this sounds corny but it helps me alot
1) if you pretend to be confident, it will become real. (fake it till you make it)
2) make a list of things you love about yourself (your smile, your legs, your laugh) and post it somewhere where you can see it every morning, and read it every morning, it will give you a boost of confidence.
3) stop comparing yourself to other girls. they arent perfect either, and it doesnt help to dwell on something that you think is better on another person.
4) just remember to love yourself, get a mani once every month, or give yourself a facial every weekend, etc. its the little things that make you feel better

stop seeing only the bad in yourself. It’s as simple as that. Make sure that the good outweighs the bad, and you’ll be much happier.

I wish I could answer this question but I can’t for I have the exact same problem I’m 5’6" 175 pounds with brown hair but the thing is I look like i’m like 130 or so I think I’m the fattest ugliest grossest thing that ever walked the earth but everyone says i’m drop dead gorgeous i’m so self-conscious of myself that I hide in extra large clothing and never do anything to make me look better do me a favor and do the opposite of what I do go out and buy something that enhances something on you for example I have some great boobs lol so if I wanted to get attention from a guy I liked i’d wear a push up or something lol try to let it go and ignore the twigy anorexic girls around you.

Learn to love yourself, you are a special person. Stop looking a pic’s in magazines that are unrealistic, work with what you have, people will love you for who you are, not for what you look like. But on that note, looks can be changed with some effort. work on your self-esteem.

Ever heard of the expression fake it till you make it? When I was younger I seriously lacked confidence also. I had a completely bad self image problem and it took years to fix it. If I knew then what I knew now I would use it.
If I were you I would try affirmations. I think affirmations are a great way to build confidence. Just repeat to yourself over and over (best time is before you go to bed and when you first wake up because you are in alpha state which is the best state for affirmations) in positive wording. LIke, "I am completely confident in myself." "I am beautiful inside and out." Repeating a confirmation is a great way to boost your confidence. But, more imortantly you have to believe in yourself. I don’t know about you, but since I had a similar problem when I was younger, I use to have this negative voice inside me that always had something bad to say and would put me down. Of course this voice was the voice of my mother who considered herself to be a realist and actually believed in reverse physcology. So whenever I heard a negative voice inside my head (Or even for real from someone else) I would quickly cancel what was said and change it for the positive. For example, next time that voice inside your head says, "I am fat and ugly." Quickly say cancel cancel or delete that (kind of like the undo button on a computer), then you can say to yourself to correct that bad thought, "I am beautiful inside and out." Don’t say something like, "I am not fat and ugly." because subconsciously all your brain is still hearing is fat and ugly and nothing is being corrected. The way you word it is important. You have to change your thought process and think positive and well of yourself.
I suggest reading some self help books like: "The Power of your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy and "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne
I wish you the best of luck and remember….Stop thinking negative!
