The value of self esteem and feeling good about yourself far outweighs what superficial value makeup could ever bring. If friends don't accept you for who you really are, then they're not really friends are they?

@PatKirby ok but my whole point was, I feel better about myself when I am wearing makeup. So my self-esteem and feeling good is tied to the way I look. Doesn't really have anything to do with my friends accepting me.

If it costs the expense of putting makeup on your face to feel better about yourself, makeup is not the problem.

Here, try this.
[i]Forget [/i]about other people. They're too busy thinking about themselves anyway.
Concentrate on yourself. [i]You [/i]know your value as a person. You don't need anyone else's help [i]just to be yourself[/i].
Your confidence will begin to show on its own. Before you know it, others will notice and be attracted to you.
Start with that.

@PatKirby wow u make being a girl in 2021 sound so simple. Some of the advice is good, some I don't really need cause I'm already good with, the other stuff is not really realistic because you are coming at it from a your perspective which is fine but it leaves out a lot.

Ok, so are you saying you cannot be yourself? That you have to act like you're somebody else for people to accept you?

@PatKirby Why are you under the impression that putting on makeup somehow makes you a completely different person?

Let me clarify something. Real confidence comes from the inside, not the outside. Good luck.

@PatKirby that's not really clarifying your last statement, you are just making a completely different statement.
