You just need to start thinking more positively about yourself. It's gonna be hard, but if you need to talk about anything, feel free to PM me. (: I'm sure you're a lovely person, you just need to work on your self esteem. (:

It's alright. It's normal for us to be jealous of other people's looks. It's human nature. You need to love yourself more. You need to tell yourself, I don't care about other people, I love myself, and that's all that matters.

Plus, if you see members here that post inappropriate pictures, you need to tell an admin or staff member, because that isn't allowed.

If you need to talk, you are always welcome to.

Where are these pictures! I wanna See!! hah Just kidding.

Listen. I hate my appearance sometimes too. I'm short, and i have short arms, and I have weirdly shaped Nipples and I have man boobs, and I'm not happy with my penis length etc. I can't get girls....But what helps me is weightlifting. I weightlift and become stronger and get bigger muscles, and this helps me with my self esteem because every 6 weeks we check out our max weights we can lift and I love seeing the progress. Going up 20 lbs in 6 weeks makes me feel good about something. It lets myself know i can do something if i set my mind to it, then i go and do other stuff i set my mind upon. Two years ago I didnt have any friend. I wasnt social, I didnt have goals. Nothing. Then i started weightlifting, getting muscles. My confidence grew, and I found out that you don't have to be perfect looking. You just have to be confident with everything you do. Getting girls, accomplishing goals. making friends. Confidence is key. Now I have gained 30 lbs in muscle, i can bench over 200 lbs, I've got lots of friends, I'm president of a club at my school, i'm campaigning for state VP of a student organization this april and I'm joining the navy to serve my country.

What i'm saying is you gotta find something that raises your self esteem and work on it. dedicate your time into getting confidence. Everyone has their own thing they do. Some people like me weightlift. Some people get good at a sport. you gotta find that thing that raises ur self esteem and gives you confidence.
