8 Group Therapy: How Can I Be More Assertive?
It's tough not to compare ourselves to others when it comes to our weight and appearance. Some of you have already shared that seeing gorgeously toned and slender (and most likely photoshopped) models in magazine ads makes you feel bad about yourself. And one reader even said a skinny friend made her feel self-conscious. This made me wonder, if being around thin people makes you self-conscious Read more
This question is from Group Therapy in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! I am a meek person. I often get called a pushover. I admire people who are able to talk openly with others. I have to admit that I do have problems expressing myself and feelings, especially anger. I want to be bold! I want to be assertive and be able to be real about the way I feel and not care too Read more
"People always ask me, 'You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?' It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl." — In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, Precious star Gabourey Sidibe proves she's wise well beyond her 26 years. I say we all adopt her attitude. Read more
When Victoria Beckham came out as a gym addict earlier this year, people were more than a bit incredulous. Well Posh's fitness routine is once again in the news. It seems she didn't feel her old regimen of running eight miles six times a week was enough to prepare her body for her recent Emporio Armani ads with hubby soccer-stud David, so she implemented daily workouts. The 35-year old said, "I Read more
Guess who said this when asked about her self-confidence? "I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about what to change. There are things we all have that we would like to work on, and I have a list of things that I could do better in my life. But as for the physical attributes, or lack of, I think a lot about how to be a better person instead. Better wife, better mother, better friend. Read more
We all know that loving yourself is good for the soul, but according to a recent article in Glamour magazine, women who like their bodies regardless of their weight felt sick 30 percent less than women who wished they weighed less. Peter Muenning who conducted this study explains that "feeling bad about yourself activates stress centers in the brain that can actually lead to disease." This Read more
Sometimes you can be washing dishes in a grubby old t-shirt and sweats and feel super gorgeous and sexy, and other times you can be in your hottest LBD and feel disgustingly unattractive. I'm not talking about horniness, I'm talking about sexiness, and it's all a state of mind. It's about feeling good about yourself, feeling confident in your own skin. It's about the positive, bright energy Read more
I'm sure we all can be pretty fickle when it comes to the way we feel about ourselves. An entire room full of people could tell us we look stunning, but if we don’t feel like it, no matter what they say, we won’t believe them. Likewise, when we’re at home on a lazy weekend in our frumpiest outfit, we may feel radiantly beautiful — it's really just a state of mind. I happen to feel at Read more
We all have those days when we feel a little down and out. It's totally normal to wake up on the wrong side of the bed every once in a while, but it's key not to let the blues get the best of you, although that's often easier said than done! When I need a quick fix, buying something new always turns my day around. I know it's not the most savvy method, but it works for me! Since we are all Read more
Dear Sugar — I am in my early 20s, attending a good university but there's something that has bugged me for a long time — I have never had a boyfriend or had someone tell me that they like me and I don't understand why. I feel so embarrassed by the fact that all my girlfriends have had relationships or hookups in the past and I've had close to none. I feel like I'm pretty approachable but I Read more
