How do you help yourself not feel insecure when you are around women who are visibly better looking than you are? I'm talking about feeling insecure more about myself than about my relationship. This lady in mind looks model-esque and does her hair and makeup so well, it really fits her, and it's rare that I genuinely think someone is pretty (most people are average, including myself, but just know how to take good pictures). Looking at her makes me feel like I lack. I'm just not born with an amazing facial structure, and if I just worked on things like makeup it feels like I'm just throwing on a bandaid. I want to get over it and feel confident about myself from deep inside.

I confided in my boyfriend and he said things along the line of "I didn't fall in love with you for your looks" and I trust that. But it doesn't help much, because I'm not insecure about us, I'm insecure about myself, if that makes sense.
