Bella really does not see how great and pretty she is at all..    and everyone tells me I am gorgeous..    except I don't see it at all (just like her character)..   and it seems to me like boys definitely do NOT see it. whats wrong with me.

Replies mycuteFIEND Posted at 7:46 pm on Nov. 23, 2008 You just have a low self esteem. You look at celebrities as people who you'd like to be and you'd like to look like. This is normal, especially in our time. You're just insecure, and your friend is right. You need to see yourself for the person you really are, which I'm sure is an amazing, beautiful person. If it helps, maybe you should refrain from looking at pictures of all these amazingly beautiful celebrities. You don't need to live up to that kind of expectation, you don't need to look like those celebrities to be a pretty, good person.
