How does one improve their self-image?
Answer:
well is there somethin bothering you? try to think if there is something you are carrying on your soldiers and try to solve the problem. Lately I havent been feeling too good either, could it be a relationship gone wrong? I understand how you are feeling, and all I can say is hang in there and try to do things you enjoy. They may not give you as much pleasure as before, but try not to think of it that way. Try some new things, things you always wanted to do but couldnt.
Every day, look in the mirror and name five things you like about your appearance and dont leave until you do it. Then thiink of five things you like about your personality.
I would say this is a hard question which is why people are afraid to answer.
A couple of ideas...
Who are you comparing yourself to? Do you spend a lot of time observing hollywood stars or the most popular people at school or work or even a friend or sibling you admire? Please know that we only see a part of other people, and that is the part that people choose to show us. That means that they may be looking in the mirror at themselves wishing they liked themselves better while you will see their happy faces and wish you were more like them. That's kind of a standard answer but you may want to consider it.
But to be honest (and this may be hard to hear/read), I think you may be struggling with depression. What you said about struggling to find pleasure in things that used to make you happy is what makes me think that. There's a lot of negative social ideas about depression but many many people suffer with it at some point in their lives. If you are feeling down about yourself, that could be why. If you feel comfortable, I would suggest going to a counselor or psychologist and they would be able to help. You would not need to go on medication unless you want to, but (take this from someone who has struggled with the same thing) talking with a counselor may help.
you USED to be confident? I'm just wondering if I should feel sorry for you or not? The only think I can suggest is get used to it.
