Question - (29 May 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 May 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I feel so sad and ashamed! I am very insecure about myself even though some ppl have told me I'm pretty I just don't see it or see mysef like that. Then I did a Horrible thing I'm terribly ashamed of. I pretended to be this other girl online. Actually I used a few girls and I thought he would notice. Maybe he did but he never said anything. She is an up and coming model so she is somewhat famous and one of the most beautiful girls you will ever see. She is Very girly and basically Perfect-from her hair, to clothes, makeup etc, she is always put together. Her face and skin is absolutely Flawless! I started liking a guy and since the pics were not me I think he ended up liking her and not the real me. I don't think he will like me and worse of all compare me to her! Now while I have somewhat the same style and I at least used girls that are somewhat similar to me I am Not them. There is no way I feel I can measure up to this model. The girls whose pics I used were mostly professional while I don't exactly have the resources or confidence to take professional shots. Since she is a model she is really good at doing her hair and makeup. I feel so low and hate comparing myself to her and the other girls. Will someone please help? Do you think this guy will understand or forgive me for doing that? I wonder if I should never talk to him again!?

angelDlite agony auntlots of people prefer to use an avatar rather than their true self online. has he commented on how pretty he thinks the photo is? and if so did you keep up with the lie? (if you did, THAT looks bad)

let him see a photo of you as soon as possible and see does he still like you, you have to know either way, you cannot just continue living this lie.

also you should try to learn how to do your make up and hair nicely if you think you are not very good at this, why not go along to a local beauty school and be a model for the students? while they are being taught how to do your hair and make up you will also pick up tips on how to make yourself look good.

photo's don't have to be professionally done to make someone look nice, so next time get a pretty photo of yourself and post it online so that the people you meet will be under no illusion about the real you
