Why am I so insecure about myself?

Everyone calls me skinny and pretty, but I think I'm fat and ugly. Sometimes I wish I looked like a model on a magazine, but then people tell me that they're photoshopped and what not. How can I gain more confidence in myself?

    Why don't you put your picture here? Then people would tell you how you honestly look from outside.

    The beauty of people is in their diversity. The way you look is unique, and models on magazine covers all look the same to me. Do you want to look like another mannequin?

    Just do whatever it takes to make yourself feel beautiful. Don't like how you look? Get a hair cut, buy some new clothes that YOU like. Listen to songs like "Nobody ever told you" by Carrie Underwood to make yourself feel better. Hang out with your friends and just have a good time.

    Love yourself and be proud of it. So other people will look at you at the same way you wanted to be. You don't need to find the answer, you already have it. Just work it out :)
