You asked: I hate the way I look. I feel like no one looks like me and I am really ugly compared to everyone else. How do I get over this?

We answered: Unfortunately, most of us have felt this way at some point in our lives. We compare ourselves to impossible standards and all this does is make us feel badly about the way we look. Start focusing on what you do like about yourself instead of what you do not. You might be so fixated on the specifics that you forget you are so lucky to have great hair, pretty eyes or a gorgeous smile. Also, make sure to surround yourself only with people that make you feel good about yourself. The people that love you the most should not care about the way you look. And you know what else helps? Looking for the beauty in everyone! It is a lot easier for us to see the beauty in others than it is to see the beauty in ourselves. Treat other people the way you want to be treated and remember that beauty is not always physical. Being a great person makes you appear lovely to the rest of the world so focus on that when you are feeling down about your appearance, because beauty is only skin deep.
