Do you ever get anxious about your appearance and how you present yourself to people? :/ I always feel like I'm ugly or I have dirt somewhere on my face or there's something funny about me when I'm being talked to in a serious manner. I HATE IT.

Yes. I'm insecure... But I was even more insecure before. I'm working on it.

Yes. I'm very insecure about my face and my general appearance, especially my weight.

Yes,but it depends where im going

They keep saying, "Focus on your good qualities and ignore the bad," but that's really hard to do when even you, yourself don't even see the potential.

Dear, don't be. There's plenty of things you can do to manage your weight, if not completely lose it. Good luck. What you really need right now is motivation.

I don't really understand it when people quote avatars. What does that mean?

That's how I used to feel like two years ago. Now, I honestly just have zero ****s to give. I've learned to embrace every part of my body/appearance and I'm just happy with how I look. It is what it is.

I still have days where I feel like **** but those come by every once in a while. Just learn to love yourself and be okay with not being able to change some things

Yes and it's okay but I try not to dwell on it. Everyone is allowed a down day every once in a while.

Every single time I log in to Instagram. I love it. My severe body dysmorphia motivates me to train harder.

For some reason, the last part of this comment really touched me. Thank you!

That's what i'm aiming for too; that IDGAF attitude cause right now my self esteem sometimes is just

Yes, I like looking good and, like Ariana, I have a favorite side I tend to show more.

I'm the same, except the motivation soon dies out and nothing ever happens.
