how to deal with losing a contest ?

I entered a contest with about 8 other girls, and it was basically judged on looks, confidence, and the usual . Well to make it short I lost and came in the bottom 4.guys were shouting for me to win though. my friend made me enter and now I regret it. I just feel like my self esteem is in the toilet now. any advice on how to just shake it off ?
 
There's nothing wrong with losing the competition. At least you tried. Don't get stressed over it when you can use your effort to concentrate on other positive things. Read the 90/10 principle below.
 
You deal with it by moving on. Everyone faces disappointment at sometime in their lives (those who haven't experienced it are in for a big shock one day). You learn more from your mistakes than your successes.

Why are you whining about this? At least you had the guts to go up there. At least you were good looking enough to even be in the contest. Boy, some people don't appreciate what they have.

Time heals all wounds (or at least most). You'll either have to deal with reality now or later. Might as well learn to deal with it now. It builds character.

Why not just go out on a date with one of the guys who was cheering for you?
 
the thing is is that whether or not you won, you are still beautiful. i prob sound like a stalker, i would think so if some random person said that on the web, but it is so true. honestly, whom gives a crap about beauty contests? i mean, yeah it'd be nice to win, but its not the end of the world...at least for me =D um... i hope i helped but i doubt it...... this is just my opinion =D
