Beauty only skin deep?

[jibjab]

Is beauty really only skindeep??? I am not being bigheaded but i am a goodlooking 23year old guy, but I feel that my personality is not VERY magnetic, as i dont tend to attract people due to my low self confidence....I find it extremely hard to say no to people and to stand up for myself.....does this mean that I am weak???


People have said before now that I am gullable and I do feel like people still treat me as though I am a child because I HAVE NO ego and dont make demands

Mates of myine (same age as me) seem a lot more mature as they are able to express themselves and their opinions whereas I find it hard to and bottle everything up.

I just wish I knew a way whre I could develop my character / persona into something people would want to be around rather thatn a down on his luck low confidence guy

Everyone matures at different paces, give your self more responsibilities it's what i did and i seemed to be much more grown up and besides you're only 23 you've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still going to have ups and downs and this is one of them it's how you handle it is what is going to prove how mature you've become.

Beauty comes from within. Outward beauty will attract people to you, but how they feel about you is ultimately determined by your heart. It's fine to wear nice clothes and have a good haircut, but do not forget to tend to your heart.

whatever you do don't feel sorry for yourself,relax enjoy it while you are young,think of all the positive things about yourself not the negative remember we all have strengths and we all have weakneses

have a drink. its always a confidence booster.get out more. dont spend too much time on the net.speak your mind,(always a good quality).and take up a popular hobby, like go the match or the cricket or the local, best off sticking with sommat that involves drinking while you adjust, but always keep smilin,its never that bad

...beauty is only skin deep - ugly goes all the way to the bone...

Not having a big ego, or making demands is not necessarily bad.

I worked abroad for a few summers and it was the best thing to do to build confidence, and find out who you are. Not having your familiar environment around you automatically boosts your confidence, as does meeting new people. The new people you meet will not know that you are usually shy, so it's a good start to beginning not to be, and you will probably find you don't want to be either! Often when you are in a routine you may not feel able to change - going away for a while people may expect you to change to a degree.

Try travelling, or a summer abroad, it worked for me! And you could come away with some great new friends too!

And remember you are a good looking guy, who sounds like a nice guy too, they can be rare (ha ha) so be confident about that!!

Hope this helps x
