I think most of my insecurities come from comparing myself to people on social media. I know it’s not real, but seeing perfect skin, perfect bodies, perfect lives—it makes me feel like I’m not enough. I’m trying to remind myself that everyone’s just showing the best parts of their lives, not the whole picture.

Mine started in middle school. I was bullied for being too quiet and for how I looked. Even now, I still hear those voices in my head sometimes. I’m learning to replace them with kinder thoughts, but it’s hard.

I feel insecure about my acne. Even when people say it’s normal, I feel like everyone’s looking at my face and judging me. I try to act confident, but inside, I feel really self-conscious.
