Earlier this week, I wrote about how we should change how we see ourselves in order to be more confident in how we look. That sort of change had been a struggle for me when I was growing up, and from time to time it still is.
It’s hard to feel good about yourself when all your friends are complimented on how pretty they are, or how cute they are, while you’re just ignored or called ugly behind your back. People can be cruel without realizing they’re being like that, and it’s never easy to change how you look at yourself when 30 other people seem to disagree.
And it’s something I’m determined to overcome. I keep trying not to care, because I know that even if I were considered the most beautiful person in the world or something like that, I’d still feel bad about myself if I didn’t see myself at least in a similar way.
