I have never had a boyfriend because I feel fat and ugly, people always say you need to love yourself first but I don't now how to build my confidence. I don't have friends, my work collegues don't really like me I am just someone who is there, like an irritating spot. How do you learn to like yourself?

A female reader, confusedinkent United Kingdom +, writes (7 January 2009):

confusedinkent agony auntFirst of all you need to stop putting yourself down, then you have to work on your good points. think about everything your good at, your best traits and your favourite things to do. then you can start to work on loving yourself, the way god made you!. and if something bothers you about your body and you can work on improving yourself then do that too.

to be honest I dont exercise or eat all the right things all the time, but im happy with being a curvy woman. and if I feel like exersing then I do. when I do exercise I feel great about myself and feel proud of what I have acheived. Exercise isnt just about being thiner and loosing weight, it makes you feel good and you can meet new people too.

If you dont want to exercise then why not find a new hobby and concentrate on that.

At the end of the day the important thing is that you ease off of yourself a bit, and give yourself credit for who you really are.

confidence isnt something you get over night, its all about feeling good about yourself. so stop focusing on the bad and focus on the good. get out and try new things and you will start to meet new people.

good luck in everything you do. xx
