Reading this made me so sad. I don’t know if you know this, but everyone in the world has insecurities. Everyone sees flaws in themselves, I promise you that. People have been telling me I need to get into modeling for years, but when I look at myself, I see so many flaws. I think “How could I ever model? My nose looks too big. I don’t have abs. I get breakouts. I have blackheads. I have wayy too many freckles for my liking. I have chicken legs. I have terrible posture. My teeth aren’t perfect. My feet are ugly. My butt isn’t big enough. My boobs are quite large for my little body.”
And the list goes on and on. No matter what you will always see flaws in yourself, what you need to start doing is pointing out the positives. Maybe you like your eye or hair color, maybe you have pretty lips, maybe you’re just looking too deep into yourself and you need to look at yourself how other people see you. Yeah, there are the douchebags and bitches out there that will love to see you pointing out your flaws and will be right there next to you making up and pointing out more.
Then, there are the people that will tell you why they love that you aren’t hourglass shaped. They love the way your eyes look. They love your straight hair. That list can go on and on too. Nobody is perfect, the sooner you realize that the better. Well, you probably already know that actually.
All I’m saying is keep your head up. This letter actually made me look at myself in a different light. I need to stop putting myself down, and so do you. Everybody is beautiful in their own way, I believe that. Seriously, next time I want to see you putting up a list of the things you like about yourself, and it better be more than 10 things like this was
news flash…
there is no such thing as a symmetrical human body… its scientifically proven.
you’re wasting too much time and energy focusing on your flaws… so what.. nobody else is perfect, but do you see everyone else listing an entire profile of what they find wrong with them? no. get over yourself, because you’ll never make it in life if these are the things you’re worried about now. you have so much more to learn than you even realize. grow the hell up.
Look, everybody has things about themselves that they don’t like. It’s up to you to take those flaws and make them assets. There are some things that are changeable – like toning your body with simple diet and exercise additions to your daily routine. Plus, the endorphin boost you’ll feel with all the exercise you’re doing, your negative feelings will decrease.
For the things that aren’t changeable, it’s about loving yourself for who you are. Even “perfect” models in magazines are photoshopped to the unattainable ideal you see in ad campaigns. Time to see yourself for who the wonderful person you are, not for the plastic imaginary person you want to be.
I’m picturing you, you seem fairly beautiful to me. I love people’s flaws. It gives them a raw genuineness, a brilliance that a perfect complexion doesn’t do at all.
I bet your beautiful. Just in your own wonderful way.

7)My lips are disgusting and have no shape/form
8)My skin is dead
9)Too many discolorations
10)Way too many black heads/spots
11)My face is darker than the rest of my body( too dark and ugly), my neck too, somehow
12)Pimples and marks on my chest
13)One breast and nipple is bigger+ my breasts are so light in color
14)Noticable hairs

18)Hairy fingers (like a man)
19)Extremely black knockles
20)Messed up permanent boil on thumb
21)short fingers
22)No hips at all. I’m just too straight (not the case with any other female in my family even my younger ones
23)My legs are too long (abnormally long)
24)They are too straight and narrow and just emerge from my pelvis(no hips or curves)
25)They are too hairy
26)My toes are messed up (my third toe is longer than the second on both feet)
26)I’m too tall ( not freakishly around 5’7 but I look tall around every other girl
27)Really skinny (not anorexic) but even so, there’s no space between my thighs so I’m a proper figure one
28) Writing this made me realize that there’s not one physical attribute I like about myself. I’m 16 so I’m pretty sure I’m not to young to develop these things I desire. I’m just ugly.
I’m a ginger, that comes with it’s own list of problems. :O)
I’m far from perfect, but let me give you a quote:
“Love isn’t finding a perfect person. It’s seeing an imperfect person perfectly.” -Sam Keen
Dear Author,
As a woman myself, it broke my heart to watch you list all your physical imperfections. Pure Beauty radiates from within my sweet. I know we are our own worst critics sometimes, but don’t let it consume you. You are gorgeous. Let me tell you something, some of the most gorgeous woman in the world, as deemed by society, are shallow and heartless inside- that is ugly, and not special in the slightest. Its how you see life that will make you the happiest and that is infectious and attractive!

@gemini,
Gingers are sexy! I don’t buy that… : )
WOW, this might be the first time we are in agreement. haha
I enjoyed the Sam Keen quote- I’m somewhat familiar with his work.

It’s weird how I actually felt better after reading the list and comments. Even weirder how ridiculously obsessed we’ve become over body image. Some aren’t even flaws at all, it’s just the way we were born and there’s nothing we can do about it except spend enough money to buy two mansions on plastic surgery.
I made a list anyway of all my physical flaws;
1. My body tends to store fat in all the “wrong” places (legs, arms, face)
2. I suffer from cellulite and keratosis pilaris (a fancy word for chicken skin) only on my legs so I’m not very proud to show them off
3. There are a few discolorations throughout my body (a little on my face but, thankfully, people mistaken them for freckles, and on my neck and chest)
4. I have flat feet due to the terrible mistake of wearing soless and archless shoes when I was growing up
“Flaws” I had absolutely nothing to do with and can’t change even today:
1. I’m short (GO FIGURE!)
2. My face is as round as a baby (but it’s not fat, just my shape) when I wish for a more defined one
3. I HAVE to wear glasses
Nevertheless, if it weren’t for flaws, “unique” wouldn’t be a word cause we all would be so perfect. And, in reality, only God can attain that. For the flaws you can change (such as unwanted hair growth –it’s called s-h-a-v-i-n-g), change them. As for the ones you can’t, suck it up and live with it.
Here are my flaws; From top to bottom
Crooked eyebrows
Mole on cheek
A bit of extra skin under lip
White acne scars on chest
Excessive hair on arms
Dark hair on breasts
Excessive hair on stomach
Scarring on stomach
Stretch marks on lower back
Stretch marks on hips
Stretch mark on upper back
Scar from 9 stitches on right hand
Scar on right leg from 35 stitches
Excessive dark hair on legs
Everything else I can live with and accept.
To all who read this & have commented, this mere male says to each & every one of you the following.
YOU, YES I’M SAYING THIS TO YOU.
You are all that a man desire’s as beauty is in the eye of the beholder & when we are happy in life you ill have a glow that shines for all to see. Looks fade with age & that is reality. The true beauty of a woman is the love she willingly gives to all that see her as women are naturally the nurturers & this comes with ease as a woman is more in tune with their spirituality than a man can normally ever be.
There lies one of your greatest strengths. The way she makes a man, friend or family member feel loved, the way she listens to his needs & desires, that loving gaze when we see each other’s reflection in our luminescent orbs(that is a sign of true love? Try it when gazing upon another as it doesn’t work unless truly in love) , the way she holds his hand for the world to see, that letter, phone call during a lunch break will make that man dream of you all afternoon, it says he is mine & I am his, this is the man I love, that kiss goodbye & kiss when we walk though the door.
All our so called flaws are actually what defines us as to who we are-Unique. It is all the little things we do for each other that shape us as to who we are & that is what true beauty is to me?
Sincerely yours,
A Mere Male
