Oh thank god!! I wasnt judging because ..hey every culture and family is different and some dont think anything of being naked around each other...but I'm glad to see I read it wrong!!!

The guy was still a dillhole for saying anything bad about you HHL..ESP. when you were giving up the goods to him!

I used to think I was really pretty and had a great bod. I've always hated my boobs so I bought one of those water bras and ta-da. Perfect.

Now I see myself as really ugly. I hate my face. I hate my hair. I hate my body. I hate my personality.

I try to remember feeling hot and sexy when I was younger in order to realize that my mind is tricking me...but it doesn't work.

I weigh less then I ever have and when I look in the mirror in the morning and see my body I think it looks great, but then I realize its mine and I shit you not it like morphs into grossness.

I'm 18 now and have had no children, btw

Ugh,that's another thing I hate about myself. The Hairy Gene. Thanks Dad!

I can't even keep a smooth shave longer than a couple of hours :(

Sometimes, it depends on which mirror.

In my old club, I liked how I looked in the mirrors in the lounge, but the one in the DR made me feel wide.

The one in my current DR makes me feel pale, but I don't look wide.

The full-length mirror in my 'hobby room' makes me feel good, the one in my small bathroom where all the sun comes in, makes me feel kinda chuncky>:(

So, I guess you go with the mirror that makes you feel like you look your best?

Depends on how my depression is at the time. I go through periods of intense and extreme self-loathing at times, when nothing I am or do is good enough, but at times I stand back and think to myself, "Yea, I'm not so bad. I could lose a couple pounds but otherwise I'm alright."

Logically, I can catalog most of my appearance flaws. I consider myself passable.

Emotionally, however, I love how I look. Especially my good posture. Trying to insult me based on appearance is a waste of time.

Well stated, I agree. My posture isn't amazing though, but I almost always feel sexy.

No, I don't like how I look most of the time.
There are certain days when I think I look pretty, but over all I don't.

When someone gives me a compliment, I might start liking how I look..but that compliment soaks out the next day. Then, I start feeling critical again and feel anxious or icky.


Everytime I do feel good about myself, I get worried that someone may come along to ruin my "feel good" state and make me think that I was just imagining tha I was looking pretty..and that I'm really ugly (I had an ex that did this).

Oh, I do this too! I get all excited from a compliment, but then a day or two later I just think the person was maybe not really looking closely or has bad taste or maybe was just trying to be nice.

I like the way I look. I do struggle with weight issues, but I know I am a beautiful person and I take care of myself. Yeah, I wish I was a few inches taller and 10 lbs lighter, but I am okay with what I have, I'm petite and very curvy - and I'm going to work with it!

I'm fine with it all. There are some things I'd change if I could, but I'm just over the good side of neutral about my looks. I clean up nice, but can also look like holy hell, and I think that's a good place to be, overall.

I don't obsess over my own looks any more. Doesn't mean i'm going to let myself go, I will always take care of myself.

If anything, I obsess over men's looks. Hate to admit that. ::)

Well to all who struggle let me give you a big hug because it sucks! To those who like yourself I am so happy you do.

I know it could be worst and I am very fortunate to be able to walk, speak, do things that other are not fortunate to do but like they say no one feels your pain. I do feel better when I make myself up, perhaps cause I don't do it every day I feel blah, I mean I'm home 90% of the time and don't even change from my jammies, pathetic!

Not whatsoever.

But life is good, and looks is just one small aspect of it. So I focus on the parts I can actually improve. You deal with it and keep moving.

I like the way I look pretty much, but everyone thinks I'm so cute. :(

Even though I'm 5'9", dance like a stripper, wear smoky eyes and pouty plum lips, I'm still "cute" and "girl next door", when I was shooting for sultry modelesque.

It does honestly get irritating, and it makes me think I'm too flat or pale or something.

I think you get "cute" a lot because you are so young. My face seriously changed when I turned 21, that's when I believe I started to look like an adult, like I look now. I think that as you get older you'll begin to look more "womanly" and you'll become more "sexpot" than "sex kitten" lol. For now, though, sweetie, WORK IT! Guys love your look!

nope. I'm Short with a borderline ugly face and small frame.

That's why I try to stay away from the mirror

Honestly, I don't like my image either... I think that comes from having a slight case of BDD. I tend to still think that I weigh a lot more than I do. But I deal with it, it's not the end of the world to me, but it can ruin a good day.

It happens to me too. I think its because you're so young. Its kinda hard not to look fresh-faced when you, well, are fresh-faced. I get it too. I'm 21 and everyone thinks I'm "cute" too. Everyone guesses my age to be 19. Its gotten better than it was when I was actually 19 though. I think those couple years really added to my womanliness, so don't worry too much.

Overall I like myself. I do not like my nose(it's a lot like Paris Hilton's nose, but with huger nostrils) and I also do not like the extra fat on my stomach, but I realize that I can always fix my stomach by working out more often. I have some minor flaws -- such as the few white stretch marks on the sides of my hips -- but those things are never noticed by anyone anyway.

Now if you asked me this question 4 yrs ago?...I probably wouldn't have been so positive. I probably woulda complained a lot about my nose and boobs(pre-boob job) and hair(before I had money for professional coloring, back when it was a tacky yellow-blonde not red). If you asked me this question when I was in middle school?...Heh I woulda laughed, said "yeah right" and ran for the hills...I hated how I looked back then! LOL.

I'm happy with how I look. Its funny though, cause the biggest self esteem issue I have comes from other girls critiquing their bodies. When a girl with thinner or more toned body than me (like you cam) complains about how they think they're fat or something, it makes me wonder if maybe my self-esteem is too high. I start wondering, "well, does she think I'M fat? Do people think I'm fat? Maybe I need to start worrying about this more!"

Me, too. The dressing room can be a depressing place. I hear these gorgeous size 0 girls talking about how fat and ugly they are and get nervous. If they're judging themselves that harshly, what must they think about me? In some ways, I've gotten more self-conscious about my body since I started dancing.

But I've also really expanded my idea of what "sexy" looks like on a woman. I love curvy girls, slim girls, big boobs, little boobs, bubble butts, boy butts, tall Amazons, tiny pixies, older, younger, blonde, brunette, redhead, and in one instance, blue-haired girls. If I can love all these different types, surely I can find a little love in there for me. :)

I always felt super-hot when I was dancing. I was one of those girls who couldn't keep from looking in the mirror all night because I was so enthralled by my own awesomeness. It never got old, either.

But in the realm of the normal women, I kinda feel the same way I felt when I walked into the strip club for the first time: out of my league. It's not that I think I'm unattractive or anything, I just never figured out how to dress myself or carry myself as an adult who wants to be taken seriously. It was either scrappy art-school chick or sleeker-but-still-quirky stripper.

I tried on a business suit at Ann Taylor's one day and I swear I got all sweaty and palpitant and had to leave immediately. It was like the time I put my girlfriend's strap-on on over my jeans and looked in the mirror while stoned. I just couldn't hang.

So... body image is not my problem. It's more of a fashion/who-am-I issue. I think I need a fashion guru to take me shopping and sort me out.

I still get called 'cute' and I'm almost 37! I guess I should just be happy and ride it out. But in my head I feel much too old to be 'cute;

I LOVE being called cute much more than being called sexy! I get called cute all the time....in and out of the club.

Sexy comes and then goes but CUTE is forever!

:) Thanks for the reassurance. I guess I whould embrace it before it goes away. I'll be kicking myself when I'm 50 that I never took advantage of it probably! :D

Thanks girls.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on my mood. I've found that on occasion no amount of stylish clothes, nice hair styling, makeup etc. can get me to like what I see in the mirror. Other times I can be sweaty, dirty and disheveled and I feel like a sexy bitch}:D.

When I am at work or have gotten dressed up to go out to dinner, or for a night out on the town I almost always love the image that I am portraying to people. Dressing down the rest of the time is fine with me because I'm not concerned with my image if I'm just around my neighborhood, or relaxing. I am not what I look like, and sometimes it's nice to separate myself from my physical appearance and put worth on my inner self, what really matters. At work, you definitely need to feel confident though, and I believe the way I look and carry myself, based on the outfits I choose, to the body language I use, represents a well put together individual full of confidence. I'd get a dance from me!

When I work out more, take care of my body and mind, and generally just do what I think I should, basically achieving goals in all areas of my life, my self-esteem and body image are much more positive. When I feel like a slacker, and am not fulfilling my goals I'm more likely to obsess over my body and be generally unhappy.

I have the oppossite problem most women have as everytime I look in the mirror i just smile thinking to myself damn I would soo do me...and then i smile again over the fact I get the unique previllege to get to anytime I so choice to.

I truely am soo inlust w/myself if I was any1 else I believe I would go broke spending every last dime I had just handing over my wallet to get to perv all over me. Which is why I don't blame others for obessively sexually objectifing me --even if sometimes I do get tired of hearing it and secertly wish for a day I didn't know it so that kind of compliment could phase me in a way that didn't seem soo overplayed.

Anyways it's kinda a blessing and a curse though cuz it makes it harder to find another who captures my attention that way, but self love is a powerful thing no1 can take away from you and when you have it it really doesn't matter how others try to put you down or bring you down with them.

I'm pretty happy with mine.

Pros:
Nice Shape ( avatar pic taken just a couple of weeks ago )
Nice natural boobs ( b-c )
Naturally blonde stick straight hair .

What I feel isn't " perfect " :

I could stand to lose just a little weight ( too much time online and not enough working out ! ). I used to work out a ton and have a more active job , so I was realyl fit before and hope to be again in about 6 months.

I have always wished I had a more " perfect " face. Nothing is particularly wrong with it , but I just notice there are " doll faced " girls who just have a perfect look . I've struggled with acne, but that's cleared up in the last month and that's been so nice !

I something catch myself wishing I were more petite. I'm 5'8'' , 140 - 150 and sometimes feel " big " if surrounded by tiny gals . I seem to be meeting more and more people though who like my size and I've accepted this. I've been called " sturdy " before ....

I was drunk last night and always feel like a hottie in that state .....
I met some nice guys at the craps table who didn't seem to notice any of my " cons " . ;)

Ever since I saw myself on a TV monitor, I thought I was an appalling, hideous train wreck. I was 13 years old. You know, the age we all hate ourselves.

At 18 I was worse.

When you look in the mirror, you see a filtered, improved (or degraded) version of yourself. It's not what you really look like, it's what your brain tells you you look like. It's really your own mental image of you.

Unless you are photographed or filmed a great deal, there will always be a major disconnect between what you "see" in a mirror (your "mental image" of yourself) and what you see in pictures or videos. This is why people are shocked and surprised at how they look on TV. And because TV adds about 10 lbs because of the aspect ratio.

I always knew I would make my living with my brains, but I liked TV and had a natural talent for it. Unfortunately, I had the perfect face for radio.

So five computer-mapped plastic surgery procedures later (I was a "team project" by the teaching faculty at Georgetown University -- seeing if they could make me into a TV personality in a sort of tongue-in-cheek way) I still see flaws first, and sometimes nothing else at all.

Good thing for the brains, huh? :)

ditto. And my parents worked damn hard on that posture. Yea, I know i'm not perfect, but if it bothered me that much i'd do smthg about it, but i don't.
