First thing we really need to talk about is comparison. So many girls are always comparing themselves to other girls, wether they're on social media or their genuine friends. It's a shitty feeling and it took me a lot to finally be confident with who I am and who I want to be. No one should be comparing their body to someone else body, because their body is theirs and your body is yours. And neither of them is the 'right' body, or how a girls body 'should be/look like' Nothing good ever comes out of comparing yourself to other girls, 'cause you either bring yourself down and end up feeling like crap or you're just like "oh I'm prettier than her anyway" and then you're just prideful. Don't compare yourself to other girls. I know its easier said than done, I'm guilty of comparing myself to other like all the time. But if you're conscious of doing this then hopefully you can change. Embrace your imperfections because thats what makes you you, thats what makes you different, thats what makes you special. Second, be kind to yourself. I've noticed it's really common for girls & guys to apologies about everything, but that kind of chips away at your self worth. Because you're constantly taking the blame for tiny little things that don't actually matter. That's so bad for you, you gotta think positively about yourself. And don't point out your flaws. And I know I'm guilty of this too because it's a normal thing, like I can be somewhere with someone and i'd just randomly be like "omg my hair looks greasy" or "omg my forehead is huge" or i'd be on the phone and just randomly say "ew I sound like shit,"Why am I even saying those things? 1/literally no one care 2/it's damaging to yourself 3/it's not only damaging to yourself because if you're saying "omg i hate my body" to someone then it makes them thing: well if she thinks her body is ugly then mine must be really ugly If you keep saying negative thinks about your self then wether you know it or not you're gonna start believing those things and that is so unhealthy and is the cause of depression in a lot of cases. Another thing I wanted to talk about; Never sell yourself short as a person. Especially to boys because thats a very common thing among girls. We think a boy I really cute and we really want him to like us. So we change the way we act and the way we dress and just the way to look just to have him like us. Which is really sad. Because why would you want anyone to like you for any other reason than you being you? It’s a silly think to think about but is actually more common than you think it isz You shouldn’t sell yourself short to anyone. Maybe you have a lot of toxic people around you that you can’t be your self around. Or make you feel like you need to compromise your standards to “fit in” or whatever. And you know what? No one needs to fit in anywhere. We all need accept each other the way we are. You shouldn’t let anyone try to change you or make you become someone else... just so you can “hang out”. No. Cause you’re an amazing person already and a lot of other people would love to be your friend. Love yourself to be loved. Respect yourself to be respected. Appreciate yourself to be appreciated. You’re beautiful, smart. Awesome, sexy and freaking amazing. Embrace yourself.
