You are entitled to your feelings, I understand completely. When I was a child I always noticed my front teeth were slightly large and everyone else noticed too. I had the misfortune of having a remote thrown at my face as a kid and both my front teeth were knocked out. I was mortified to open my mouth and when they grew back they overlapped and pushed forward because I had impacted wisdom teeth. No matter who said that I looked fine I knew they were only trying to make me feel better because they loved me but the same can’t be said for strangers who had no problem being assholes(bucktooth beaver was a popular one) I was not happy until I finally got my teeth straightened as an adult but even now when I smile it feels unnatural. I think what you think about yourself is what you should consider, if you don’t like what you see and have the means to fix it, I say go for it! Looking at yourself and feeling good about what you see is something that some people take for granted but I know what it’s like to avoid mirrors or my reflection in glass. You know that feeling too. Do what will give you your confidence back and good luck in whatever you decide
Honestly everyone has insecurities deep down you just have to embrace them.. I’ve struggled so much with my acne scars face shape.., But this year I’ve just been letting it go. You will look back on it when your older and wonder why you’ve wasted so many years feeling insecure.. you’ve probably heard this many times but being confident is what really helps you will start seeing your self differently people will start seeing you differently.. Yes getting surgery can help, but also loving your self really does matter.. start believing that embrace it every time you look in the mirror.. Just let all these thought go… being unique and not looking like everyone else isn’t a bad thing it just means god took his time building you .
I wish the best for youヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I promise you you don’t look as bad to people as you think you do. People tend to think that other people notice what they’re insecure about when they really don’t. Most times you’re just overthinking it. Also, everything that you said you’re insecure about is normal. You don’t have to worry about those things, especially acne scars because everyone around that age will get them eventually and they will eventually get better (I recommend using Cerave or washing your face with the dove sensitive body bar those work amazing on your skin). Another thing that you probably didn’t realize is that things change when you get older. Your high school life won’t be the same as college or when you’re an adult working in society. In high school you try to fit in because they’re the only people you’re around and you wanna feel like you belong with the people you see everyday. When you’re older you start to care less since you see people less often and you find out your insecurities are actually what people find attractive. Overall, things get better when you get older and get to be around more people instead of just staying stuck in the same place where you see the same people everyday. Be more confident! Things will get better soon!
i've been insecure of my nose since i was 10 i think, and for the longest time i would always tell myself the same "everyone has beautiful noses, my nose is nothing to be ashamed of," but i really did break down the other day over it. i mean i'm not surprised i did; if i cry over my looks, 50% of the time it's bc of my nose. like a month or two ago i looked at myself in the mirror and said to myself that i WILL get a nose job when i get the money and moments after i said that to myself i felt way better. i felt like by telling myself that my nose was pretty i was lying to myself. now that i told myself that i will get a nose job, i don't cry over my nose as often. the thing is, my nose isn't an "ethnic nose" or whatever. the bridge straight-ish but from the front it's asymmetric asf and i have a bulbous, pretty big nose, so it's not the type to be in those "tiktok nose appreciation" slides. i do have a nose piercing and i love it sm but i rlly fucking hate my nose. it ruins my smile. my best feature is my eyes and my worst is my nose, and when i smile my nose gets bigger and my eyes smaller. it's really not fair. am i young? is that the problem? i am 2009 so idk. i've been insecure abt every single feature i have, even if i've been told that they're "pretty". my biggest are 1. nose, 2. hair, 3. facial/body hair (im indian), 4. face shape, 5. hip dips, 6. acne + acne scars, 7. eyes (they're asymmetric), 8. lips (again asymmetric), and the list will probably never end. i rlly don't know anymore. i never usually spiral over my insecurities like this but i've been rlly unstable lately. pls tell me if i'm valid or your experiences with this sort of thing, i just need other perspectives with these types of insecurities.
