Ok, i have terrible self esteem. Terrible. I alsways get called ugly even by strangers. I know you shouldn't let it get to you, but after a while it's started to grow on me. It really bother me now. When i ask my mother she just gets angry and leaves. Is there any way to boost my self steem and make myself feel better? Thank you ~

well for one thing you arent ugly....some people like to get a rise out of you so the best thing to do is ignore them

yeah you look a lot better than me :D And I completely understand I'm to the point where I'm not even aloud to cry in my own home if I need to let it out. I know it's hard but the earth isnt the earth without some flaws sweetie everyone has somthing special look at models my prime example some have long faces, long necks, and got called amazon woman because they were to tall for other peopls taste. they got a job for being "weird" I got  jumbo sized nose but I'ma tell the world "bitch I'ma work it!!"

Also it helps to think of this. If a gay man in drag can go to the world as a beautiful woman I can flaunt myself and feel as pretty as he does.

Ps you arnt ugly and it pisses me off that you think so because you look 80 billion times better than me :

look in the mirror and find something about you that is beautiful. this sounds weird but it actually makes me feel better about myself everyday. it'll be hard at first but do it everyday and it'll help.

also, just tell yourself that everytime someone say's you're ugly, that they have lower self-esteem than you so they take it out on you. don't let them! Be yourself and be strong!! 

I feel the same way, and during our exposure (where we feed street children; a school's program) my team mates ask them. "Is she prettty?" and pointing to a female team mate of ours, the kids answered "yeees!" and they kept going as asking about other team mates. Later, the insturctor told us, "No, there's no pretty or ugly here." We replied alright. Later, these kids in front of me, pointing at me, and the other whispered to the other's ear and then he shouted, "Big Sis, he said you had an ugly face." In a much more impolite expression. It ruined my whole day and couldn't get it out of my mind. I was crying inside. I kept hiding it with smile while I feed my two kids in the exposure. I went home and told my mother about it. She laughed and said, "What are they saying? Look how beautiful you are."

Well, yeah, those words stub you, no, us painfully though but just ignore them and be yourself. Listen to "pretty-unpretty" song by Rachel Berry and Quin Fabrey (Glee), I forgot the real singer but the glee version is much beautiful. Also, "Reflect" by Hatsune Miku. Try them.

Tell me how you felt.

Another, throw those words away and walk straight. Chin up, get rid of the frown and wear a crown. Smile. Confidence is another way to show your beauty.

Honey, the last thing you are is ugly... You are quite beautiful!

I have self esteem issues too, normally if I need a boost, I just get dressed up for the hell of it even if I'm not going out and strut my stuff around the house. 

Yeah thats another thing gaining confidence is hard as *beep* scuse mah lingo. the toughest test you can give yourself is to stand in front of the mirror and say I am beautiful to you stop crying about it. it's hard I still have a hard time doing it but it's gotta be done ^.^

and if your not a big fan of glee or miku ~*no offense clockbell*~ you can always try this video ^.^

I belive the best thing to do is to surround yourself with positive people and get rid of everything negative. When you get rid of the negative you will start to grow, because nothig will be in your way anymore and keep you down. Be with peope who make you feel great, wear things that makes you feel pretty, do things that makes you happy.

A good start is to write down something positive about yourself evey day, to make you appreciate yourself. If someone is mean to you you can still write "somone was mean but I handled it like a grown up and I'm not resorting to their low inmature level". That way you can still feel good about yourself. Learn to appreciate the small things and you'll soon have it black on white that you are a wonderful person who achive things every single day :)

And you are not ugly :)

It seems a bit silly at times, but whenever I think I look good, I tell myself, "I'm so cute. I'm so pretty" or similar things. When I'm feeling down, or someone made fun of me, I simply remind myself, "I'm cute." or "They don't matter, I'm doing this for myself." and so on.

I have extremely low self-esteem as well, so I completely understand your situation. I feel as though everyone is looking at me, and saying terrible things about the way I look, or the way I talk, etc...In reality, everyone is too focused on themselves to really care about you-that is of course, unless you're one of those people who likes to point out fault in others to make yourself feel better, but those sorts of people are everywhere, and you'll just have to ignore them. I'm one of those really sensitive types, so I take every little criticism I get as an insult.

I, personally, do not believe in the idea of 'ugly'. It's all personal opinion anyways. I just don't feel that such a thing as 'ugly' really exists; unless it's referring to a person's terrible attitude-THAT, you can appropriately call ugly.

Best way to boost your self confidence, and this is all in my personal opinion, would be to remember that you're human, you're not perfect, and you'll never be. That being said, you can be rest assured in the fact that you'll never have to live up to such false ideals. Now, I'm a hypocrite in saying all this because I'm one of those terrible perfectionists, but more so with academics.

i've been called ugly, and I'll admit, it hurts, a lot. But really, does it mean anything? We, as humans, have created the illusion of what 'ugly' is, when in truth it's our actions that define us more than anything. Say someone is really attractive, physically, but is a terrible person on the inside. As cliche as this sounds, that person who was once so attractive slowly, but surely loses their attractiveness and becomes ugly because of the way they act. 

In short, don't let others discourage you, because what they say doesn't
really matter in the long run. My grandmother also tells me that when
you get older, you tend to care less about what others think of you.

Now, I know I'm not the best sort of person to be saying this, since I'm only 21 years of age, but having to hear your parents and other family members nag on you about this sort of thing all the time really implants in your brain forever, haha. On a side note, funny enough, my mother really didn't have any self-confidence until she turned 30!!!!!!(So you have plenty of growing up to do :)
