I know this is silly, but how can I tell if I'm pretty? I feel like I can't count on anything my friends or family say. Low self-esteem and all that jazz. Who can I trust to be honest about this? (Sorry if I seem self involved, I'm notsomuch)

I know this is isn't what you 'want' to hear...but being 'pretty' isn't all about what you look like. It's really the whole package. There will be people in your life who find you beautiful and some that don't. Please don't wrap yourself up in others to make yourself feel pretty...you will never really be happy. You are a beautiful person, and you need to learn to love yourself and others will too :)

If you don't "trust" your family to tell you the truth, and you don't trust your own eyes in the mirror, then a friend is the way to go. If you wish confirmation, have a mutual friend you DO trust ask a guy you like what he thinks about you. However, if you ask, you have to be prepared for either answer, or anything in between. If you have self-esteem issues, you probably aren't - If he says you're pretty, would you really believe him? If he says you're cute or doesn't think your "bad looking", but not pretty, what will you think? And what if it's "bad news" from him? Remember that the outside package is only for the initial attraction. If someone gets to know you and loves you, it just doesn't matter to them... They will see you as beautiful, no matter what you think! But remember, as Cyndimh wants to be a ninja says, there will be those who think you're pretty and those who won't. And you have to love yourself and have confidence in yourself before others will see the "inner you". In that case, it rarely matters what you look like on the outside. ;-)

I'm not much of a Forrest Gump fan, but I think it is put nicely like this: "Pretty is as pretty does."

Baby you have to tell yourself you are beautiful everyday and often...If you believe your beauty is there then nobody can convience you other wise...They may say things but they can't see what you see..Especially if your looking on the inside of yourself...Remeber to say" I LOVE ME SOME ME". Later beautiful....

Oh my god, is that the biggest thing that is bothering you? Yes, it is silly. You need to focus on more important issues like work, education, rent, health. Please, stop focusing on that because sooner or later it's going to tbe the ONLY thing of importance in your life and nothing else, not even other people will be as important. Oh and another thing, if you are pretty outside but you suck on the inside, the nice frosting and wrapper won't matter at all; everybody will hate you. But, if you MUST know, ask a man or a guy whom you know that is not attracted to you, like a cousin or something like that.
