 I am the exact same way! I dread going places for those same reasons..and constantly compare. Even scope out places. We have to avoid certain shows or movies because I get angry and feel bad about myself that I cannot compare to the way Hollywood or television..magazines etc. Make everyone so perfect. Hate the thought of my boyfriend fantasizing or idolizing another woman..especially if she's not teal. And omg if she is an actual woman in a store or walking down road..I dread him seeing her!I have always had a touch of jealousy. But never this bad.I am not ugly am pretty I am told. But I do not see it and am 20lbs heavier than was when met my boyfriend. Sorry not an answer here would love some advice myself before I go crazy. It is nice to know I am not the only one feeling this way. Maybe can help each other..

Everyone has insecurities, even the "beautiful" women yu see in the club have insecurities and they feel like they don't look that good too and sometimes they arent very happy either. The women in the club may even look at you and be like DANG shes happy... and look at me. So feel good about yourself, hold your head up high and be CONFIDENT honey.. Yo man is right by your side.. He doesnt want them obviously if hes with you! BE HAPPY! [Real women have curves!]

And one guy was talking about how beautiful his girlfriend was and she was. I felt and feel sooo jealous and I don't know why I always want to be the better looking one. I haven't found a way to get rid of this feeling but I know that it is ridiculous to feel this way. You just have to look the best you can and work with what you have and thats all you can do.

Be strong and I hope evrything works out for you....

reader, anonymous, writes (14 June 2008): Well, hon, it sounds like a totally personal problem to me. For one, you seem to be hung up on physical looks and you feel "inadequate" in some way. Do you think your BF, or all men, just rate women on their looks? I know, if you browse the women's mags, you might think so. But, babe, that is not all we look for in a woman we want to be with. Forget the other gals! Who is your BF with? He is with you! He could be with someone else, but he is with you. Obviously, he sees something in you he does not see in some other woman. Is he being fooled? Are you someone he really would not want to know? Lighten up, babe. Be an interesting and loving person that BF obviously believes you are. Otherwise, since he wants to be with you instead of those "other", more beautiful women, he must not have much judgement,...right?
