Celest agony auntHello dear,

It is all about you... being pretty.. the real difference from a pretty person to a not so preety one is just a sense of oneself. If you have a good sense of yourself that makes you pretty. Is magic. You can always improve some things for example, if you have a greasy hair go find the right product, if you need some exercise go to the gym or bicycle or walk.. eat properly... be creative with your clothes and your accessories!!! Be natural!!! I believe that is a very nice process and very interesting to make your own natural cosmetics, from herbs and seeds and fruits. You will find thousands recipes in the internet. Improve the things that you can and accept yourself in the things that you cannot change. If you have a low self confidense and I think that you do, you have to work with yourself in all levels. Start reading about building your self confidense, thing positive, mingle with people with high self esteem and people that thinking in a positive way. Choose how would you like to be and act as you already there!!! Just don't forget always to ask why?? Why do I want this, or why do I want that... it will help you to understand yourself and your needs better!! Design the new "You" write it down and go for it!!! All my best pretty one!!!

Hey, it's okay to have low self esteem. Even if you don't have a disability, it doesn't mean you don't have the right to feel bad about your appearance.

If people say that you're pretty, please try and believe them.

You don't have to be outgoing and confident to be attractive.

The fact that you're shy may give you a mysterious edge or may make you appear cute and sweet. Just work with what you have.

(And buy sexy lingerie, that always makes me feel gorgeous)

DoubleM agony auntOk young lady. Believe it or not, we all feel that way sometimes. But please think about what you DO have. I'll presume that you have the following by twos: eyes, ears, arms, legs, feet, hands, breasts and both halves of some other physical features. And perhaps you have all your fingers and toes, a good head of hair, an operational brain that works and can learn - and all your senses. You can speak, hear, smell, see, feel and eat without trouble - and all your bodily functions do a reasonable job of what they are supposed to do.

Now please know the following: Some or any of the aforementioned could be missing. Almost every day, I see people with an array of physical and mental misgivings in life, and in few cases were their troubles any fault of their own. Most were born that way or suffered an unfortunate mishap. At my job, I occasionally help a woman whose left eye and some of her face is missing. Presuming you have few if any such issues, please tell us again how unhappy you are about life and your looks . . .

tiffanylovepandas agony auntDon't be so negative. You're beautiful in your own way and believe that because people can see it also. Looks aren't all that important. Personality counts in the end so just puck up and be more outgoing and learn to be less shy. Smile more and show people you are beautiful. You can do it (:
