I don't want to compare myself to others! It makes me insecure

Question - (13 June 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 June 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I've recently started feeling really insecure, every time i have a picture taken i look awful and i hate having any pictures taken because i know they will look so bad and this makes me feel so down about how i look. I just wish i could have some lovely photos that i can put up of me and my boyfriend but i always feel like every photo is so bad of me.

I have also been going through troubles with my boyfriend, the added pressure is that all my friends are so beautiful and they all look so lovely in pictures and this has made me feel really insecure and I have very low self confidence. I've realised that I always compare myself to other girls who I find attractive.

How can I stop comparing myself to others? It really upsets me and makes me think my boyfriend does the same.

This beautiful girl is also moving near us and i am worrying because i feel like my boyfriend will constantly be thinking how gorgeous this girl is and it makes me hate myself even more

Get some of those portrait photos done, the glamour shots, they don't cost much. Some places do really natural make-up and you take a choice of your own clothes. At least you will have some great shots to keep and you do not have to buy them all so it can be quite cheap

I never like my photos,we are our own worst critics, but your boyfriend won't want to hear how awful you feel, he wants a confident happy girl. Do not compare yourself to others, be happy in your own skin.If you dont like your hair,change it,if you dont like your make-up,change it, your boyfriend chose you to date remember, remind him why he did.
