Question: Help me get confidence back after an accident.? Please read inside..?
Okay so I was recently hit by a truck and I'm pretty much ok other then a collision and a lot of scraping and bruising. Most of the damage is on my face, down my lips, across my forehead, on my right cheekbone and on my chin. Not to mention like all over my body. Whenever I go out in public people always stare or point or completely refuse to look at me at all. It's really hard for me because I'm an inspiring actress and model and always want to look beautiful and it's never really been a problem. I'm going back to school on monday and I'm really nervous for people to see me. How should I act.? How can I feel more confident until I heal completely. Please help! I feel so ugly. I'm fourteen by the way I'm in drama and I'm a cheerleader.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I have been through this type of a situation and have some answers that helped me.
#1 Those are warrior scars NOT ugly scars!
#2 Look in the mirror and except yourself,then express that confidence to anyone you meet in public.
#3 Accepting yourself is the problem not what "they" do. Imagine every situation of embarrassment and then say to yourself, " I know that ONE thing will happen in every situation and that is that I will walk with confidence and accept myself."
They will sense that you accept yourself and your scars will become attractive instead of ugly. It's all perception based on confidence or lack of confidence.
Real emotional pain comes from not accepting yourself. If you didn't get in that accident you wouldn't be able to sort out the real from the fake people so use this as an opportunity.
I was crippled until 12 and was beat up, made fun of and teased for 8 years. It was the bets thing that ever happened to me because of the inner strength I developed from it.
You need to tell yourself you are beautiful every day and be a friend to the one in the mirror.
Edit: dejunbug is an idiot!
Edit#2: Use dejunbug as an opportunity to to train yourself how to react to an moron like that. When I talked about strength I learned it was how to see opportunities when others see dispair.
A piece of coal to most is ugly and dirty,but the most flawless diamond once was a piece of coal. Fake beauty is robotic and boring. also females don't know this,but the most attractive trait to a male is a women who is tough and confident while being nice,not the barbie doll with no core values. You will be fine.Health Question & Answer

Don't be afraid to just look people in the eye. The scars that you have will make you unique and sometimes casting directors like that look. Don't be timid if people ask questions. Just stand up straight and tell them what happened.
And finding a way to make a joke about it all makes everything better.
Best of luck!

If you are an aspiring actress. Then you need to know how different people in various situations feel. Because in your acting you might have to play the roles of the ugly and the beautiful, the injured and the healthy.
This is your opportunity to experience a different character from the one you are used to. People will react to you differently from what you are used to. And in a way this will be similar to experiencing the life of a different person.
I suggest that you pay attention to your experience and remember it well. Because it might be useful to you later on in your acting career.
I think you should look at your present situation as an opportunity rather than as a problem. Health Question & Answer

aww, dont worry hun. The good news is that you will heal soon, and nothing is permanent. These few days will be tough because you probably feel extra self conscious. Umm, the best thing i can advise is to not "act" a certain way, just be you. If any of ur friends start being rude, then i guess it shows you who ur real friends are...& if they are superficial or real.
The good news is that ur still alive and that nothing serious happened to your health. Until then, look on the bright side hun =) This isnt the end of the world, and god wanted u alive for a reason. Good luck, and stay strong! Just remember....your face will heal soon. You are beautfiul inside and out! Dont worry about a thing ;-)
p.s. when u sleep put neosporin and a bandaid to help the healing process.Health Question & Answer

It's really good that none of your damage seems like it will be permanent, and that's something you should keep in mind. Bruises and cuts will fade with time, and scar treatment is available. For the time being, just ignore other people! You were very lucky that you weren't hurt worse than you are, and there's nothing wrong with being injured - anyone in your position would have that injury, it doesn't make you any less beautiful that you got hurt. People may have strong reactions to your appearance simply because it is shocking to see something like that; chances are, you would react the same if you saw someone come to school suddenly covered in injuries. People are just concerned that you're okay, and if people stare in public, that just makes them rude. Don't let this get you down - it will pass!Health Question & Answer
Haha you were hit by a truck, you ******* idiot! Who gets hit by trucks.? You're not going to make it in society, society is not built for human comfort. Its in place to take advantage of people. You want to be an actress and you don't know how to act.? Not exactly earning points for originality here are we.? Acting in REAL life will leave you feeling horrible and you will only find fake friends, get real or exile yourself until you see what "real" really is.Health Question & Answer
