted to say this to someone but I was worried it sounded too cheesy but here I go. If you ever have that time where you look in the mirror and just notice how great you look, keep admiring and looking. Normally I think to myself, “ I look super pretty and this looks nice and blah blah blah.” And I’m weird like this but I say i love you, Hannah all the time randomly out loud. Hopefully this helps yay if not I’m sorry. And I hope I don’t sound stupid...

First of all, clean your room. I know this doesn’t sound like it’s related, but it helps you feel like you have your life together. Also, drink lots of water. Get a water bottle and carry it around with you wherever you go. Take a drink of water whenever you’re bored. Also, do face masks once a week or every two weeks. From my experience, they don’t actually have much of an effect on your skin, but, again, they help you feel like you have your life together. Wear make-up if you want, but for heavens sake only wear it if YOU want to for YOURSELF. You don’t need it to beautiful, but, again, wearing makeup for me personally always makes me feel like I have my life together. Wear what gives you confidence. Find hair care products that suit your hair type. Only work out for your physical and mental health, not for aesthetic or because you feel pressured to. Try to do well in school, but please, don’t be too hard on yourself. Laugh as much as you can. Call old friends. Do things just for the sake of it. Live in the moment. Live lightheartedly. Find music you like and make playlists for different situations. You’re only young once. Make the most of it.

If you want to be confident you have to act like you are. Just fake your confidence first, an after some time you'll notice you've became more confident. So my advised is: make sure you look like you want, be comfortable and fake you're confident.

so i've been kind of battleling with the same, it workedd for me to not look in mirrors when i dont feel good, and when you feel confident you just look at yourself and give yourself a compliment. also know that the world isnt about beauty, after school nobody cares anymore (what ive heard). try to focus on the inside, and make yourself a better person for the world and the people in it. youll feel better about yourself. well this was my advice : )

Every once in a while it is fun to primp but not necessary, however it does make me feel confident and cute which is a great feeling. Definitely find a style of clothes you❤️ and wear them like only you can! This is what I do because I go thru phases-Every day look in the mirror -just once!!!!!- if your struggling, and ONLY tell yourself POSITIVE things. As soon as you feel negative look away. I get the feeling though.just find your style and what makes you feel confident! Also this is random but it has been proven that tossing your hair back and doing a diva walk helps your confidence. I’m talking shoulders back, chin up. It feels ridiculous, but sometimes it helps you realize that anyone can walk the runway. And I’m not joking on this one- explain to your dads gf that you need a little confidence booster and ASK for compliments!!! Not for negative remarks. Then you can focus on the good things other people see rather than your insecurities. It does help to have a spa day to boost your morale.

Ok another thing, I know this is so cliche, but you have got to practice positive thoughts about your appearance in your mind. Insecure thoughts= insecure body language. For example if you dislike your face shape you may unconsciously tip your head down, looking un confident. Because let’s face it, if you see a girl rocking her style, owning her face, strutting around, you are going to see her as someone who is a boss.
