How to stop feeling fat and ugly? Everyone I'm surrounded by talks about their relationships but I can't really get into one with how insecure I am. I feel like not having a boyfriend makes me worthless. If any girls have tips, I would appreciate it

i can’t help u with the self worth part, but surrounding yourself with people who genuinely don’t give a fuck ab ur body helps with not feeling fat and ugly. at least that’s what i do. i genuinely hate my belly and my mans just tells me how much he loves it and thats a good thing bc he’s the reason i have it

Unfortunately it's mainly a brain thing. You have to change the way you think about yourself. You are your biggest critic and it depends on what you want to do. If eating better makes you feel better do it. If working out does do that. If learning how to do makeup makes you feel prettier you can do that

As someone who has grown up along a sister who was constantly being flirted with/asked out while being the one who rarely had a guy ask them out, I learned that basing my self confidence on if guys are interested in me isn’t healthy and while I do still feel jealous at times I know that I’m beautiful. It takes work and obviously everything won’t be fixed in a day but once you start to put in the effort you can feel a change with you self :>

Not having a boyfriend is not indicative of any type of self worth. But you need to accept that yourself. We can give you some strategies, or things that helped us in the past but you are your own worst critic. Have a talk with your friends, maybe do a girls day. Do something to make you feel better.

I can’t give advice tailored to you, but for me I could like. Propagandize myself into loving how I look, if that makes any sense. Like I’d watch content calling different bodies beautiful and see my features in beautiful people and watch people (cough fandom) fall in love with characters who looked something like me. It sounds so stupid but it worked
