I notice my anxiety when I start avoiding people or places. I used to think I was just being cautious, but it turns out it’s a sign of my anxiety acting up.
One of the best things about therapy has been realizing that I’m not alone. Hearing my therapist validate my experiences has given me a new perspective on my struggles.
I found it helpful to be patient and give myself time to adjust. Making friends can take a little while, but staying open to new experiences makes it easier.
For me, healthy friendships are about celebrating each other’s successes. I always cheer my friends on, and they do the same for me. It creates a positive, supportive environment.
I realized I was in a toxic friendship when I started to dread hanging out. Instead of feeling excited, I felt anxious. I learned it was okay to prioritize my well-being and ended the friendship.
I choose friends who make me feel comfortable being myself. When you surround yourself with the right people, there’s less pressure to change or pretend.
I enjoy using apps to manage my time better. I can see when I have breaks or downtime, which helps me plan spontaneous hangouts without stressing about schoolwork.
Whenever I feel down about my body, I remind myself that everyone is different, and that’s what makes us beautiful. It’s not easy, but focusing on health and happiness helps more than I expected.
Seeing edited photos can really mess with my self-esteem. I started following more body-positive influencers who show real, unfiltered images, and it’s been such a relief. It reminds me that we’re all unique and beauty isn’t just one standard.
I had a falling out with a close friend because of a miscommunication. It felt like such a big deal at the time, but looking back, I wish I had been more patient. Sometimes we expect our friends to always know how we feel, but it’s important to actually tell them.
I struggled with confidence because I felt like I wasn’t living up to society’s expectations. But I’ve come to understand that confidence isn’t about pleasing others. It’s about finding joy in who you are and accepting that you’re enough, just as you are.
I always include a brief summary at the top of my resume, explaining who I am and what I’m looking for. For my cover letter, I write about specific achievements that relate to the job, making sure to express how I can contribute to the company’s success.
My passion for makeup turned into a business when I started offering makeup services for friends and family at events. The more I practiced, the more I improved, and now I’m getting booked for weddings and proms! It’s been an exciting journey.
The pressure to be online all the time is real. I feel guilty if I don’t respond to messages quickly or if I miss a notification. But it’s affecting my sleep and my peace of mind. How do you set boundaries with social media?
I used to be so afraid of making mistakes, and that held me back from trying new things. But now I understand that mistakes are part of growth. I’m still working on my confidence, but I’m getting better at trusting myself. What helps you push through fear?
