Quotes About Self-esteem

Girls have that wonderful thing where they try to throw each other off, not wanting to appear too eager.

Being well-dressed is a wonderful thing, but I don't think it should be life threatening.

I like the laid-back ladies. Looks are stressed so much these days, and a lot of girls feel they need to do all of these weird and wonderful things to look good, and they really don't. The best-looking girls don't do anything; they just sort of know they're beautiful, especially in jeans and a hoodie.

It's an epidemic. Instead of socialising and having proper conversations, we're staring at pictures of models in bikinis and wondering how they look like that. It's like self-loathing.

I don't want to be wondering about how skinny I am, wondering what I'm going to eat because I don't want to gain and I want to look hot and young, always and forever.

I grew up being very shy, very much a bookworm, and I remember desperately wondering how to be accepted by the popular kids.

I was just starting out, trying to become a screenwriter, and I became the Austin slam champion three times. For a nerdy, kind of a socially awkward guy, that did wonders for my self esteem.

One time, somebody said I look just like Evan Rachel Wood but hotter.

I started riding the whole 'fluffy' train, and it's a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. If you call a girl 'fat,' yo, she'll raise hell, but if you say, 'Aw girl, look at you, you're fluffy,' there's almost a sexy appeal to it.

Empowerment is a word that comes with liberty.

I've been asked many times if I considered myself a narcissist, so I looked up the real meaning of the word, and I came to the conclusion that indeed I am one. I think of myself as better than other people, not every person, but many, unique and talented, and I aim to success.

I've always thought of fat as just a descriptive word.

No one goes unscathed, we all go through things. We just can't let people's nasty words become our beliefs about ourselves, you know?

What matters to me is my own estimation, and I'm very tough on myself. I need to be proud of what I've done and I work hard for it. I had a very Christian upbringing... lots of guilt. A good thing, It keeps you sane.

I am unable to eat what I want to and always work hard to maintain my body and looks. I envy other women who have a free lifestyle.

I don't get embarrassed by the same things that other people do. I would say that probably the biggest thing that holds people back is, 'If I do this, I'm going to look like an idiot if it doesn't work out.'

When I work out, I feel happy, confident, and accomplished.

I can't work out in front of so many people, that's why I don't go to gym.

If you're a fat person - and especially if you're a woman - at all stages of your life you'll get abuse for it, so you have to work out a way of dealing with it. The best way is to be humorous about it - that defuses any tension.
