When you look into the mirror what do you like about yourself the most?

I wonder that too, when I was good looking I was lacking self esteem. I was feeling shy and really did not believe in myself. I never took my then (good looks as an accomplishment on my part) because looks are something you are born with so I didn't feel proud about the way I looked just fortunate in a way but that was no accomplishment.. it didn't ever give me the sense that I had accomplished something .. I was born with that face. I did nothing to earn it.. I never thought of myself as good looking or bad looking.. I know now that I was good looking but with a lousy self esteem that is at rock bottom no guy looked my way, I could look as good as I wanted, I would not get noticed ever.. I am older now and not as slim as I used to be and not as good looking but I have since worked as a care giver, a health care worker and that has given me purpose and I found that people need me and that I do something for others, that I am needed and that I belong... and when those people tell me that they are glad to see me, then I do feel I have come full circle.. I don't need the darn mirror.. I feel I have confidence now and I can go out and have eye contact with everyone and smile at everyone.. and out of 100 people.. 85 smile back.. that's my attitude that needed a change.. good looks alone are nothing if you have no personality that shows you believe in yourself and that you have self confidence.. then you still get treated like a wallflower..Personality is more important than looks I have found out and the way you feel inside about yourself. not what the mirror reflects about you.. People judge more by your actions and by your smile... To me the mirror now is something I need in the mornings to get ready, but it's not I who has to see my face all day long. I can walk away from the mirror.. I find it more important to achieve a goal.. achieve something that is important to me.. or to find that I did a good job and get praised for that than for my looks.. Looks are only a part of a person and they are only good if it makes a person more confident about themselves without making them think they are that fantastic just because they are good looking.. that would be shallow.. if good looks can raise self esteem then it's great.. I believe that self esteem is something one can learn by believing in oneself.. and by accomplishing something worthwhile.. when I was younger and looked in the mirror and somehow I knew I was good looking.. it still did not give me self confidence.. so it was pretty much not worth a great deal to have looked good. It's your attitude.. sometimes you can overlook your imperfections and feel good about yourself.. think about your accomplishments.. and the positive things you do and that you are worth something for your personality and for the person you are not for what you see in the mirror.. A good looking person can also feel not great if they don't have self confidence.. because looks are given to us for free.. we don't choose them.. so I don't feel I accomplished anything if I have a good looking face.. Ok we have to practice self discipline to keep our bodies in shape.. but to be born with a good looking or handsome face is nothing we achieved.. we were born with that so it never meant a lot to me.. I was of course glad not to be ugly.. but the self esteem came to me from another source.. not from what I saw in my mirror.

When I look in the mirror I like what I see because I like 'what I look like on the inside'

Things can be going wrong all around me, but I'm content within myself. Sometimes physical pain or tiredness will show on my face. My best feature is my eyes.

*I am considered attractive, but I'm still surprised when ppl tell me so. I don't place a lot of focus on my outward appearance or that of others. I think your beauty lies within. I've seen many pretty "skin body houses" with very ugly ppl living in them.

Even being good-looking there are days I don't want to shower, leave home, etc. It's all part of the human experience.

You say you are a dwarf..I know you've experienced ur share of stares & discrimination. Due to physical disabilities, I've exp them too. Being good-looking didn't stop the teasing, name calling, putting me down or discrimination. My disabilities aren't visible these days, but they used to be.

I've learned not to think about what other ppl think. All that matters is what I think about myself.

Everyone has insecurities (usually kept hidden)..even the rich, successful, gorgeous models, celebrities..but they don't focus on them. sometimes they talk about them in therapy & are then able to move on.

Focus on your positives, hon!

well, people have told me i am beautiful, but i dont believe it. dont get me wrong, i have good days where i am confident, but only when my face is actually clear and my hair is cooperating, and i actually fit into my clothes. i'd have to say i have more bad days than good.. you are not alone in feeling like the ugliest person in the world. i often wonder why my boyfriend is even with me, because i know he could do better. anyway, i am 26/f. i hope you feel better soon and good luck in the future.

I'm not that good looking. We all have our faults. Usually when I look in the mirror I try to focus on my eyes. Heck, very few people have "ugly" eyes. I try not to look at the extra 20 lbs I carry or the overbite.

Sometimes, like you, I wonder what people with wonderful self-esteem think when they look in the mirror.

I feel that you should not feel bad about your being dwarf. It is natural. It is not self made. Self degradation is bad. One more thing is God compensates such persons with some special feature or knowledge. You may become unique or special in some arts, music, or dance.

Destiny always does not allow the luxury of 'Perfect Script' - does it?

Trusting in God will not make mountain smaller, but will make climbing easier.

Do not ask him for lighter load, but ask him for a strong back instead.

on good days, when i see the mirror i say "wow, i'm so Beautiful...love myself"

on bad days, i find out all the faults i can about myself

i hate the latter bit...trying to improve and make it positive

Hi Dear

Just Love yourself. Because nobody in the World can Love you more than yourself

somewhat talking, I do ignore to assert or tell or react to my replicate photograph because of the fact I frequently proceed to be busy with myself who sticks out area of the replicate! that's why i take advantage of to stand in front of a replicate to makeup myself. So unlucky in accordance to you, precise? somewhat, I neglected it so a techniques. probably your question would motivate me this time & there is not any thank you to permit you realize later, so unhappy!

My hair, and my size, although I hate hate hate my weight, i weigh like 200 pounds but im packed tight so im just a tiny bit over average size. (ppl say i'd make a great football player but i cant stand watching that)

I dunno if im considered good looking, im decent looking, but idk about good.
