john..... i looked at your profile... you look just fine
darlin'...

First off, you seem like a cool guy.
Secondly, If you want to "IMPROVE" your self-imag, make a list of things
you think would be better diff... You've had several diff. offers in
that catergory (my fave being the HAIRCUT, LOL!)... then just start at
one and work down the list... it'll take work.. Days, weeks, months..
BUT WHO CARES!
Then again, i fyou like who you are, REALLLLLLYYYY, DONT CHANGE AT ALL!
Who cares what others think, if you like you, BE YOU!

Grab a Bible and start reading. God thinks you are worthwhile, so you
should too.

Just focus on one small thing u want to improve about yourself and as
you improve that one thing u will start to feel better about yourself
overall. Just improve one small thing at a time, no matter how long it
takes :)
