Do you need people to tell you that you are pretty? I do

I don't need anyone to validate me with physical platitudes. I'm secure and comfortable in my appearance and I know I look good. What other people think doesn't matter to me. I hate that society places so much value and judgement on appearance. I was discussing in another post how attractive women get preferrential treatment, just because of how they look. I know I'm good looking. Whoopie, so the Gene Fairy was kind to me. What does that matter, in the long run? I'd rather be judged on my intelligence and what I do than how I look.

some time its useful some time its hurting

You probably do when you're young as you get older you'll like yourself just the way you are

No, first of all I know that I am would not rate top ten amongst the most handsome guys on earth. I am not another Mr Di Caprio, but I have accepted the way as I am. So I don't feel to be complimented by others to feel secure. Others can say whatever they want.

A lot of people need to know what others are thinking about their look. I don't care about it. I need to be me, with hair and clothes I enjoy, no matter if i am not fashion... and as you enjoy it: "you're a pretty girl" ;-)

i suppose that it is necessary for you to hear someone say it. It boost your self image and improve your self esteem and there's nothing wrong about it

Well somehow I do not need people to tell me that I am pretty because I know for sure I am, after all i know I feel good when I see the mirror. secondly I am pretty inside and a positive person so I am confident.

from your pic i admit you so pretty and usually pretty women or girls like you want to hear compliments and attraction and attention of others specially men of course ,unlike not so pretty or ugly girls and women who know they are not attractive but they to be attractive in other ways like doing something special like painting writing

Confidence is so vital to ones survival in this world. I can not stress that enough. A confident person usually has the ability to get where ever they need to get. I mean the point of life is to be happy. We as humans want to do so many things. We want to travel, hang out with our friends, start families and so on. I mean it is nice to get compliments and know that somewhere your external beauty is appreciated but internally you are what you feel. If the confidence is to make yourself look better then you are what you eat. Take the initiative and do something. Start exercising, use lotions on your face daily...in todays world there is just so much one can do to make themselves feel better in anyway possible.

What I think is good is that you recognize your need for this type of validation and that you are doing and asking for things that will help you grow. From you photo (assuming your avatar is you) it shouldn't be hard for you to get the validation that you need/desire. I think when I was younger I wanted to hear that I was desirable and "pretty" from the lover(s) in my life - it was important to me that they were pleased to be seen with me, I had low self-esteem, thought I was fat, unbecoming - and now it's the same in that I would for my husband to be "proud" to be seen with me, and he is (I know cause I just asked him :)) -- But you know now I am really fat sadly I have gained 85 pounds in our eleven years of marriage and I look back at my younger pictures and go Oh, my I was really thin wasn't I !! - As you grow older and settle down, I think your priorities and needs will change to other things. I am now going to check out the Facebattle.com the name is intriguing me :) Best wishes!

I think is not so important to tell somebody you are pretty, coz is not always good.

Pssst... You're pretty. It'll probably mean less to you as the years slip by, but still ... if it feels good now, enjoy it. C'ya 'round Sweets.

I find that I need to hear this too. I think for me it's a result of loosing two husbands to other women. I wasn't like this when I was younger, so maybe it has to do with me getting older as well.

I don't need anyone to tell me if I look handsome/pretty. Since I can look in the mirror and be satisfied with what I see, that is all that matters to me. If you don't like it, too bad.

I guess you're so insecure about yourself that you constantly need reassurances from other people. I also receive compliments about the way I look, although not constantly, and yes, I consider it a compliment. However, I'd much rather get a compliment on how I think than how I look. Physical beauty is just that....only skin deep. It means nothing! Have you ever seen the "Beauty and the Geek" show? Where DO they get those brainless stupid bimbo's?

there is no ned to tell anyone that we r pretty.beauty lies in ur heart

there is not need to tell others pretty. the others can felt that you are pretty.

In life today some people need to be told that they are pretty, maybe due to you being young you need to know this, but I think that most people feel great when someone compliments them on how they look and if they look pretty, it also inspires us to make sure that we look our best.

well u r pretty :)

all girls are like that. but it takes so many words, acts and things to build us up but one simple comment can bring us back down. it doesnt matter who says it, just that it was said. i need someone telling me im pretty too because i focus on the bad things people say about me and need to be reminded of the good things.
