For me, one thing would be that I do not see in the mirror, what everyone else says they see when they look at me. I work really hard to be confident, and improve my self esteem, but most days, I just do not see what everyone else seems to see. Like most people, I am sure I see the good, as well as what I see as flaws. But, no one is perfect - and I try to keep the attitude that looks do not last forever, and it is what is inside that counts in the end. That is what I look for in others, and if others cannot look for the same in me - then they are not worth it in the end.
I do not think I am ugly, by any means. I just don't see what others see as beautiful when I look in the mirror. I'd say average - but I have learned to be ok with that, because I know what I offer in other ways can rock socks off of people. ;)
Perception can be a tricky, tricky little devil.
I think your beautiful cupcake. I think everyone struggles with self image and self asteem in one way or another.
ReplyDeleteI know I do. Sometimes we just need to tell ourselves that we are beautiful. *Nods*
(ps you haven't talked to me in awhile and I miss you)
Imp, hey sweetie - Probably very true, I am sure a lot of people struggle with this. And I do work on that, I promise. And, thank you. :)

appy - Hugs... what a sweet comment, thank you! xx
DeleteI don't know what everyone else uses as their "measure" for beauty, but for me, getting a hard on is certainly one of them. You give me a hard on ... you know, for whatever that is worth.
ReplyDeletejay - lol, thank you! I am happy to know that, especially being how much all your posts make me squirm. :P hehe! xx
