I just wanted to go home and jump in the shower and get ready all over again.

Do I really look that hideous? Do people see me this way? Why do I see a huge, lumpy mess when I look in the mirror in public? Yet, at home, I didn't think I looked as horrible when I got ready. ((sigh))

Shocking really. I really want to go home and just hide.
I feel the need to talk to you about this, because I know what you mean. But I want to ask you to please try not to shut yourself off from the world. Try and remember not looking that bad when you were at home, and try to tell yourself that nothing's changed.

My dad always tells me that I need to stop worrying about what I look like because no one else does. That everyone else in the room is to worried about what they look like to notice what I look like. I only realized that that was true a few years ago, and it's my only lifeline right now. (my dad takes me to very rich and fancy parties where women wear ball gowns and look like angles... he's a fundraiser... I'm a broke arts student... it's intimidating)

Try hard not to lock yourself in your house, it is the worst thing you can do for yourself, and it's very hard to get out once you get stuck in it. Try and be brave, and try not to hide away.

No one is usually paying attention to what you look like. Movies and tabloids make us think that they are, but no one really cares unless you're famous, except you. Try and tell yourself you're pretty, even if you don't feel it.

I wear pretty underwear when I feel ugly... it helps.
