Losing My Self-Esteem?

[oIiIo]

First off-- so jealous! I LOVE Scotland!

Now here in the US we have an odd dating culture which I heard about a French woman on tv complaining about to a talk show host. Where r u originally from.? I think u should not worry-- I'm only 26 but I've noticed a lot about dating. First off around ur age people really start comin into their looks and not only that but they start to gain a lot of confidence. U may be pretty and all nut maybe u seem unapproachable. I know I have that problem. I could look like the most drop dead gorgeous thing in a bar and no one will come near me. Loosen up, smile more and unfortunately yes.. Be well groomed and dressed. At the very least clean brushed hair and nails done and neat matching clothing-- men look at this. I also noticed people from hs I could never picture with a guy are now gorgeous and married before I am meanwhile I def had a hot bf in hs n most others had nothing (I went to all girls hs in NYC). So really it's just about growing into itself. My one friend is 6'0 and absolutely beautiful. Doesn't need a drop of makeup or to do even dry her hair when she gets out of the shower. She can't litteraly be perfect just walking out of the shower. She never had a single date and we knew a lot of guys -- I mean she didn't even date in college-- her first bf was when she was 24 n now I'm gonna be in her wedding!! Don't stress yourself you're still young and I wish I hadn't wasted all those precious years obsessing over certain people. Just be yourself work on being more open if u aren't already and playing up your best features-- be yoursel though!! I love a guy who adored
Me by ceasing to be myself. He loved my personality and i didn't like him at all n the second I started to I started to act different I suddenly became shy n not the girl he liked and he moved on. People will take advantage of u in life . Thats just a fact. If ur not up for that then u will never love or be loved but I promise it's so worth it!!!!
