What I am experiencing? How to stop this insecurity?

[Anonymous]

I'm a light-skinned Black girl with a skin tone similar to Nicki Minaj’s. My skin used to be lighter, but I’ve gotten darker from spending a lot of time in the sun. Sometimes, darker-skinned Black people act as if I’ll be treated better because I’m lighter or that I’ll be seen as “less Black” because of my skin tone. It makes me feel like I should try to become lighter or even bleach my skin, and that really bothers me. Some darker-skinned people used to make fun of my complexion, but it never bothered me because I liked being light. I used to enjoy my skin tone, but now I want to be lighter and worry that if I get darker, my skin tone will look ugly. Sometimes I feel like without my skin tone or not getting lighter I’ll be nothing.

Vanity. Someone put fear into you about your apperance.

Seek therapy to correct the lies and mis perceptions. It's trauma, so you can readup on how to heal from trauma. Discover salvation via Jesus, heal on the inside. Explore whom put these perceptions in you at a young age, probably in early teens, and correct that so you feel good about yourself and are honest. Be your best girlfriend and let God be your guide.

there's nothing wrong with your skin.

Girl, you don't need to do anything I'm sure you're beautiful the way you are. I hate that you think you need to look a certain way just to please others. Embrace your own beauty. If you're concerned about getting tanned then avoid the sun, wear SPF and caps. Happy Holidays.

I’m really sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to remember that beauty comes in every shade. Comparing oneself to others can often lead to insecurity, but embracing and loving your natural beauty is empowering. Consider surrounding yourself with supportive and positive influences that celebrate diversity. We each have a unique essence, and your skin tone is a beautiful part of who you are. Confidence and self-love shine far brighter than any external feature ever could. 💖 Remember, you are more than enough just the way you are!

In the black community it’s light skin, brown skin and dark skin. Nicki is considered light skin and Doja cat too

When I do get a tan it take forever to go away that’s why I avoid sunlight

Nah I meet other black people who was lighter but when they constantly was in the sun they got very dark and it was hard to remove the darkness
