The belief in your own attractiveness, your self confidence, is the first thing people notice about you. Believe in yourself, and others will believe in you too!

This is great advice. However, in my case, there is no attractiveness to believe in.

This is very true, usually if you exert a level of self-confidence, you're life will become a lot better and a chance of find someone is greatly boosted. People do not want to see someone who is miserable and/or self-loathing because they see it as a inconvenience they do not want in their lives and a potential emotional baggage that will degrade them (and it's true). Who can blame them? I mean I want someone who's not depressed or worrying about their self-image all the time either, because I've been through some friendships where the 'friend' emotionally dragged me down to a point I became severely depressed. So I cut off ties with them, often in a swift reaction due to that. People want someone who can be humorous at times, easy going and someone who is confidence of themselves, willing to compromise, share and relate to and not afraid to try things. It's hard to let go of your negativity, but once you simply don't care and focus on your positive traits then things in life will improve. Don't say you don't have any positive traits, as everyone has their pros and cons.

Sometimes you are your own worst enemy when it comes to how your life is. You cannot whine about it otherwise you'll get nowhere, you have to actually go be proactive to do something about it in order to improve.

I am so sick of hearing this, because it's about as useful as telling a poor man with no boots to "pull himself up by his bootstraps." People can spend their entire lives trying to improve their self-image to the point where they have "confidence" in themselves.

It's not about improving your self-image to try and give yourself confidence, that actually has the opposite effect.

If you try and think positively about yourself and being comfortable and happy with who you are, it should improve your quality of life.

I find WP a bit of a drag sometimes with people complaining all the time.

yeah, but if you go through life thinking you're "no good and worthless" who are you hurting but yourself? I finally decided when I was 16 that I was tired of thinking of myself like that. I'm stuck with me for the rest of my life, I had to learn how to like me for me and screw what the rest of the world thinks. It worked too (with a lot of hard work, and not to say that occasionally when I'm down I can fall back into that thought pattern, but normally I'm pretty darned happy with being me).

Exactly how I feel and with same results. Although I'm far from perfect but eh, at least I'm now reasonably content with my life, as oppose to severely depressed like years ago.

Yeah, once I realized that teenaged angst is really not all that attractive...At about the same time I stopped wearing all black, and thinking of myself as a "tortured soul". I was definitely into the doom and gloom, woe is me attitude. Oy vey, it's a wonder my parents survived my teenage years. Laughing

Yeah, confidence makes a big difference in all social interactions.

However, I find it hard to think unrealistically about my attractiveness in relation to other people. I tend to look in the mirror and assess my appearance as I would that of a stranger (AS thing, maybe?).

At times when I have been less attractive (bad hair cut, brief chubby phase, zits, or whatever), I have learned to be confident in my sense of humor and my knowledge, and use these things to impress people - I think it works.
