I can relate to this too... however - one thing that helps me is to try and NOT be so hard on myself. Expand your bubble, and look around... there are a LOT of people out there FAR FAR worse off then you are, and somehow THEY (appear) to be VERY happy.

Granted, I'm not the modelesque porn star I wished I was... but compared to most of the general populous, I'm not doing SO bad.

You've had a few threads you made recently where you were dating and in relationships, so it sounds like you're not doing as badly as you think you are either!

There is lots of good advice here, but I think one thing that might help you feel better about yourself is to stop thinking about yourself. Invest your time and energy in others. It's hard to be self-focused when you are others-focused. It's not about finding someone who is fatter than you to feel better about your weight or someone you feel is less handsome than you to feel better about your looks. It's about genuine care and concern for someone other than yourself. Good luck.

^ I support this message. Do something that reorients you to life outside of physical appearance. It can be hard to remember sometimes in our advertising-permeated culture, but there's a lot more to life than what you look like.

Put on my headphones and listen to music. Just get lost and keep doing it until I feel better.

I wish I knew what to do to feel better about myself. Guess I'm not much help...

I was feeling down last week and believe it or not I just did a Six Feet Under marathon. That show always gives me hope especially the last episode.

Just me and Spot.

Volunteer your time at your local non-profit organization. By helping others who are less fortunate, you will get a better perspective on what life is all about. You may even make new friends.

Go for a run and work out or watch a movie or tv series that i really enjoy.

My sincere answer would be my spiritual beliefs....they pretty much sustain me when the bad stuff comes along. For me it is usually that simple...but just in case you don't have spiritual beliefs.....

Exercise...fresh air...dancing...all good mood elevators and a great way to release endorphins which will help alot.

...an even better thing to do is to get outside of yourself and maybe extend yourself to someone else who needs help. There are so many things you can do as a volunteer that would greatly help other people. Sometimes having compassion and empathy for other people is the nicest thing you can do for yourself because you have the power to make a difference.

I burn down successful people's houses.

Kidding; I just think that many people have way worse conditions than I do and I'm better in some states.
Plus repressions and lies and delusions.

i agree with bustinjeiber!

Want to feel better about yourself? Take a stroll around a poor neighborhood. You'll see some people that make you thank god for the way you look. Honestly though, if you think you are ugly, guess how many people are uglier.

I also agree with BustinJeiber! To feel better, I stroll around a poor neighborhood to pick up a trick or two for the night.

 

[Quacktastic]

I try not to think about myself.

 

[cgymike]

I stick a frankfurter up my ass. Works every time...hold the mustard though.....

 

[sexylatinboy]

I exercise but what has worked for me is getting naked in front of the mirror and telling myself how good I look. Talking to yourself saying positive things really does work.

 

[cgymike]

Ok seriously folks this is a good thread.....for me I volunteer with the local recycling project or go into a busy coffee shop and people watch...I find that just "being with as many people as possible" can work even if you don't know them. I don't have a ton of close friends and getting together with them on the spur of the moment if I'm feeling down can be hit and miss.

If all else fails I'll go out to a movie (comedy or anything that is not depressing or violent) and consume large quantities of top quality chocolate I bring myself not the crap the concession sells....

Stand up comedy open mikes are good too.

If it's not too chilly a walk in a nature park is good!

A gay bar the very last resort as that can be depressing!

Let's keep this thread going!

When music doesn't do it, I watch videos on youtube, usually ones that will make me laugh, and late at night so people know I'm laughing.
