"When you're interested in somebody, and you think they might be
interested in you,
you should point out all your
beauty problems and defects right away,
rather than take a chance they won't notice them."

That's from Andy Warhol's little book called Love, Love, Love. Chances are, people don't notice your flaws and weaknesses - you do. They're not thinking of your weight, height, or skin - you are.
