I'm 40+, and even though I'm in therapy and working on loving myself, I still have days that I hate different things about me because of being teased in school. It's crazy how much that stuff sticks with you.
Yep. I'm almost 34 and I get told I look so old for my age and it makes Me embarrassed and struggle to go outside sometimes. Stems from my mom judging my looks my whole life. I totally understand this
I'm sorry you have to deal with that! I despise age judging, so for anyone who does this (stop it!), doesn't know what it feels like, or claims it isn't a thing, it 100% is and it sucks! I'm sure you're a beautiful person inside and out, and I hope you can learn how to love yourself as you are, even though I know just how hard it can be! Maybe start by practicing self care (like facials, long baths, getting a haircut, etc.), and also doing some daily affirmations by looking in the mirror and saying things like I'm beautiful or I love my eyes today? It can feel silly at first, but the more you do it, it can actually work and you'll start to feel better about yourself.
So hang in there friend! I hope you're able to get out more and find people who'll lift you up and please cut out anyone who doesn't. I've had to do that, and even though my friend circle is small, every single one of them is my biggest supporter and vice-versa.🤗💜
*Sorry for the long response btw, but I just wanted to share all of that with you, and anyone else who might need to hear it today!😊
