Does anyone else have this? I feel like I measure my attractiveness on how other people treat me. I can't feel attractive by myself other people have reassure me. I found out my boyfriend was looking at other women and now I feel like I'm not attractive enough. It's like I need men looking at me, if they don't look at me it means I'm ugly. What is up with me?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (13 June 2012):

This is a very common problem: lack of self-esteem. There are things you can do about it, lots of help on the Internet or self-help books or you can get counselling.

Most men look at other women, so try not to take it personally.

And as well as attractiveness, there are personal qualities people are drawn to.

I completely understand you on this one!

I have the exact same issue and always feel that i need reassurance in order to feel of an aesthetic worth!

When finding out a boyfriend has been looking at other women this is sure to make you doubt your own attractiveness, i think anyone would feel the same way. I'm currently trying to find contentment with in myself as i feel without this key sense of feeling happy with the skin you are in, a feeling of self worth will never be achieved.
