Q: I feel so insecure, yet a lot of people tell me I am beautiful. And I just don't believe them. I want to but deep down I can't. Every time I look in a mirror all I see is ugliness. I don't know how to boost my confidence, and not fake it. I want to believe I am beautiful, but how? How can I boost my confidence to believe what everyone says?

I know it can be hard to realize your beauty with all of the pressures of society and what not, but the thing is, no one can make you realize your beautiful, only you can. You should look in the mirror everyday, and say “I am beautiful and I am worth it.” There’s always going to be people who are prettier than you, smarter than you, more talented than you, richer than you, etc, but there will also be people who are less. You are an individual who is beautiful
