I feel this helps me build a bit more confidence because at times i am too hard on myself. I also would like to encourage you all to write what you like about yourself be it looks , brains , personality etc. Feel free to list anything you like about yourself.
1. Facial features
I don't like all of my facial features completely , but i do like most of them. So nose (love/hate relationship honestly), cheekbones, lips, jawline(also love/hate), eyebrows and eyes. If i had to pick a favourite i would choose eyes. I dislike the rest but i do not want to write anything negative so i won't get into that. People tell me i have an alright/pretty-ish face but i don't put in any effort. Some people tell me I'm ugly and other tell me I'm average. To me i think my face is not attractive or anything, just bland/meh/kinda not female looking or attractive. But i don't mind i guess.
2. Body
I have struggled to like and accept my body for a very long time. People either praised or made fun of my body. However lots of people explained to me that those who hated on me did it out of jealousy. Which when i think about the people who told me my body was ugly , they all had the complete opposite of what i had(curvy, long legs , very defined waist ). I also had noticed they would try to hate on me as much as possible so the issue wasn't with my looks. Now i am trying my hardest to love my legs, my bum, my boobs and everything about my body. I workout to make it look even better so that i don't feel unhealthy. I am still not there with loving my body and curves. But i am trying.
3. My honesty
I am a straightforward person which tends to piss a lot of people off. I don't care to change this and actually like it a lot that i try my best to be as honest as i can be with myself and with other people.
Socially, it doesn't work well to be honest. But now i don't care for impressing people, i am not in this world to live my life the way other people want me to. I have tried too many times to change myself but i realized 'hey, i like myself. Why do others have to like me if i already like myself the way i am?with all my flaws, my body shape,my height,my face etc'.
4. My sense of style
I must say i got this from my mama lol. She has always been into fashion and art, even making her own clothes and trying them on. She herself had a very nice body and pretty much almost all the perfect physical body features (so wide hips, small waist, long legs, even a nice height). She taught me since very young how to mix and match my clothes and dress with class and be fashionable. I used to hate that she always bought me lots of clothes and very girly girl things, but now i don't mind having lots of clothes. Me and her still plan outfits together, or if we are out shopping she says 'that skirt with go well with that shirt you have!' And it really would turn out perfect! I don't enjoy shopping so having her there with me always helped.
5. My height
Pretty easy one for me to love. I am around 5'9. I love it. I mean what is there to hate? Most clothes look good on my body, curvy yet long legs and long arms so they don't look stubby/flabby, i still have small hands and feet for my height , attracted only taller guys, i look skinny even though i am not. At times i did feel bad about it, but only because other people told me it was bad and i believed them like an idiot. Tall or short, both have their appeal and beauty, advantages and disadvantages. Work with what you have and love it till the end because it is your own body , it isn't going to go away or change just because you hate it. Plus i like feeling strong and being tall is a good thing in sports!
6. Working out
My father loves to go on long walk and to get as much exercise as possible. I learned this from him and i must say i love working out. Going on walks. Running. Lifting heavy things. I love love love feeling physically strong after a workout and flexing all my muscles all proud and everything haha. Honestly exercise is like a fun hobby to me , without it i start to feel sluggish and depressed. In general i love feeling like a strong super human who can do anything haha.
Hope this was an enjoyable take!
