Do you think you are Attractive???

Do you have high self-esteem? Do you believe you are an attractive person? What if people around you told you otherwise, would you hold your head up high or would you believe those telling this? If people around you said you were a good-looking person would you think so, or would you just keep denying it? I think I am an attractive person, there are times of course when I do think otherwise and feel ugly. Especially after having a baby I am self-conscious about my body, but I do feel pretty most of the time. If I had people telling me I was ugly it would be hard for me to think I was pretty, I would start believing the other people I guess. What about you? How do you think?

I am average in my opinion. Not hideous and not a supermodel either. I definatly don't think I am ugly though and if anyone else thinks so, then it's their opinion and i'd have to live with it.

I think I'm hot, yeah. Sure I have good and bad days, but usually I feel good with myself. I would do a couple of plastic surgeries though. I'm not afraid and I don't think it's futility at all.

Growing up I did not once hear I was pretty. All I heard was how people picked apart my features. After listening to this for years, I began to believe it. As I grew older I began to realize beauty was only skin deep, I would see a woman that I wished I looked like but she was so mean spirited it made her ugly. I still have my days when I am down and depressed and think I am as ugly as the people use to say but for the most part I know I am not. I may not have the perfect body but I am not the horrible monster I once thought I was... hey i have a good looking man I married so i can't be too bad looking lol.

you are right, beauty is only skin deep and if someone very beautiful has a bad attitude it makes them ugly! thanks for your response

Well, it depends upon how do I look over the day. And how do I feel about things happening around me. At times, I feel that I am attractive and other times, I feel that I am ugly especially when I am mad and I am fixing myself. I don't put anything in my face at all at this time so I guess, I just really don't feel good about myself...

I know exactly what you are talking about when you say your self-conscious about your body after having a baby because certain things dont look like they did before you had your baby LOL, I went throught this same feeling. I just think its all a mental thing, If we are too pretty there are going to be people that are jealous and tell us we are ugly, Then if we are ugly theres going to be people that also tell us were pretty..its just all how happy you are on the inside. If you are truly content with your mind, body & spirit then nobody can break you. I personally have high self-esteem because im content with who I am and what I have to offer.

I think I'm relatively attractive. Sometimes I have my days where I'm just like, wow, my butt looks really nice, or my stomach looks kinda toned. Then again I have my days where I'm like, my boobs are tiny, or my hair looks poofy. Everyone has their days. I think how you perceive yourself has A LOT to do with how others perceive you as well. If you get told you're gorgeous your whole life then that opinion is bound to rub off on you a bit, and vice versa.

well, I think I am attractive at times, I think all women at some points in there life are self-concious, how couldnt you be with all these airbrushed pictures of women in the media. But I think over all I am attractive inside and out. And I hope others can see it too. =)

There was a time in my life when my self esteem was none exsistent and i thought i was ugly to the bone and it lead me down some pretty bad paths in life. I had one bad relationship after another cause i would take the first person that showed me a second glance thinking i was lucky to get that and they used me bad and i took it. Now i have very high self esteem but it took a while for me to get there and i think i am beautiful right to the core and when you feel it that way people see it and i came to find out you find mates that are like you in that aspect too. I have a wonderful man now and it is to me because of how i feel about myself. If you feel that way you look and come of that way i find so if you feel therefore you are right. Feeling this way has made my life alot better and i should have felt this way all along. You should too we are all beautiful people

i am more of the self assured type, i don't feel i'm gods gift to the world, but i know what i do, makes it a better place each and everyday. i care not of what you think i look like. it is what we do that makes us more in tune with who we actually are. i have always believed that the road to a persons heart is through their eyes, when you smile with your mouth, do you also smile with your eyes, and body gestures? never believe what you hear, and only half of what you see lol

i always believe i am attractive and i feel everyone should believe this way themselves, it's only your self confidence that boosts your beauty, it dependa on how you present yourself

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If somebody says I'm ugly, I wouldn't take that to heart because it doesn't matter to me. I wouldn't deny also if somebody says I'm attractive. I prefer people to praise me by my wits than my looks.

I've always thought of myself as attractive. There are even times when I look in the mirror and I just can't get over how pretty I am. LOL. But there are also times when I feel So ugly, specially when I'm nearing my period and I feel bloated. I don't think anybody ever told me I was ugly, but yeah, if someone told me I was, I might actually believe them...or I'd work hard on improving my appearance coz maybe they just caught me on my bad day.

I don't think i'm attractive i will never think that way.I also don't have a high self esteem,but i think the inside of a person is much more important than the outside.If people say i was pretty i would be saying no i'm not because i know people who are more beautiful.If someone says i'm ugly it would hurt my feelins because i'd rather have someone thinking i'm prettey than saying it direcly into my face.I'd rather don't hear it.

That usually happens during and after pregnancy. Don't let it bother you though because its a normal phase and if you keep on doing that it may lead to postpartum blues then to depression which is never a good thing for a mother.
