Hi John I need your opinion on something !!!

I've been quite down lately because of my appearance

I look around me and there are all these really pretty girls who have perfect bodies and really nice makeup , and I just keep on comparing my self to them and thinking about how imperfect I am. And how crap i am at girly things like make up and talking to boys. ........

People keep telling me to be confident with myself , but I just cant do it !

Have you ever felt like this ?

I love you btw 😘👍

Dear Justadaytripper ,

I've said this before and I'll say it again: don't compare yourself to other people! They can never be you! Only you can be you, and you are unique. Also, being pretty and "perfect" isn't everything. They may seem perfect, but the perfect people are the people with the most problems. So called "imperfect" people are some of the kindest and loveliest people you can ever meet!

You don't have to do "girly" things like makeup and talking to boys if you don't want to. I mean, Lilie is fifteen and hasn't ever worn makeup in her life and couldn't care less about talking to boys, but she's a bit of a tomboy.

Yes, I have felt similar to your feelings. I felt like I was fat and worthless, but I got over that when I stopped comparing myself to other people. What works for other people doesn't always work for you!

I'm not sure if any of this helped you, but I tried my best.
