Negative thoughts about how I look :(

ChikaCheetah April 17th, 2020

Before I go out I always worry about what people will think of my clothes. I always had this problem but years ago I didn't care, but as I get older these thoughts have gotten worse.

I have low self esteem when it comes to my body and appearance. I love fashion and looking good. Some days I just want to wear what I want but I fear that people will mock me and my day will be ruined. I don't want to seek validation from nobody but unfortunately when I don't get attention I feel like no guy will ever like me. I'm so used to getting positive attention when I dress because people like my fashion sense. When I don't I get upset thinking I'm too skinny, I look like a child etc this is all from horrible comments made by some guys. I try and tell myself that no one cares they are caught up in their own selves. It's like I have a negative feedback loop in my head and I want it to stop and go back to how I was doing in the past.

Hi @ChikaCheetah

You've been so brave today, opening up like this ❀ I feel inspired. I'm sure many people are in the same position as you. I truly believe that you will soon learn not to care about what others think. This happened for me some time again 😊 Please focus on your own happiness πŸ™πŸ» I cannot stress how important this is.

I hope you're keeping well.
