This year, especially during school, i've been really insecure and self conscious. Im going to be a junior next year and when i was a freshman, i had my hair in a ponytail everyday and i wore boring old sweaters and could care less about my looks. Then when i was a sophomore, i decided to change because i wanted to look nice. I cut my hair in layers, got highlights, bought pretty clothes and now i wear makeup. I look better, but i always look in the mirror to fix my hair and makeup. I feel like a shallow loser, when im really not. I'm a kind person..i just want to feel confident. Im tired of picking out my flaws. did anyone else go through this? what happened? thanks

I find not caring helps. It's what I do, and half the town knows me, chicks like me, and I have great self esteem.

Just always tell yourself "It's what I think that counts."If your so self-consious, what do you think people are thinking when you look self-consious?!?! Better be confident !

I dont think you have low self esteem, I think you are perfectly normal. That you changed to make yourself better is a good thing.and it should make you feel good about yourself. I am sure there are lots of things if you really look within that you are gifted at. Looks wont always matter, its how you carry yourself, and take care of yourself that shows on the outside. Its normal to be insecure with yourself at your age and this will pass.
