Is it normal that i don't feel confident around pretty girls?

I'm a female to start. I don't reckon I'm bad looking, but I know I'm not perfect (I've got my flaws). Many guys told me that I I'm good looking. But being a negative person I am I rarely believe it.

Anyway, I sometimes fear meeting new girls if I'm with my boyfriend or even going out with my 'good looking' girlfriends because I just don't feel confident and I always feel like my bf might leave me just because there is some better looking girl out there (even though I know he won't ! ) So is it normal that I'm not confident around good looking girls? And even if you think it is, how can I change this!

  • Fear will always lead you to the thing you fear the most.

    In high school one of my best friends was dating the quarterback of the football team. It was her birthday party and I came; the boyfriend was there as well.

    The second he saw me, he instantly didn't like me and I imagine felt threatened. Long story short, because he was afraid he did things he thought would prevent me taking her away from him.

    But the things he did, made it happen anyway (even though it wasn't at all what I wanted).

    Don't be afraid; cast it out of your heart. Think only of how beautiful you are and how lucky you both are to have each other. Control what you think on.

    It's absolutely normal, and almost every woman feels that way at least a few times in her life. Beauty isn't a competition, though, despite what pageants imply. It isn't a race, and not everyone has the same standards of it even if it were a competition. As Dita von Teese said, "You could be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be someone out there who hates peaches."

    You aren't with your boyfriend until you find someone better-looking, are you? Well, the same goes for him. Try to relax. Confidence is always sexy, and it can transform someone pretty average-looking into a goddess.

    For a long time I used to feel like that and my life was a permanent state of imminent hell where every beautiful creature was a menace to my inner peace, for any of them could steal the man I was with. One day I realized I could enjoy and appreciate other girls' beauty rather than compare mine to theirs.

    Confidence has very little to do with the reality of how one looks. I was once hired for a job where all the other people who were hired for similar positions were very beautiful and my thought was "Why was I chosen along with such good-looking people?" I felt completely out of place. My point is, because I was so focused on what others looked like, I felt inadequate. It never occurred to me that I had been considered just as beautiful.

    As for your question on how you can change, it's really hard to answer. I advise you to remember that a relationship is not based on being with the best-looking person possible and that admiring someone else's beauty, personality, or even hotness, is not a threat to your relationship or its stability.

    And those pretty girls are probably looking at you thinking to themselves the same thing; "She's so pretty! I feel so gross next to her...".

    Me too. I used to feel this way. Then my fiance purposed to me and that indicated his real intentions for me. That he loved me and it didn't matter who looked better because I was the only me he ever met and him for me. I don't even care what he looks like. He makes me happy and that's the true point of it all. If your boyfriend is happy with you and you're beautiful by his standards, then what and who else matters?

    Well you say you have you have your flaws. Don't worry about it everyone does!. God I'd be here all day if I was to list my flaws but probably here just as long listing the good things about myself, but that's what makes us human. I wouldn't really say you have any confidence issues as you have stated. I don't think I am bad looking. There are people out there who are so depressed because of how they look they can't even walk out the door and yes they are often young and lovely looking.
    You know what men find most attractive on a women. "Confidence". xx

    Meh, I'd say it's normal. I'm a girl and I feel weird around other women, period, regardless of the way they look... I have no clue why.
