I know that one should accept oneself and be comfortable in her own skin. There are days when I wake up feeling as beautiful as Angelina Jolie (lol) but there are days that I just feel so low and unpretty. Do you have any tips to combat insecurity?

Maybe you think about it too much. Just let it go. Whenever i wake up in the morning all i think about is i want coffee. That's it. I don't think about myself too much.

Maybe you need to pamper yourself a little if you dont think about yourself much. It's always nice to do something for yourself. we are always busy doing for others

Maybe we're two different people with two different opinions. :)

i never feel insecure coz i know every people have different life and perspective and we have different faces and characteristic. so i will rather want to focus on how i can improve myself than look at the other people as it will only make me feel bad. as long as im contented with what i have then why would i be insecure though i know we really cant avoid those people who are like that.

the only way to fight insecurity is acceptance, and being contented of what you have, especially if your lacking in appearance, (cosmetic surgeons do miracles) but sooner or later beauty will fade, we are all victims of adhering to aesthetics rather than attitude, guess it is in our nature as mortal beings to be fooled by the sight of a naked eye, but once we mature we will realize that there are far more important than just being beautiful.

I feel I am who I am and Its ok to be me cause Im ok with being in my own skin. I try really hard to tell myself everyday it doesnt matter what others think of me. It only matters what I think of me. I am ok with all my strong points and flaws.
