Do You Feel Beautiful? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people coming out

SMLequalBGFs · 2nd Sep 2010, 05:53 PM

I'm just wondering. I'm a stanger and I care

I wanna know if you, right now, feel beautiful. Or handsome, or sexy, pretty, cute, special, important, yourself. Because I know how hard it is to get into a mental state where you feel like that. I was very unhappy with my appearance and personality for a long time...but now I love myself, I am beautiful. Do you feel the same way about yourself?

Yessiree I dooo.

Z3ni · 2nd Sep 2010, 06:00 PM

Nein.. My face looks like it has anxiety stamped all over it, maybe I should stop OCD-ing myself. And a question, what does it mean when people say, feel like "Yourself"?

2nd Sep 2010, 06:06 PM

I think I have my moments =] but I wish I was tanner, but that so trivial because i could change that in a matter of days if I wasn't lazy xDDD

GoinStag · 2nd Sep 2010, 06:06 PM

Not at all.

**Eric** · 2nd Sep 2010, 06:09 PM

I would say yes because I'm happy with who I am and am comfortable in my own skin.

VampConspiracy · 2nd Sep 2010, 06:11 PM

No, but I don't care too much.

IsItSo · 2nd Sep 2010, 06:22 PM

RedKnight · 2nd Sep 2010, 08:37 PM

let me get this straight..you're too lazy to tan? now where i come from, tanning is laying sometimes falling asleep outside, it's hard for me to imagine something that requires less work than that.

as for me? uhh..well i've always been insecure.

RaRa · 2nd Sep 2010, 10:37 PM

Sometimes. When I actually make an effort to look good.

**Maddy** · 2nd Sep 2010, 10:54 PM

Courtneyyy · 2nd Sep 2010, 11:45 PM

sometimes.
currently, yes

8bit · 2nd Sep 2010, 11:52 PM

Yes.
I don't have time to worry about flaws.

katie · 3rd Sep 2010, 12:15 AM

no, there is nothing about me that i am happy with. I kinda wish that when i was put together, God wiped the board clean and started again.

Ben · 3rd Sep 2010, 12:16 AM

Ahah no. But it doesn't bother me at all, because I'm happy with how I am.

partietraumatic · 3rd Sep 2010, 02:18 AM

sometimes, depends how much of an effort i make, its like a psychological thing. If i just see myself in the mirror i don't consider myself beautiful.

But if, say, im going out and i spend a while getting ready, doing my hair, putting on some nice clothes etc, then i look in the mirror and think im not half bad.

Stuie · 3rd Sep 2010, 02:29 AM

Not beautiful, but content with my appearance. There's not really a lot I could change. I could lose a bit of weight, but that would more be a health thing and I'll wait until VCE is over for that.
