Do you like your looks?

Do you know that many people live their lives thinking that they aren’t good looking while they are attractive?
our question is,
Why would someone who looks attractive spend his life thinking that he is not attractive or even ugly??

Many people who suffer from self image problems see a completely different person when they look in the mirror instead of seeing their real looks.

As a result those people live their lives thinking that they are not attractive and lose many of the opportunities they would have gained if they felt more confident about their looks.

This means that right now while you are reading this mail you might be thinking that you are not attractive while in fact you are really handsome!!

What really causes a self image problem?
And why would an attractive person see an ugly reflection in the mirror?
If the person's childhood was full of criticism and if the child wasn't extremely attractive to the extent that everyone used to tell him how attractive he is he will certainly develop a self image problem by believing that there is some problem with his looks.

Since the child faces continues criticism and rejection he starts to look for a reason to justify these rejections and finally he reaches a conclusion that people don't like him because of his looks!!!

In cases of extreme attractiveness the person avoids blaming his looks for the rejections he gets but in most cases where the person is just a normal looking attractive person doubts start to form which lead to the self image problem.

So the main reason that makes someone think that he is not attractive while he is really attractive is connecting the rejections he got earlier in his life with his looks instead of finding the real reason.
In the beginning the person becomes unsure of his looks to the extent that he sometimes thinks that they are the sole cause of the rejections he gets while in other times he thinks that he is attractive. After few more rejections the person becomes very sure that the problem is with his looks!!

As a result of the development of the self image problem a limiting belief about the person's looks is developed which is strengthened everyday as the he faces new rejections.

Usually the person who suffers from a self image problem thinks that his looks are his weakest point and that's why he thinks that it’s the main reason he fails even if there were other reasons involved.

Since a self image problem is caused by a distorted view of a person's looks it would be very hard for someone to change his idea about his looks easily unless he gets external feedback.
One of the best ways to get over a self image problem is to learn body language so that you can know how many people think that you are attractive.

After all most people who think that you look good wont tell you that directly and the only way to know it would be through body language. People with self image problems become amazed when they learn body language because of discovering that many people find them attractive.
As time passes the limiting belief about the person's looks will weaken until it will disappear taking with it the self image problem.
If you want to get rid of your self image problem today then you must start learning body language right away.
