Depressed at the mere sight of a pretty girl?

there are many times in life when we feel outcast and alone. now is the time for you to make a critical decision: will you let this problem shape who you are for better or worse? it may not seem so to you now but there will be very many opportunities for you to define who you are by your actions, not your looks. there are many people who have the bad luck to be born poor, diseased, and yes, unattractive. and yet, there are many in among these that go on to make extremeley positive impacts on their communities and beyond. this may all sound cliche to you, but think about it. you can allow your circumstance to push you into eating disorders, cutting, and all sorts of other aweful things. OR, you can pull yourself together and become stronger. i suggest you spend more time with friends and family, learn to appreciate what amazing things life has given you, and take on the largest challenges you can in education, fitness, and socializing. hang in there! we're all in it together.

I'll tell you what. I have seen girls that are not that beautiful in the face or body, but they have this charisma and confidence that makes the entire stare at them. Focus on the things you can change or fix first like diet, exercise. A fit body is amazing to have. I have been chubby and flabby until 2 years ago. I decided to go to the gym and actually sweat. Now I am 30 with a better body than I could have ever hoped for after a lifetime of flabby belly and cottage cheese thighs. Next, groom. Make sure your nails, eyebrows, teeth, are clean and done. Your clothes are clean and ironed. Your shoes are clean. I promise you, this will give you the confidence to stand next to any plastic barbie doll with your head held high. Don't forget to nurture your brain, and learn to be happy. A smiling, laughing girl attracts more men than a brooding serious hottie.

your just being a teengaer, insecure and all.

It is normal. I am sure you are beautiful, just don't get too cocky miss America ;)

Sadly insecurity never goes away. Sorry

I feel the same way a lot of the time, I am now 20, and it seems to be getting worse as I get older, not better. So I don't think this is just a "teenager" problem. I have tried not to let it get to me, but I just feel so ugly most of the time, that seeing a pretty girl just causes me to feel worthless. I just try to tell myself "were all just on the scale" meaning there are people below me and people above me on the "attractive scale".

I, on opposite, am happy to see another beautiful girl: it comforts me that that girl is also pretty, but her beauty does not put her on the top of the world as it does not put me. You know, that nobody appreciates her beauty, just as they don't appreciate mine. Otherwise I would feel that I am the only girl in the world whose beauty is vain. Try to think the same way. :)

I used to be the same way but not as bad. I think if it doesn't improve you might want to talk to a therapist. But it might just be teenage insecurity and boredom.

Too sensitive, it would be awkward for me to hang around a person like that. G'luck though, I suggest to just get over it.

I don't understand how envy and insecurity could not be considered normal people in ANY teenager, we're all like this for the most part unless we're lucky enough to be the flawless ones.

It's normal.

I used to be like that. But, once I started high school ...I've been told 5 or 6 times I am really pretty and I've recieved attention from guys even though they're a waste of my time. Too clingy. It's the way you carry yourself. Own it, be yourself and have your own style. But.. be sensible and have fun :)

sweety i am sure you are beautiful! i also had times where i felt insecure and ugly but believe me it is all about confidence!most of the guys like girls with confidence! be confident that is the most important thing.I have many friends who are so pretty but their personalities are like shitt seriously and my friends who are guys like hate them so much cause of their personalities!So be confident and don't let anyone make you cry i am so sure you are beautiful!=)

There is nothing to ever cry about. Yes, there are models, there are girls that were born beautiful, but WHO defines what beautiful is? I'm sure you're a beautiful girl. I myself get jealous whenever i see a pretty girl, but its never ever anything to cry about.

Just remember, if they're pretty, they're most likely a mean b*tch. It helps me, maybe it'll help you.
