How can I feel better about myself?

I'm my worst critic. I beat myself up over the smallest things and can't help compare my life to someone else's. I feel like I can never do anything right and I try and keep a positive attitude but then I just feel like im lying to myself. I feel so horrible almost all of the time. it doesn't help that I'm put down by the very people who aren't suppose to. I have a lack of self confidence and its hurting me in every way possible to the point where I never want to do ANYTHING. the only person who makes me feel better about anything is my boyfriend but I don't want to rely on him to be my source of happiness.

so... how can I feel better about myself?

yo just got to make do with what you have, and dont take what you have for granted

your absolutely gorgeous. I dont see how you could be like that. im kinda the same way with sports bc my dad is all on my case bhout bein the best. I don't know I kinda have to same problem I never seem to do good enough for him and your right its really hard to be happy with anything I do cause I know he wont be happy. jsut keep trying to stay positive and get through it.

Hey I feel that way to sometimes usually when something goes wrong and I think that everyone else has it so easy, but in reality it's not like that life is meant to be hard so we can work through the barriers and look back at how we've coped and it makes us happier. I've been through heaps in my fifteen years (lOl) but I've managed to work through it and I'm really happy now! BUt if you have people who are constantly bringing you down the ones who aren't supposed to, talk to them about how it affects you and is'nt helping you and if that doesn't change the situation get them out of your life or just igonre them.

And if your boyfriend is there for you, making you smile and good about yourself embrace it! Just start thinking more positive about life and where you want to go with it, because ultimetly its up to you hun!
