having confidence is very hard while having social media. social media probably is the reason why you feel down most of the time.
you're probably jealous of all the pretty girls on your instagram, twitter or snapchat. you probably think that you'll never be like them, and yes that's true. you are yourself and you need to accept yourself for who you are.
if you look at those models, don't degrade yourself by saying 'i'll never be as pretty as them,' or 'i'm so ugly compared to them.' you can use them as a motivational guide. if they have clear skin and you don't, tell yourself 'i'm going to have clear skin so i can feel better about myself,' or if they have your ideal body type say 'i'll keep a healthy diet and eat healthily to feel happy about myself,' and please don't starve yourself. starving yourself can lead to serious problems and your health can get worse.
if the tip above doesn't work you need to unfollow all of those pretty girls. start looking at yourself in the mirror and look at your favourite features. at first you might not have a favourite feature, but think what people compliment you about the most. if people don't compliment you, you can choose a part by yourself.
look at that part in the mirror for about 10 minutes and you'll slowly start to realise that it is beautiful. for example, if it's your eyes, brown eyes especially, don't think it's an ugly colour. brown eyes look really pretty in the sunlight, golden and yellow rays. your eyes look, majestic and definitely breathtaking so don't wish for blue/green eyes because your brown eyes are beautiful. but i'm not saying lighter eyes are ugly, they're also very pretty, don't misunderstand me please.
if you want confidence in your hands, think about the advantages about long/short fingers. for long fingers, you can play many instruments e.g guitar, piano, harp etc. this can also help you have a new hobby. for short fingers, i mean they're so adorable???? so rock your short fingers because they are your charm.
i cant name more body parts but if you'd want more advice you can dm me and i can think of a way to improve your confidence.
i've realised that a lot of people are insecure about their voices. whether it's a deep voice, or a high one, it's still unique because it's your voice. if someone insults or mocks your voice, think about the fact that you are the only person that owns that voice, and you should be proud that you have it.
i hope some of these statements will help you! if you're not confident in something that i didn't mention, you can dm me, don't be scared i don't bite.
