“How can I help a burn victim feel less self-conscious about his appearance?”
I am a 28-year-old woman and I recently started dating a similarly aged burn victim. He's really shy about his looks. How can I help a burn victim feel less self-conscious about his appearance?

Perhaps by emphasizing that you are attracted to his "insides" more than the exterior such as his personality, sense of humor, character, kindness etc. That these aspects more constitute what makes him beautiful!

I wish I could say you could fix or change their feelings, but you cannot. The choice to feel less self-conscious is only up to the individual. We can do a lot help and encourage, but the final decision is going to have to be theirs. I would encourage counseling, you cannot force it, but encourage it. I would also encourage and demonstrate positive self-talk.
TELL HIM THAT PERSONALITY IS WHAT REALLY COUNTS
