One of the key areas I’m focusing on right now is my self-confidence, which I must admit is quite low. Despite this, I take pride in owning who I am and embracing my individuality. I’ve come to realize that I don’t fit into the conventional “social norm,” and I doubt that I ever will.
It's important to acknowledge that we all have our own insecurities and hang-ups. In my case, I sometimes find that browsing TC can exacerbate those feelings, rather than alleviate them. It’s absolutely ridiculous that society often imposes unrealistic standards on us, making so many of us feel “not up to standard” in various aspects of our lives.
Even when someone offers a compliment, like telling me I look good, I can’t help but focus on my perceived flaws—the lumps, bumps, and imperfections that stand out to me. It’s a constant internal struggle, where my self-criticism often overshadows others’ positive perceptions.
I recognize that this is something I need to work on—cultivating a more positive self-image and learning to appreciate myself more fully. It's a journey, but I'm committed to embracing who I am, imperfections and all, and finding ways to boost my self-esteem along the way.
