im scared to wear my hair down... how do i get over this?
i have butt-long brown hair that people say is really pretty. i haven't worn it down to school or special occasions for four years. i always wear it in a loose ponytail. i don't even think the ponytail fits my face. i have a really ugly nose and i just feel like the ponytail makes my face look longer and uglier than it already is. im not ugly, at least no one has ever told me so. in fact i've been called "freaking gorgeous" by someone who barely knows me. but i look so bad in pictures from the side because my nose sticks out. my appearance is bad and i probably look like a weirdo to people for wearing my hair up everyday. i wanted to start wearing it down in high school but i didn't want anyone to compliment me or say anything at all. i wish it was just a normal thing for me to wear it down. i remember in middle school my friends used to try to pull my hair tie out because they said i looked so pretty and i never would. i feel like now they've given up trying to convince me too. idk, maybe i should trim my hair a little and then start leaving it down because otherwise it looks sooooo weird down it looks wayyy too long. i just don't know how to convince myself to get rid of this habit before my hair and my self esteem gets ruined.

I was in the same situation as you are a while ago. What finally got me to wear my hair down was that I did it a certain way so I looked pretty. When I wore it to school everyone said It looked really good and I should do it like that every day..and now I do..almost every day.I wear mine in a french roll or a messy bun or down. But, any ways you need to gain self confidence.Try taking down your hair and brushing it. See if it looks good. Then try doing it a certain way to see if you look even better . If none of these work just try telling your self you look good and your not ugly. I honestly bet you are really pretty!

Ok, let's forget about the hair for a second! Do you feel beautiful as a person on the inside? Does your nose define your character? You are as pretty as you feel on the inside and I feel that you need some support in feeling good about yourself as a person, as a unique individual who has a lot of good things to offer and has various talents, etc. Anyway, whether or not your hair is short, long, medium, bald, super curly, crazy straight, whatever, it doesn't matter, you need to be more confident in yourself and that comes from learning to love yourself as you are and not wasting your precious time trying to please as well as appease everybody else.

From personal experience: the only way to get over something you're scared of doing is to do it. This is a difficult truth, but there is no escaping it. Just try doing it at home, then with your closer friends, then out in public. Ease yourself into it. I sincerely hope this helps.
