Don't Feel Beautiful? Learn How to Strut Through Life Like a Supermodel!

[MaddiChase99]

I would like to discuss how insecurities can be combated by self-confidence. This is a dedication to everyone who was scared of never dating or having friends because of acne, or weight problems, or any other insecurity.

I'm not beautiful. I'm a little overweight, odd body shape, cystolic acne, and wildly frizzy curly hair. Because of these things I never thought I could amount to anything more than a background character in the stage of life, and that I would never have friends, or get into a relationship with someone who would love me forever. Looking at the many posts and questions asked on this forum, I see that I am not the only one. Many of you reading this may be scared of your future as being alone because of how you look, but I am here to tell you that there is a way to "conceal" your blemishes without damaging your self-esteem or your bank account, and that is Confidence, flaunting your acne or curves or crazy hair and making it something you love about yourself.

I invite you to take a look at the people you consider to have it all: looks, bubbly personality, friends, relationships, whatever it is that you want for yourself. Look closely at their face or body. I guarantee that they have a few inches of fat around the thigh, or some acne, or arm hair, or anything else that the world considers ugly. They have it too, just like you. So how are they so well-liked? The secret is that they don't let their insecurities bother them, and they take the world on like they own it. As a reduced, everyone notices their huge smile, or the Way they bounce in their step, or the compassion with which they listen to what others have to say. Their acne or other blemishes falls to the wayside and suddenly the only thing that matters is that people want to be around them, and feel their radiant influence every day.

A couple of short years ago I decided to take this approach, to flaunt my weird leg curves and cystolic acne and crazy hair as something part of my personality, where it can be associated with goodness and joy. I'm now student body president, have many great friends, and a damn sexy boyfriend who tells me every day that he loves me. Never forget that you can do amazing things just by embracing yourself for who you are. Love yourself, and others will follow.

*Stares closely at flawless friend. Sees nothing*

*Comes in closer. Still flawless*

*Comes in CLOSER*

*Friend looks at me* "WTF ARE YOU DOING?"

I just suck it up and approach them. Many times if I see one while shopping Ill flat out tell her. I have never gotten anything but thank yous, well one went beyond commentary. Beauty is not destroyed by a small amount od weight and certainly not by skin miscoloration. I;d love to be with either

[TripleAce]

The dark chick... is a very bad example. Because they are exploiting her colour pigmentation and projecting that as imperfections are welcomed... HOWEVER... the girl is gorgeous with beautiful features

--> They may have fooled some of us but not all of us... Show me a 'ugly' girl in the campaign then Ill buy it

the black lady with vitiligo is actually really cute, would not even be a turn off serious. Chubbiness should not be accepted, i am chubby myself and i should get hate for it too.

[MysteriousDarkness]

It seems like you think we should be negative towards people who are chubby or bigger as if they are scuzzy. Do you actually think that is how they should be treated? If you do then you are an idiot because you do not know how to treat people.

[samhradh_leannan]

I don't think obesity should be encouraged or praised, but it's never okay to treat someone hatefully because of their body or their appearance. Period.

The woman with the pigmentation disorder is beautiful 😍

Bogus, if you believe that you are hot or ugly, you probably are

you can love yourself all you want, but people will treat you depending on how attractive looking you are

Bearing an extremely hairy male, that isn't possible for me.

[RedThread]

Loving yourself is good advice for anyone.
