Quick, everyone- I has a topic! Name one thing that you previously disliked about yourself that you now like, or are working on liking it about yourself?

Like, I used to HATE my hair, but lately I've grown to accept it and like it. All I really needed, in the end, was learning how to work with it instead of against it.

Um. I used to hate my body, but I've slowly grown to like it. Then again, I think having a boyfriend that thinks I'm perfect and loves me for whoe I am, thus not wanting to change a thing, helps a lot too. <3

Yay Alice n.n My Master always tries to make me feel good about my body. I had kindof a breakdown last night and he was like, no, you are perfect, stop crying and go to bed, and you'll feel better. And, I do :3

[x-EternalAlice-x]

I do admit, always having difficulity finding jeans that are made for the skinny-average figure really doesn't help it much. They either make them too tight or too big. >_< If it wasn't for that and my family making occasional negative comments about my body, then I would probably be fine. sweatdrop I'm just glad he thinks me cute and such no matter what. <3

[pigeonsoup]

I have that problem too, but sometime I think about it like this: I should be glad I'm not a cookie cutter type girl. You know, I don't look exactly like every other girl. I'm unique, and that requires...unique PANTS! Nyaa~! Plus, there's more value in rare things.

[x-EternalAlice-x]

True. I have been thinking of just shopping for pants that are made based off waist size and such, not the pants that are sized like "8", "10", etc. I feel I would have better luck looking for jeans that fit based off a different scale. ^^;

[pigeonsoup]

You could try buying pants to fit the biggest part of you and then taking them to get tailored. It's not super cheap but you won't have to keep buying pants and then not fitting in them and not wanting to wear them, and then buying more ants in the hopes that maybe they'll fit better xD

[x-EternalAlice-x]

I hadn't thought of that option because of the hassle that might do to my family. Heh. ^^;

[pigeonsoup]

>w< I'd think it'd be less expensive in the long run, because you wouldn't have to keep buying new pants in the hopes of finding ones that fit. Usually if you get a good quality tailor, the pants will last you a very long time.

[x-EternalAlice-x]

Maybe. It's somethhing that could be discussed. :3

[pigeonsoup]

Well, it can't hurt to try! If not, at least it's something you can remember when you have your own income. :3

[x-EternalAlice-x]

Yeah. That's true. :3

I used to hate evverything about me and now since being with my ex. I have seen myself differently. I see that I have very pretty eyes and a cute nose and I guess I look really good with my hair up in a ponytail. I still hate the color of my hair though.

[WhipWhip]

I actually used to have much more confidence.

Until last year when my best friend spiked my drinks, got me very drunk, used me for sex and likened me to a whore afterwards. Then he cut me out of his life completely because his father is a minister and he was scared he would find out what had happened.

Now I basically have no trust in men whatsoever. I have no confidence in myself, my appearance, my personality or any element of myself, really.

Why do men use women, tell them they are beautiful and amazing and then just do that to them? I still don't understand. It kinda makes me feel a bit stupid for being so easily fooled.

How does one regain that self confidence and trust? Anyone else been in a similar situation and come out the other side?

I'd like to hear how other people found their way back to feeling beautiful on the inside and out.

Also... I'd like to help others to feel amazing... so I'm going to start telling people how amazing they are instead of holding back. ^_^

Inner beauty is subjective.

So is physical beauty. Your point?
