I have very low self esteem. Most people tell me I'm beautiful, but I don't believe it, I hate the way I look. Why can't I be happy the way I am?

• Here is someone that has no idea what it is like to be unhappy with your self every day of your life. It's not only the comments about how I look...it can be a comment on how well I do a job or that I have on a pretty sweater...the point is I have a hard time accepting their compliments and think that it's really right the opposite. It's not constant praise I want and I don't want any judgements on my question I just wanted to know if they are other people that feel the same way I do and how they over come it. So get of your high horse and realize that some people use answerbag to list issues, problems, advice, or receive advice,etc...I hope to get some good feed back/advice and not crap like this....Same for mister "pity party". Oh yeah, I NEVER said I was beautiful...I said I don't believe the compliments that people give me about being beautiful. So, go fly at kite...do some thing productive with your life unstead of draging people down to YOUR level.

• As a male, I hear this from women all the time. "I'm not beautiful, I dont look good in this dress, I look fat" and each time I try and convince them that they do look good. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. I can not hear the tone of your question by reading it. I should not have lumped you in with every other woman I know. I do know what it is like to feel unhappy with myself, but through determination and the calming influence of my new friends I have learned that I can be happy with me. By your answer I can see that you are for real. Your problem is genuine.
