    Default When you were young did they tell you..

    That you were ugly ,homely, or otherwise repulsive and then you later came to the revelation that it's not what others think of you that makes you beautiful?
    At a former job the managers would start our meeting by asking, "How do you feel and how is your attitude?" To which you were to reply,"Strong and positive" respectively. The idea is that you tell yourself how you feel and it is not by others that determine your disposition. When you come to think about it ,that's what you're always doing. You act confident because you told yourself you are . You felt like a heel when people told you so because you agreed with them.
    So in the morning when you wake up tell yourself "I am beautiful!"

    I came from Sweden, over there everyone tells you that you are beautiful! It's the norm. My family always told each other we are beautiful and smart, loving. My mother today at 71 is beautiful, and i tell her!

    PS i wake up in the morning and say 'oh shit' another bad hair day.

    So true - think of yourself in a positive light and everything else falls into place!

    I have myself convinced that I'm beautiful .....Why does everybody else disagree with me? I am however thankful that I have never had a "Bad hair day" (or a good one for that matter).

    When I was younger everybody told me I was Smart and my Girlfriends told me I was an Ass..........SO I combined the two attributes and perfected both. Now I get paid to be a Smart Ass. Life is .......weird

    Hell Kaela i will tell you, you are beautiful! Nice to meet up with a fellow Swede. well, over here in the US they tell you you are hot, smokin, etc. I get a few after they know me who say i am beautiful. Fine.
    But i usually get "i look unapproachable" (spelling). What the heck does that mean ? In the "Nordic states" it was never like that, of course in Europe everying is pretty much more open.
    Nice to meet you.

    When I was young they told me I was didactical, obsequious, garrulous and taciturn. Talk about a dichotomy! Now they just say I'm a doofus.

    DJ, it doesn't matter if everyone disagrees with you. You have to live your life, not them. Doesn't sound like you have a good relationship with your gf's if they call you an ass.
    The point is that everyone has the right to their own perspective. But if you know you are of good character then validate it! It doesn't make a difference if no body else knows!

    Pamela the guys who say you look unapproachable are intimidated by you because you are beautiful and confident. Many guys are intimidated by that.

    Topaz? whats a labret?

    And anybody that would say anything about anybody being ugly to anybody is in truth the REAL ugly person.

    PERIOD.

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    Never thought about that Bridgette until tonight when i asked a friend, and he said he thought the same thing when he was first introduced to me, high maintence, and unapproachable.
    But when he got to know me, he said i am a goof!
    Thanks Bridgette, as are you beautiful! Love the colour of your hair!

    a labret is a piercing below the lip. between the lip and chin. i'm sure you have seen them usually with a silver ball.
    As quoted by Luckyone:
    I asked directions from a genie in a bottle of jim beam and she lied to me.

    Pamela, I intimidate women too sometimes. God, I have no idea why! Me, some ugly old geezer?
    Topaz, I certainly can identify with you, although I didn't exactly have the same complexion problems as you did.
    Beauty is having the qualities that attract others. That could be virtue, integrity, persistence, altruism, humility,etc. qualities other than that temporary veneer shell of a physique that everyone initially identifies us with.
    If it is the permanent beauty that we are connecting to with others then we can all laugh at those who judge us by physical features especially if I were the elephant man dating Pamel Anderson.
