I used to feel bad about myself whenever I saw perfect bodies online. Then I realized that these images are often edited. Now, I focus on accounts that promote self-love, which helps me feel better about my own body.

Social media can be harsh on your self-esteem, especially when it feels like everyone looks perfect. I try to remind myself that my worth isn’t based on appearance and focus on my achievements and the things I love about myself.

It’s easy to feel insecure when everyone online seems to have the ‘perfect’ body. I’ve learned to focus on what makes me unique. By appreciating my individuality, I’ve become more confident and less affected by social media.

I struggled a lot with body comparisons on social media, but taking breaks has been a game-changer for my mental health. I also remind myself that everyone’s body is different, and there’s no one definition of beauty.

I used to compare myself constantly to people on social media, but now I focus on what makes me happy. Doing things I enjoy and being kind to myself has helped me shift my focus away from appearance and toward self-acceptance.
