*HOW YOUR LOW SELF ESTEEM CAN AFFECT YOU" (a thread)
7 years down the lane and i was so insecure that back then, when i saw everyone doing it, i changed my name to & #39;princess nargis& #39; on Facebook. a girl rolled her eyes at me "you really feel so, shaqal dekhi hai apni& #39;& #39;(1/10)
7 years down the lane and i was so insecure that back then, when i saw everyone doing it, i changed my name to & #39;princess nargis& #39; on Facebook. a girl rolled her eyes at me "you really feel so, shaqal dekhi hai apni& #39;& #39;(1/10)
& when i asked the same, her reply was "ofc, look at me. the same night, i cried (lol
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">) & removed my Facebook account. i was good in academics/Co_curriculars, not kidding, i was extremely confident about everything but not how i looked.(2/10)
a bit weird but all my friends had slimmer lips & i thought it& #39;s inappropriate to have them as i had. a girl told me once, "ewww, you look like a billi with kajal& #39;& #39; and i never used it for years.(3/10)
my form teacher in class 10 once said "nargis, hanste huay achi lagti ho,keep smiling" i practiced the same in mirror for weeks because I believed I am ugly & compliments are not for me. unknowingly, I was seeking validation on my looks from people who didn& #39;t matter.(4/10)
when my school crush proposed my best friend & they started dating, i felt a solid comment on my appearance again. i feared losing people, sacrificed my peace just to please my friends because i thought i won& #39;t get friends.(5/10)
while i took music professionally,i got more invested in the art & all other things got a backseat.meeting a lot of new artistes, getting along weird people & i started accepting myself. mom& #39;s death helped me cope up with & #39;it& #39;s okay to lose people if they are not worth it& #39;s(6/10)
now i& #39;m at the point of my life where i feel I& #39;m beautiful & ugly sometimes. everybody is. compliments make me happy ofc(human nature) but even if someone comes to tell me & #39;you& #39;re ugly& #39; I& #39;d rather agree nd laugh because why care? who to please & what for? why? (7/10)
I even sometimes get obsessed with myself on the mirror & sometimes laugh at myself. to everyone out there, I wanna say, you don& #39;t need a definition, you& #39;re you & let your self be. also, it& #39;s okay to tell someone they are beautiful/cute etc if you feel they are so but(8/10)
it& #39;s not okay to call someone ugly even if you feel they are. you feel someone is ugly, just keep it to your self. you don& #39;t know the battles people are fighting within themselves. everybody isn& #39;t lucky to experience life events, to realize his/her worth on their own.(9/10)
there are people who live with that one bad comment you made on their appearance, all their lives. good faces don& #39;t make this world a better place, good minds and hearts do. please chill out & keep your toxicity to yourself only. live and let live. (10/10)
