A lot tbh.

Like my hair, my body, voice, my writing…

Yeah I’d say my body because I’m not fit so I feel uncomfortable working out

I wish my voice sounded better, my teeth could be straighter, I wish I was a little bit shorter and much more fit. :thinking: I also wish I didn’t eat so much sugar.

Insecurities are normal, so even at my age I have them. But they matter less to me now. Where I used to have a loud voice in my head pointing out every little flaw (every pimple, extra pound, every stupid thing I’d say and replay back in my mind), now it’s gotten much quieter and less persistent. When it comes back, I try to focus on things I like about myself (my sense of humor, my compassion, my sense of adventure) and that helps me not care as much for the little or unchangeable things.

I also do try to change what I can but instead of with the goal of “get less fat” or something negative, I try to think about how much better I feel when I feel strong and can see progress in what I can do, not so much how I look.

Also, comparing myself to others really can bring out my insecurities, so I really try not to do that…

My hair because it’s neither curly nor straight. Sometimes it takes forever just to get it to look right.
For a long time, I was very insecure about my height… mainly because my ex used to talk about tall women all the time and he made me feel as if I weren’t good enough because I’m short. (Thank God he’s totally out of my life now) Although I do wish I was a little taller, I’m not as obsessed about it as I used to be.

I think that even if you can confidently say that you love your body, everybody will have one insecurity, however big or small. And it’s sad because even though they are normal, people exploit those insecurities and bring you down, and some even shame you for having insecurities in the first place. It’s ok to have insecurities, but what should be avoided is hating yourself for it, and the way to do that isn’t to shame people with insecurities- if anything, that makes it way worse- it’s to help them out and let them know that they’re beautiful inside out.

I have a lot of insecurities. My body, my hair, my teeth, my eyes. I mean, I basically hate the entirety of myself, including my mindset etc. It probably appears super controversial after the speech I just gave :sweat:

Yes.

Compared to a few years ago, I’m much less insecure now. I still have some insecurities, but I find that focusing on the good things about yourself helps. :white_heart:

When someone tries to make you feel insecure, it’s probably because they’re insecure inside.

I still do have insecurities, and I think they’ll always be there. I just have to manage them and not let em control me.
