Normal to want to change everything about your appearance?

I always hate the way I look. I've sat down and talked to my best friend about everything I could change about my self, I ended up naming nearly every part of me. I was wondering is that normal to want to change everything about you besides your eyes and calfs.

    Ok no one even models are 100% happy with their appearance. It's just important to remember it's not your appearance that truly matters. It's what's inside that counts.

    The most beautiful female in the world turns ugly very fast when rude and uncaring.

    I feel the same way. I can always pick out things I hate about myself, my thighs, my nose, my skin or whatever is bothering me that day.

    I've gotten to the point where it really has effected my self-esteem. I see myself as an ugly freak half the time (I have body image disturbance).

    You should really look within and ask yourself what you like about yourself, it doesn't have to be looks it can be personality too. Once you figure that out, you will realize that you are better than you thought you were. Focus on things about you that make you special.

    Your post reminded me of Valeria Lukyanova. She was a pretty girl, nothing special but decided to have major plastic surgery to look like Barbie or an anime character, I think her 'after' is stunning.

    Yeah this is normal. I felt the same way about myself, you eventually learn to accept yourself and when you do, you start to see more parts of you that you like. Stand in front of the mirror, and give yourself five compliments. If you look hard enough you will find them. You have no idea how many girls feel this way about themselves. I can guarantee you that the girls you wish you could be could find more things they hate about themselves than they could count on their fingers and toes.I heard this quote once that you might find uplifting. "the reason we have insecurities is because we compare our behind the scenes to other peoples highlight reel"
