Love help: How can I learn to accept myself just as I am? - Help.com

So, for starters, what do you like&dislike about yourself?

Too love yourself, you need to be confident. You need to trust yourself. And you need to forgive yourself. Then you make what ever is possible to let people know your a happy person. A happy person is always willing to present themselves. Remember this.

It’s not that much that I like/dislike about myself. I know I’m smart. I know I can be funny. I know I’m a bit talented. I just feel like it’s not enough, something weird like that.

Mmmmm….you mentioned the way you look before..

Its all about you. One thing you could do is get confidence mp3s off lime wire or other places. Find one you want I recomend a guided meditation. Then listen to it for 30 days before bed. it really changed me and i only used like 2 mp3s. It could help. The other thing you could do is Get naked more. Obviously don’t go steaking everywhere but when your lounging take your shirt off. This will make you more confident in your body. Also it will show other around you that you love yourself. That brings me to my next point love yourself. Every morning and night look in the mirror and hug yourself and say i love you. This might sound a little weird but you actually internalize it. Another way to develop confidence which i think is over looked too often is excercise and working out. This summer i worked on my abs legs and arms. This quad attack on bad self confidence this summer helped me change in to a person who i love. It also made me a hell of a lot more happy.

What?

Looks can be changed with makeup ;) Not that I use it much, I have absolutely no sense of how to use it and look good xP

Focus more on your good points, you know you’re smart, take confidence in that. You’re funny, you know you can be, you don’t even have to try! People would -kill- for that talent. (They’d kill to be smart too, but they haven’t figured out how, I think.)

Focus on your strong points and gain more confidence in that. Eventually you’ll come to be able to give up on your other points and take them as they are.
