The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.

Let's start a trend through this comment....

I'm insecure about:
- possibly looking different than others
- my wide(ish) lips
- my occasional acne
- the way my shoulders slump forward naturally (even with good posture)
- the acne on the back of my shoulders
- being flat
- being considered weird because I'm shy possibly
- feeling shy around popular kids even though they're nice, then am crazy around my friends and they see that (they could think I'm mean, not shy)
- the way my face gets red when I'm called on in class sometimes or have to give a presentation
- being very un-photogenic
- people possibly thinking I have bad fashion taste
- people possibly thinking I'm mean or arrogant (gosh I hope not)

But the thing is, I am made the way I am for a reason. I don't look like others and that's good, if I did, that would be kind of odd. Shy people are great because once you know them, you get to see who they really are. Acne is normal, a lot of models are sort of flat, not good pictures can be funny, some guys might think it's cute that my face turns red (idk why tho), I like what I wear because it is comfortable and not flashy, I am a very kind, sweet person and I've been told that by so many people. I am beautiful the way I am and I need to accept that, whether that be right now or tomorrow, it needs to be soon.


Your turn. <3

I don't get mad when people offend me,
i just try and hold back the tsunami of my insecure tears from the day, and cry it out later

*Is it just me or whenever I enter a crowded room, I feel that all eyes are on me, as if they're watching every single movement of mine...*

I tend to act to damn weirdly conscious, making my body straight, keeping that perfect smiley face... It's awkward...

[sharonc]

Haha I don’t need signs I just ✨ *know* ✨ it

[creativename]

i feel like they should upload more "what to do if _"or "how to be more _" to kind of balance out the "signs of _" videos because sometimes we do need advice to be better than we are. (just a thought lol)

[Ruby-egvw]

Im crying while watching this, because I grew up being bullied and I do not feel good enough and I always compare myslelf to others
