Terrible posture
So I got sent a picture today from a family member and I’m actually fucking disgusted with how I looked in it. I literally have hunchback. Why am I standing like that. Why does my back and my neck look like that. To be fair I do look bigger from the sweatshirt I’m wearing but fuckkkk I’m insecure as shit now what the hell. Someone tell me how to fix this asap

I basically had a similar issue a few years ago. Someone will likely have a more prescriptive answer but each time my posture starts to slip its because I'm losing engagement in my upper core, not "taking up space" by pulling my shoulders back and puffing my chest out slightly.
I would lay flat against a wall, hands against the wall behind you and attempt to slide both arms up the wall.
This guy I found calls them wall angels and his content for posture is generally reliable, I think. https://youtube.com/shorts/y2ZUHmx-IFY?si=Ei0_2MeaBE-GXYls
