How can I work on my self esteem?
Not to sound vain, but many people tell me I'm beautiful. However, I think I'm just an average looking female. When I look in the mirror & in pictures, I don't see what others see. I constantly compare myself to other females and I feel like I'm not as good looking as them. Therefore, I believe people who are telling me I'm beautiful are just trying to be nice or lying. How can I gain some self confidence and work on my self esteem so that I can be happy with myself?

Self-esteem is still esteem. It comes from an appraisal of one's behavior, in this case, our own. So, if you do good things, do your work, treat people well, you feel good about yourself, and deservedly so. If you don't, you don't. It's not actually tied to looks much. If you're grossly overweight you might take some penalty for that, but that's about all.
