I dont want to come out as narcissistic but Ive been told that I look good yet somehow I dont like to hear that. Its like when Im at home looking myself in the mirror, theres no problem but when there are people around while Im looking in the mirror its like it isnt me...its strange. I work out, I have a great body all muscular yet somehow it doesnt feel right. Sometimes it does but a lot of time it doesnt. I consider myself to be good looking but when Im amongst people it feels strange. Its like I have this strange idea in my head. Does this have to do with self-acceptance?

You don't sound like a narcissist at all. I think it's fine and healthy to recognize we have attractive qualities. I think that does contribute to self-acceptance.

I like my hair and feel good in jeans. It's on my profile page. My hair is my fave.

Amazing...I never talked about this to anyone, not even my therapist but than again i just started to seeing one. Its nice to have this kind of forum. I dont know why I didnt think of coming here years ago. Its like I grew up with the idea that looks are all there is and other things arent important. I dont want to feel like that anymore but its hard to shake of this feeling...almost imposible. What do you think I should do?

It sounds like you have a shaky sense of self, of who you are. Get to know yourself better. It's not all about looks. Who are you inside?
