I know that I treat people as I would like to be treated, but why don't I feel as beautiful as they say I am ??This may sound crazy, but it was only when I was about 16 someone made a comment about my eyes, they said that I had the most beautiful brown eyes. I get this compliment from both men and women, I never knew until then, that I had beautiful eyes. I never thought of myself as beautiful. I think that I am okay but I wish that i was as beautiful as everybody says that I am.Please don't think that i am looking for attention here, I am not. I really dont' feel good about myself, I feel like a failure sometimes. I feel as though, I could only reach a certain limit in anything that I do, and I cannot do better. Is something wrong with me ???Sorry for my long question.Sad Reply to this Question Share |

It sounds like you are suffering from a low self esteem. When people give you compliments take them on board, and truly believe them. There is nothing wrong with you atal, you are just lacking in abit of self confidence.
try some meditation CDs, there is one by Paul Mckenna, one for self esteem, and one for confidence. He takes you into a trance, a relaxed state, and after you feel revitalised and confident.
Hope this helps you x
