Am i good looking?!

Right I've been really struggling with my self-esteem over my looks for literally years. It has hit rock bottom this summer where I couldn't even bare to look at myself in the mirror.

I've got to uni and basically I'm reappraising this assessment. Everyone asks me who my ex-girlfriends were, and when I say I didn't really have a proper one (which is true) they look at me weirdly -- like they expect me to have had lots. I've had 3 girls comment saying they find me physically attractive since I've got here, completely out of the blue, something that never happened before.

Not only that I've noticed that I'm actually getting quite a lot of glances off girls in the street etc, something I never really noticed until my mate kept on pointing it out to me. Then there's this girl over the corridor which I really like. A randomer saw me and her chatting and said she really fancies you from the way she was looking and talking to me.

But deep down I can't believe it and just explain it all away. This is basically down to my 2 year massive infatuation with a friend and me beating myself up constantly. Is it fair to say with these signs that I really need to feel more confident about my looks?

yeah, you need to build up your confidence, so you can begin to get over the infatuation, and the low self esteem that made you beat yourself up about it.

you seem to be getting a lot of attention, so you must be good looking, i will say be careful though, make sure you get a girl who likes you for who you are and not soley your looks :smile:

i'm a believer in 'you are what you think' kinda thing. begin to change the way you see yourself, shaping it into a more positive perspective, and you'll begin to feel that way. as for the girl you have your eye on.. go for it tiger :wink2:

Lucky.....My situation is the opposite, i used to get plenty of attention but since i came to uni i get absolutely 0. I say just go with what everyone else is saying, at the end of the day its down to other people whether your physically attractive or not.

Aw, you definately need to feel more confident. You know, your endearing and understanding nature probably makes you more attractive, unfortunately probably a result of the 'two year infactuation'.

Hope Uni continues well :smile:

are you seeking attention here?
you have low self esteem, i understand this, but girls are looking at you, and people are telling you your attractive,
i dont get what your problem is
