i guess as, as a lot of other people have said, confidence comes with time, but the absoloute key to condfidence is to be yourself- stop fretting about what you do around girls and just act completely normally- let your personality change you not you change you personality

Hey buddy. I dont care what the other ppl say. I am only 13 but I wont sit here waiting the girl I want to find me. Just the next morning , wake up , screw the other ppl and start talking to a girl. The other ppl will probably say bull***ts . Ignore them. Be polite to the girl and her friends. Make sure she has not a bf. Wait till she opens a conversation after your "hi". Then ask her going out. She will say yes (yeah she will cause you will be confident). Go get her ON TIME (its very important). Open a conversation that you both like. When you finish if you feel great (yeah you will) kiss her slowly(no i dont mean on her cheek). Dont be shy. You are 16 !!! So grow up buddy, and grow some balls with ya !!! Hope you will . If you do let me know (and remember yeah you will).

Ok first off im around the same age as you, I am shy around girls the same way u described, but im pretty confident that im attractive. you have one of 2 problems with your situation, either A you have low self asteem therfore no matter what you look like you will think your ugly or B unfortunately you might be, BUT I always see far less attractive guys than myself with beautiful girls -- looks are NOTHING if you can get the confidence down nothing can touch you - ever

Good Luck

im 16, i get told i am a good looking boy, i get looks from girls when i walk through town, im one of those emo boys, well, the emo hair, and the clothes, i wear what i want because it makes me feel more comfortable, YET, i still am incredibly shy, i havent had a g.f in ages because i find myself unable to talk to girls. but all i can suggest, with the ugly thing, is that people will say that to you, either as they are jelous, or they are ashamed of their own looks and want to make someone feel down so they dont feel as bad, its highly pathetic, but i am with you on the whole shy thing, it isnt easy to talk to a girl mainly when they look beautiful and there with their friends, you just have to wait, and it will come to you

if you go looking for it, it wont be the one for you

Hello, if you are reading this just know that it doesnt matter what others say because you know what is inside of you and you probably have more self confidence than others, you just have not had it come out yet, and thats fine. yes, i am a girl, and yes i look like a model and am very confident, but when i was younger kids picked on me and its so hard because it breaks your confidence down...but you have to know that it really is not as much as you make it out to be...and just remember, there IS that special girl out there just for you :)

so dont rush on anything, and do what you want, never hold back!

i have very low confidence so i cant really help there, but the ugly thing, there aint no such thing as ugly, who decides what is ugly and what isnt? people who make those judgments are shallow and have poor personalities

A male reader, anonymous, writes (14 March 2008):

I know how you feel mate, i still have the same problem. but from what i know about confidence just see if you can reply in your head with: 'so?', it actually helps to block out them thoughts of: she's just gonna laugh at me, she'll just walk away and go talk to that person, ill just get ingored ect.

So i can understand what ur going through, i mean i absolutly hate myself, but, so?...

If you see were i'm coming from, its all a matter of blocking out what other people might think of you, im not good at this yet, but i hope you will, and the word 'Ugly' and related words should be removed from the dictionary The Dont Exist!.

Good luck mate :-)

mrs0 agony aunthi there.. well i used to have this problem, i had to find inside what i want out of life first, befor boys etc.. my inner beauty, look deep, go baby steps to goals in life, if you start to feel great on the inside!.. it starts to radiate on the outside.. just concentrate souly on ya self, block unwanted comments out, look in the mirror, practise chat up lines, youll soon find that ya giggle at ya self.. keep doing this...i used to pretend the person opposit me had a big wart on the end of their nose... id smile on the inside, n after a while found the confidence to speak to ppl without going red, believe in you alone...

Shelley-jade agony auntTo not be so shy you have to be confident. You need to feel comfortable in the clothes you wear, pretty much how you hold yourself. Take one step at a time, walk round the clothes shops try loads of stuff on to see what you feel comfy in. Also try different hair styles. You will be surprised in what you can find, as well as feel a new you coming together.

kenny agony auntYou still sound quite young, and as you mature you will find that your confidence grows with you. I never had much confidence when i was younger, espessially around females. But as i have got older and wiser my confidence levels have grown up with me.

You are not ugly, and don't listen to the boys and girls who say that, they are just being mean.

Participate in some group activites, like soccer, tennis, or whatever you fancy, and a good social life will follow this. And in time you confidence will grow.

Good luck

I'm an ugly person and i have a boyfriend!!

Just because people say your ugly it doesnt mean

you are! Your probably good looking and people go for

different styles.

It really doesnt matter what people are on the outside

anyway its whats on the inside. If you be confident around girls, talk to them, compliment them on their hairstyles and clothes and stuff and they will begin to like you.

appygal81 agony auntWhen i was younger, i was a very shy girl. in the first grade i hid in the coat closet for the first week of school, thats how shy i was. It took me quite awhile to come out of my shell. I was probably 13 or so. Showing my horse is what made me become more conident. the more confident i got the better i was in my social life as well as my horse show career. no i am not saying go buy a horse (however it is a good sport for underconfident men as it is primarily a female oriented sport)im just saying find something your good at and confident with, that will eventually trickle into your social life. some girls will recognize you for being good at what ever you do. Does this make since? confidence comes from within. do what makes you confident with yourself and your social life is sure to follow.

cd206 agony auntConfidence will come as you get older. I get the feeling from what you write that you're still very young. You're not ugly, whatever they say, you're probs just not mainstream good looking. There's someone for everyone believe me. Just look around you. I'm sure you see loads of ugly people with boyfriends or girlfriends. Which means it all comes down to the confidence. When I was younger I found that thinking myself confident made a BIG difference. Just remember the people who call you ugly are only making the most of the only years they will be important. Once you leave school none of that rubbish matters anymore.
