I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I'm a pretty attractive guy who has gone through and still going through a mild case of acne and pimples (mostly on my nose). My self esteem was really shot in high school because of this, along with social cliques.
Anyways, I have a huge problem of one minute looking in the mirror at myself and thinking I look really hot and then 10 minutes later I see myself and can't stand the sight. Sometimes I'll pick out an outfit and think I have a good hairstyle before a party and then when I look at myself in the mirror I'll find something wrong with it and completely change my outfit and hairstle (possibly wearing a hat instead). Basically, I'm obsessive/compulsive with how I look. The thing that eeks me is that the way I look is never consistent with how I "think" I look. It bothers me to one minute look extremely hot and feel very confident and then 10 minutes later being just appalled by the way I look.
The main reason I started this thread is because of a few photos someone took of me at a party on facebook. In one of the photos I look really hot and that's how I feel I should look all the time. However, another photo had me in a bad position and I look just dreadful. I can't get this image out of my mind and it's eating me up inside. I know I shouldn't obsess over how the mirror/camera portrays me and that I should just feel good inside. The thing I don't get is how I can feel/look sooo good one minute and then feel the complete opposite the next.
How can I consistently feel and look my best?? so I don't obsess over dreadful photos of me on facebook or the way I look in the mirror?
