I have a lack of self esteem in my appearance.
What makes a teenage guy attractive in his looks? When people look at me, I feel like I'm being looked at by someone who thinks I'm ugly
Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

normal. if you think you're an ugly guy, then you're obviously not muscular. trust me, even a well defined bump on your arm boosts your self esteem tenfold. try working out a lil. it's not how good you look that matters, it's how you carry yourself. and if you have 200 pounds of muscle to carry around with that, then all the better. learn to fight too. fighting and getting a bloody nose and a missing tooth doesn't hurt your chances with the ladies either.
ok im agree with the guy above about the muscle thing . figthing not so much .
but if working out isnt your thing , just dresse in a way that you stick out in a good way with style. get a cool edgy hair cut , dont be afrayed to look different ( any girl worth datting likes a guy to be different) .
like weiring rings , since few guys have the balls to weir rings , its a sorce of atraction to girls especialy if it has a story or cool ability ( like mine spin)

but yeah just , try to be more pleasing to yourself first so as to stay thrue to yourself ( it doesnt mather how much ppl love you , if you hate yourself you WILL be miserable ).
awws honey its fine everyone is unique and differnet and we all find different people attarctive just as long as u know u are a good person on the inside
Its so sad how normal this rated.


I never look at a person and think of how ugly they look unless I hate the person.
lose fat & pack on muscle = confidence

i know it's the most obvious of answers, but it's simply too true to deny
First, realize that most people are too busy wondering what you think of them to be thinking about you. Become externally focused. Second, set self-chosen goals and achieve them. Maybe start with the goal of getting in shape. Eating right and exercise do wonders for your self-image.
This is normal in a teenager of either gender. Don't focus so much on what you can't change, try playing up what you've got or what you can. Most girls and guys at this age, primarily the attractive ones, are incredibly shallow. I'd like to believe we grow out of it. I'm a good-looking 17 year-old girl and my boyfriend is slightly overweight, but I still love him. I've learned that other things are more important anyways that I find incredibly attractive, like intellect and personality. Also, like I said, play up attractive features. I can totally get around my boyfriend's weight because he's intelligent, strong, has the brightest blue eyes, and thinks I'm adorable no matter how bad I look. Good luck!
I feel the same way, but I'm a girl. I know I'm attractive, but I just can't help but think others are picking away at all the things they don't like about me. ugh! I hate it. I think the person above has it right... most people are too worried with their own looks to be worrying about yours.
