Well, I wasn't suggesting she go to that kind of beach. For a first time beach user, the poor girl would be traumatised.

Probably right.

True, but then again I imagine we all would. Still normal beaches are lots of fun and are definitely an experience I would recommend to anyone.

When I'm confident with my body, I would have no objection to going to one. If I'm going to do it though, I'm going to do it when I feel like I can show off. The more in shape I am, the more comfortable I feel in my own skin.

Huh, that is odd. I've never been to a beach, sounds fun though.


No one where I live is more than 25 miles from a beach. Then again, when the only flat areas on the island are on the coast, it's no wonder.

It's not just psychological either, you physically feel more comfortable, too. I look forward to the day I feel truly comfortable in my own skin.

No matter how insurmountable the odds seem, when you break up the seemingly impossible into smaller, possible tasks, then you can accomplish a great many things.

Lots of small steps = big steps.

It's probably more a mental thing than anything physical. I know a girl who's incredibly beautiful with a stunning figure, yet she would often cry when she looked at herself in the mirror. I have similar views about myself I guess, I hate how I look but a good few people compliment me. Often I wonder if they're just doing it to be nice.

That is undoubtably the case when I get complements.

Self-image can often be very different from reality. Not always. Some people know exactly how they look.

Attractiveness is subjective. I bet there are plenty of people who think you are attractive.

Best advice I can give is this; Learn to accept yourself as you are. When you can do that, you'll find the courage to change who you are, if that's what you wish to do. I'm not saying you have to like what you see, but accept that this is how you are, and say to yourself, now is the time to change.

If you want to, of course. That is entirely up to you. Only you can decide if you need to change. :)

I've resolved to accept I'm not good-looking, and telling myself I don't give a crap.

That's the thing though, it's probably not. I know exactly how you feel though as I have the exact same thoughts about myself every day. Me saying something like this probably won't help change your mind but a lot of the problem is almost certainly mental. It probably is for me to, but it's still hard to get over.

Worrying about your own image is one of the worse things ever I feel, because you can't get away from yourself. If someone else calls me ugly, I can simply avoid them but I can't avoid myself. So yeah, you're definitely not the only one who feels that way about yourself.

That's true. Quite a lot of people view themselves as worse than they are. Usually it's not a huge problem, but some people are very far removed from how they actually look and can hate themselves because of it.

I may be biased because of how I view myself, but I believe in some cases it can be accurate. Most, no. Some, yes.

Any positive complements are very few and far between. Negative comments though, are extremely easy to come by, just ride my bike down a few blocks...

Though this says I'm a social democrat, I'm largely a left communist.
