I think everyone is laughing at me because I'm so ugly!

Dear Diana,
I have insecurity and confidence issues. I feel I am ugly and that's why I haven't got a boyfriend and I feel like everyone is constantly laughing at me. The other day, I was walking past a few guys and they all started laughing.

The guy I dated last year says he regrets dating me and calls me the "unfittest" girl he knows. A few people have told me that I am pretty, but I dont believe them as they are much older than me! I am feeling really down about my looks.

When I look at my photos, all I see is an ugly girl. Please help me. I used to think I looked okay until recently.

Dear Friend,
I am sure there is nothing wrong with how you look. Anyway, beauty is only skin-deep.u00a0 Try to aim to be healthy, happy and a nice lovable person rather than a beautiful one.

Develop your personality and find better interests than constantly putting yourself down. A woman with personality can attract great guys, it's not all about looks, no matter what anybody says.u00a0

At your age, I, too, was self-obsessed about looking right and hated my photos. I can tell you that you stop worrying about these things as you get older.

If you are rejected by boys, it just means they are not right for you... when you meet someone who is right (and you will) then you will understand how those people are insecure idiots with no depth of character.

Your ex probably wanted to hurt you, and it looks like his plan worked. I am sure he isn't a Brad Pitt clone anyway, so who cares what he thinks... who is he to judge anyway?

I have no luck with guys...

Dear Diana,
I am 24 and have no luck with guys. They rarely approach me, and I am kind of shy. My last relationship did not last long and was disastrous.

Women, tell me I'm pretty, I try to be nice and respectful to everyone. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Dear Friend?,
If you want a boyfriend (rather than simply male attention) start by introducing yourself to guys. You should pick a location to meet the right guy.

Bookstores have smarter guys than bars. Clubs have people with common interests and so on. Go out and start meeting people.

I think my girlfriend prefers guys....

Dear Diana,
My girlfriend and I have been together for three years. I'm aware that in almost every relationship the past comes up but my past doesn't bug her as much as hers does me.

We've both had boyfriends in the past. But she told me something she did with a guy in a movie theatre and it bugs me to this day. It turns me off.

It's usually on the back of my mind, and it makes me angry and jealous.

I've told her I've felt inadequate since I dont have a penis and I believe that's something she prefers, but she tells me that's not true. Am I being immature about this?
