Society has always been a pain and it always will be. There's no denying that our society is very competitive. Everything seems like a competition from school to looks, to our accomplishments, our hobbies and whatnot. As a result, we're constantly compared to others or an "example" of others is set before us. It also brings a lot of unnecessary pressure to do better and ruins our self-esteem.
We get conscious of how we look or how we speak, we question our abilities and intelligence and start envying the people we're compared to. Often, it just makes us feel dumb. We're also judged for our body and often teased about it. We lose the zeal of participation because we know we're not going to win, then what's the point? The reason we use so much makeup, skincare products and filters on our photos is because we're conscious or insecure of our natural beauty. This is something everyone struggles with, and so do I.
I don't wear any makeup, but even I was insecure about my looks and my body. I used to seek out validation from others even that didn't make me feel better about myself. I envied my friends who I thought looked better than me. I stopped eating much started doubting myself. I used to think of myself as "not pretty" I knew I wasn't "ugly" but I didn't consider myself as "beautiful" either. Most of this was all in my head but anytime somebody commented on my looks it stuck with me, and made me feel more insecure. But at the end of the day, I realized how wrong I was and it's important you do too.
