I don't feel pretty enough for my boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

Do you guys or girls ever feel a little insecure or feel like you are not attractive enough for your significant other?
I'm not sure why for the last couple of days I have been feeling like this a lot. My bf briefly mentioned that a mutual friend of ours said his ex gf was pretty (she said it at the time they were together but he mentioned it a few days ago). I think this made me think about it a lot. I'm not sure how she looked like but It just makes me wonder if I'm even pretty or if he finds me attractive? Sometimes I think I should dress a little better or wear more make up. I also wear glasses and am skinny and sometimes I feel like I'm too skinny and maybe he wants more curves? (I know he tells me that he's never been with a girl my size) I'm not sure but I feel my self esteem is low at the moment :( how do I feel better?
Also I've been dealing with some health problems lately and feel depressed about it.

And sometimes I fear that he wouldn't care if he lost me because he could find someone better.

If you two are dating, you're pretty enough. It's as simple as that. Trust me. Being self conscious plagues almost everyone from time to time. I'm not saying whether it's warranted or not. But if you two are together, you're definitely pretty enough for him. Again, trust me. Try to truly know, understand, and believe this and all of your problems on the matter should go away. So please, read this last post, then delete this thread and never think twice about this problem again because then it won't be a problem anymore. Best of luck.

Your bf is very insensitive to begin with. A guy should never compare his lover to an old flame, that would hurt his lover but some girls don't admit it but they do feel hurt.

As for what you can do, yes, you may change your outfit and all to boost your confidence. You are not inferior as there are many skinny girls around that look comely. Just don't think of pitting yourself with his ex, you are better afterall, since your bf and her splited up and he went for you instead of going back to her, right.

Normal. Least I hope so lol

I don't feel attractive enough for my boyfriend. Like, he could totally be with someone way more attractive but he's just with me. An average jane lol

Ok... So my boyfriend let me talk. I'm a girl just to know. Ok, well I know how you feel, this might mean nothing to you cause im in high school but I feel the same way sometimes. When my bf says damn that girl is hot or something that is about another girl. I get really sad and think I'm not good enough, but I talked to him and he said that he won't talk about it any more if it bothers me that much. So... Just have a talk to him about it and see if you could put your foot down on that. I did and now I feel better and feel more confident in in myself cause i know that my bf knows I'm better. Hope this helped. :)

I think you're just letting your mind run wild a little. Doesn't sound like he gave any reason for you to assume he doesn't find you attractive. But yea, I have felt this way before when being in a relationship so I understand as well. I'm sure most guys and girls question their attractiveness once in a while while in a relationship, especially if you don't get many compliments from your SO.
