I remember as a little girl, I would look into the mirror and ask myself why my face was so sharp and angular. I had and still have a very pointy chin and nose and have those bones that stick out at the temples. I used to want an oval face, that of a classic beauty. I remember I was told as a teen that I was relatively attractive but pity about the big chin by another. Ironically it was from another Aquarian. But then I took up astrology and realised that what I was doing was trying to reject my Aquarian features and so was the other Aquarian. Now at this age, I have accepted them and have grown to be proud of them. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences that they have felt. IP: Logged |

Well, I used to be unhappy with my broad shoulders and wide jawline...I'm very square-ish. Now I don't really mind it at all...I rarely wear make-up anymore, and I'm still on the odd side. I have yet to meet a person who has not liked me...So I guess it doesn't really matter what you look like as long as you laugh. I laugh all the time, even when people aren't funny. I have the gift of making people feel funny, and I think that's the only way to make anyone like you. Looks don't matter, and it took a while for me to understand that. One of my favorite quotes is about this very subject: ''Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, & those who matter don't mind.''
-Dr. Seuss I love that quote  IP: Logged |

I'll add these too for a little extra inspiration for anyone who is afraid of what people think of you:when it comes down to it, let them think
what they want. if they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them anyways.
-Marilyn Monroe Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off doing her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!'"
-John Mayer For beautiful eyes, look for the
good in others; for beautiful lips,
speak only words of kindness;
and for poise, walk with the
knowledge that you are never alone.
-Audrey Hepburn only dead fish go with the flow. who are you to judge the life i live? i know im not perfect and i dont live to be, but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.
-Bob Marley Imperfection is beauty.
Madness is genius
& its better to be absolutely ridiculous
Than absolutely boring.
-Marilyn Monroe keep your head up
your colors are beautiful
when they say give up
just turn up your radio. IP: Logged |

I've always hated my face shape....I truly don't know if I'm seeing it the way it is or I exaggerate it....especially my forehead. Its oval, but I keep wishing it was heartshaped like my sister's. She looks good with almost any hairstyle. I kind of used to be unhappy with my nose because it wasn't flat like my mother's and I had a more "pointy" profile like my dad's. There was a libra boy who was my neighbor-he's the one who pointed it out. Said my nose was funny-looking....and it stuck for a while. A scorpio/sag once pointed it out too. My weight has been up and down almost my whole life. I wasn't exactly the skinniest girl in jr. high or most of highschool. But I digress as I learn that this isn't everything.IP: Logged |

My gigantic nose has been an issue for me for practically MY WHOLE LIFE. Someone called me bignose, someone else called me "thunder thighs", my best friend at school said I had hairy arms and when I got my hair cut she said I looked like a boy, and someone else made a comment on my birthmark when I was 11 - all these things RIPPED INTO MY SELF-ESTEEM! Aghh!!!! I'm so angry that people said these things to me!!! I became a severely self-conscious teenager and I always believed that people were looking at me because they were laughing.  People always said they liked my hair colour, which was natural chestnut red, but I never liked it... I MISTAKENLY went back to this colour recently and all the memories have come flooding back. I was so confident about my looks for the past five years or so, but since I now have this old hair colour back I feel like I've gone into a time warp and the insecure "me" is back. I can't wait to get back to the hairdresser to fix this. Sorry for the ranting and raving, I just feel so angry revisiting these past hurts! I happen to be working on my heart chakra at the moment and I think I could be releasing these feelings as a result....... agggghhhhh. Sorry.But my nose, it really is massive. I don't know what sign that's got anything to do with... ? IP: Logged |

I didn't notice anything really when I was little. I know as I was growing up, I hated my nose. And then my feet got big and I grew tall and skinny (5'1 in 4th grade...) and I was called bigfoot. Hated that. Hated my feet more than anything. They stopped growing in 6th grade at a size 11. Eventually I did too.It was embarrassing though, being a tall lanky kid... 4'7" in the second grade is pretty dern huge 
But yea, I grew into my features. And I learned to love them because they're not going to change and I was made to look this way for a reason
I know Pisces is associated with feet....my Jupiter is in Pisces
12th house cusp in Libra, Venus in the 1st.. I guess this makes my feet something I'm very self-conscious about..
I grew into my nose, which when I was little seemed huge, but now that I'm older there's nothing wrong with it.

hmmmmmm.."rhinoceros rear"
"hippo hips" "buck tooth buffalo butt"... that one I thought was pretty creative.. this was fourth grade..gotta admit these kids were imaginative with their taunts for me.
it didn't help that my last name is the same word used as the measurement for 2000 pounds.
not so much fun for a chubby farm kid who was strong enough at the age of 8 to carry calves and throw hay bales around...
i have a really long face, and a big nose with a bump on it. i used to get beat up on the bus, spit on- i was taunted for years. i never could figure out why i was always the target....just 2 weeks ago, i was driving and a car with 3 guys in it pulled up and shouted at me "you are so ugly.."
its not like i am deformed, and i am not obese- but i have always wondered if there is some astrological prediliction in my chart that "proves" this kind of abuse. no, i don't like the way i look... and i know everyone tells you to "accept it" and "make peace" with the way you look. its hard, when this is the feedback one gets from the universe...

motherkonfesser,that is so fricken cruel of those guys driving by and saying those things. Love to you dear~  once when i was pushing my first baby in a stroller, i was over-weight, and living in the land of the petite, some jerkoffs in a pickup truck yelled out "FAT-ASSSSSSSS"/ My husband thought maybe they were yelling " FINE-ASSSSS"... (nice leo hubby eh?) I did manage to check with everyone I knew to see if I did indeed have a "FAT ASS".. and the verdict was, YES, I had a fat butt. I lost it eventually, but then I got it back when I had my second child.

Alanabelle, same here! I shot up almost a foot in the 4th grade, and it doesn't help the fact that I've always been really skinny. I still get people that tell me I "need to eat" and that I must be "anorexic" even though I eat like a cow- kinda makes me mad but I've learned to deal with the fact that I have a fast metabolism.I used to hate my face shape when I was younger- I guess you could say I have a square shaped face- strong jawline and cheekbones and a prominent chin. But now I love it. I've also always hated my nose- it's pretty small, but I have a tiny bump at the top that I can't stand! But I'm learning to deal with it. IP: Logged |

lovely* ~ I wanted what barbie had too. Not anymore though. I've always wanted to be taller and thinner.
I had more serious weight issues when I was young.. people would say, "She's so pretty, if she coiuld just lose the weight" Well, now I have a better handle on that or should I say fewer handles My ex-husband used to smack me on the rear and say, "Good game"....

i have issues regaring my looks too.I'm not particulary happy about my teeth (which i'm in the process of straightening) and i believe my breasts are too small, kind of like Kira Knightley's.Ohterwise i'm not complaining because there's always a possibility of being worst 
A lot of people have told me that i'm beautiful and very pretty and sweet, but there's something that doesn't let me believe it.That's the worst thing about me - lack of self confidence.And that unfortuately shows in my social life, people fear of getting colse to me (IP: Logged |

This is an interesting threadI used to think that my thighs were FANTASTICALLY LARGE when I was about 10 to 15 years old. It seemed like all of my friends had skinny legs with thighs that didn't touch, and it made me very self-concious. It didn't help that when my mom gained some weight during a divorce she complained a lot that "she could feel her thighs brush when she walked". This depressed me because I was only 14 and I had had that problem for a while.. But I got over that soon enough because I realize that my legs are AWESOME!! My legs have always been very well developed, muscular, and long. I have been a dancer since the age of three, and I have SAG rising which I think explains my legs. I love the way they are shaped now. If i want to show off my best asset on a date I will where a skirt. IP: Logged |
