One of the reasons why I say negative stuff about myself is because of one person who I have feelings for. I feel like my feelings are being played with and that I'm just being used. One of the people who I like wrote a comment on their "best friend's" picture and he commented on there and I got jealous or worried. I think he wrote saying she is pretty. I don't know how to explain it properly. His best friend is a girl. I look at the girl's picture and she looks so pretty. I'm thinking to myself how ugly I am. He did say about going to England and asking me out but he doesn't love anyone at the moment. But he can't be in a relationship now as he has school and stuff. Right now, I have these feelings for him kind of. I feel like my emotions are being played with. How can I stop having feelings for someone? I wish I was beautiful. I wish I was loved. Thank goodness, this is off my chest. I fall in love easily and I get my heart broken. I'm grateful that I have friends by my side and I'm still going to go the doctor when I can. I wish I had no feelings for no one and I wish I was happy.
Thanks for this!

You are beautiful. I know coming from me that doesn't carry much weight. But you are beautiful. There are many beautiful people in the world. But every one -- every single person in the world -- is special and unique. You are special and unique and some day someone will say to himself about you: "she's the one for me." Out of a sea of beautiful people, you will be the one he sees.

Awww Happycheeks, you sound like a very sweet and loving person. Does this person know about the feelings that you have for him? Sometimes when people are really far away and you can't see them they seem so much more attractive.
If talking to this person or emailing them is making you continue to have feelings for him, maybe you need to take a break from that till you get over them. It might hurt the first few days but if you keep yourself occupied it will be better quickly.

I know what it's like to fall in love quickly - I wanted every guy i dated to be "The One"....when I started thinking more in the present and enjoying each day instead of thinking about the future it got better.

Hope this helps a little.

Since I have 2 daughters (9 and 13), self empowerment is very important to me, so be prepared for a 'you go girl speech' here lol. First of all I'm very honest - meaning I wouldn't say you're attractive if you not. I'll also state that although it seems society focuses on outer beauty, what's really important is inner beauty.

You had your picture on your profile for a short time - I thought you were pretty and I don't even think you had any makeup on. Speaking of makeup - you should google star/famous people without makeup. Only a small percentage of women are pretty without makeup. We live in a society where there's incredible pressure to be perfect. Look how many stars have ruined their faces from bad surgery and injections.

My daughter did a school speech on false beauty - how the beauty industry/fashion industry photo-shops images - they take photos and photo-shop them on the computer. They can do anything - change eye color, make a neck longer, hips slimmer etc, etc, etc. We constantly see these unattainable pics in all the fashion magazines. Even those models don't look like their photos when they wake up in the morning.

Regarding your friend - men are very visual and it's normal for them to find varied women attractive, so don't let this bother you. Men are attracted to a confident woman and a jealous attitude is a red flag. There will always be someone more attractive than us and you will be more atractive than some too - that's just the way it is.

For me personally - I would rather be with not so attractive man who has a great personality than a hunk of a guy, who's mean and shallow. I also believe in making the best of your positive assets - maybe it's your eyes, smile hair, what ever. I think the self confidence of young girls and girls your age is reaching epidemic levels. There one company(Dove) that talks about the negative beauty industry. Have a look at this webiste and click on the square that says 'a dove film where the boy is looking up' - it's a cute segment -then browse around the website. Also watch the video titles 'evolution' which shows the transformation models go through abd how they retouch photos. I like their ad campaign because they use real women, not perfect looking models.

Thank you but I doubt someone would say that about me /: I don't think I'm beautiful. I might not even be loved by someone because it's all about looks these days. I don't have good looks.

i used to feel so much like you do. i had to learn to love myself on the inside rather than looking for someone to love me to give me self worth. i hope this makes sense to you. when i realized i could really love myself i had learned to allow myself to be just me and be comfortable with that. it took practice and also getting to know myself warts and all. to be accepting of me. i hope you find yourself as being someone you love. you deserve that.
