Overcoming self-esteem issues

ScottGambit February 16th

I have stuggled with self-esteem my whole life and have never felt comfortable with how I look. I started going to therapy a couple months and my therapist has been really helping me with this. Today I took my first selfie in almost 10 years, I made it my profile picture even though I know most people don't do that here. I made it my profile picture because I want to be proud of what I look like and I dont want to hide anymore. I know I have my flaws but I am starting to see my strengths and be comfortable with who I am. I know it's just 1 picture but it is a big deal for me and I am proud to be taking this step, even if it is small. I don't know if anyone will care about this but I just wanted to share :) I hope everyone is happy and comfortable with who they are

Dear Scott, I took a long breathe when you mentioned that this was your first selfie in almost 10 years. I can only imagine years of days spent in turmoil amid sharp self-judgments. I congratulate you for your constant attempts to face your discomforts and making one step at a time to come so far. Wishing you all the best.
