When I was younger I didn 't know too much about self love and what it really meant. For as long as I could remember I was always the heavier set girl with the gap. I was the funny girl, the friend to all the guys. I was raised by my dad and brother, now don 't get me wrong my mother was in my life but she missed my first homecoming , my first crush , even my first period. I did not realize until I was a little older how much not having a woman around would and could even affect me.Without her being there I didn’t know how to value myself. Now at 23 I am just starting to get a grasp on what self love and confidence is. I would say that I really started to struggle with self confidence when I got to high school. When I was in middle school, I had a blast, but once I entered high school everything changed. I went into it thinking these friendships would last forever. Boy, was I wrong. I thought these years turn those friendships I had into the sisters I never had. All it did was give me false ideas of self esteem and depression. I would go to school daily and walk down the hall with some of the prettiest, most popular girls and guys of each grade, wishing I was them. High school made me feel like because I wasn 't skinny with a perfect smile and the nicest clothes I wasn 't pretty. Guys would always go for my friends who were smaller than me , didn 't have a gap , or wild hair. While in high school I begin to develop insecurities about my weight and smile.I started to let
A person with a strong sense of self esteem will have a more positive outlook on life and will be strong enough to handle difficult situations through life.
I will be visiting Raleigh in late August; a few potential matches may still be interested in correspondence.
“Love yourself, girl, or nobody will.” Self-love is a struggle for most no matter if a girl or boy. We have to learn to appreciate about
I, Moin Ahmed and my spouse Ismat Ara, continuing our married life since August 22, 2014. I have been working in a prestigious university, as a Lecture since April 8, 2012, and getting a lump sum salary. My organization already provided me No Objection Certificate which is attached with this application and there it is mentioned that, my institution will have no objection if I go abroad to reunite with my spouse, and I will get leave of absence and will be able to join in the same organization after coming back in my country. This NOC is giving me the opportunity to apply for this visa and accompany my wife in her hard times when she is struggling to cope up with a new culture and new environment.
feelings and thoughts fueled my low confidence. People say if you fake it enough, it eventually becomes like second skin. I decided to fake confidence. I continued my bubbly facade. I looked in the mirror and repeated to myself that I’m allowed to love myself.
I have no other option, but to write this humble request. I am going through challenging times, and respectfully ask for help. The reason behind this charitable request is the growing cost of healthcare expenses which includes a needed hernia surgery and owed dental bills.
To have a positive outlook on life we all have to gain confidence physically and mentally. We can attain self-confidence overtime; we need it in order to be successful in life. Although, it is difficult in our society to attain high level self-esteem due to picture perfect images, plastic surgery, and surreal role models. Low self-esteem is not only in women it is in men; everyone has some sort of low self-esteem because as humans none of us are perfect.
I’d shrunk from a waist of 36 to a 32 and sprouted from 5’4 in height to 5’10 which was taller than most boys in my grade. I still wasn't ripped like the Hollister models, but I began to grow in self-confidence which was the importance of the my journey through school . I began to care less about what others possessed that I didn't and spent more time appreciating what I naturally had all along. I can't swim, but I'm a good long distance runner. I’m not the best athlete, but I have a 4.0 GPA. Also I don't have the most expensive material to wear, but I have a keen sense of fashion that sets trends from the simplicity of thrift stores. I suppose my newly discovered confidence proved to be a success, because shortly after my realization a nice young lady felt compelled to be my girlfriend. After some sessions of texting, it became an offer I couldn't decline. In the midst of understanding myself, I began to think of the quote my grandmother use to recite by Malcolm S. Forbes which stated,“Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.” when I decided to place less value upon what I wasn't and appreciate what I was. I found out I wasn't missing anything all
Self confidence is the foundation of success, achievement, and happiness. Unfortunately, the foundation of self confidence can become shaky and unstable if someone that you look up to as a role model hurts your self esteem and courage. One of the biggest role models in my life used to be my first club soccer coach. He seemed brilliant, passionate, and willing to work with my team. This man soon became the complete opposite of what I hoped he would be. I soon realized that he was a two faced liar and one of the most awful people I have ever met. Little did my ten year old self know he would be the downfall of my self confidence and he would slowly destroy any passion I had for the sport I loved all with only a few words.
This definitely showed in my social life; I was a social butterfly. When I transitioned into middle school, I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. They would tell me we were best friends then spread rumors around about me. They would tell me, sweet as they could be, how ugly and how dumb i was. Without thought, I started to internalize it. Only during my ninth grade year, when i was meeting new people did i realize how horrible they were for me. I stopped hanging out with them, but i never stopped my feelings about myself. I always had immense anxiety that other people saw these unforgivable flaws in me, too. I felt these feelings were a sign of weakness, a sign that I didn't have confidence. I thought these feelings were something i should be ashamed of. I became an expert at hiding my emotions, and I was so excited, yet surprised when i had my first real boyfriend. For once, I told somebody how i was feeling; he told me it was okay, that he still liked me. That was shocking to me. We went along fine for a while, walked home every day together, until the middle of 10th grade. I saw how he was looking at other girls and doing things for them he had never done for me. My insecurities flared and I fell into a deep darkness, depression. I clung to him, I didn't want to lose the one person that said my flaws weren't that bad. I started acting hysterical, desperate,
You and only you are responsible for your fate. Life is no fun if you spend it hating yourself; this stifles any progress you hope to make. Once your confidence is up, you will stop making the terrible mistake of comparing yourself to others. You will already be comfortable and happy with who you are.
Every story has a beginning … This is the beginning of a little girl who would not accept herself because she did not look like every other little girl, that girl was me. Growing up I was always the big girl, the girl that was heavier and just bigger than every other girl. Knowing that I did not look like every other girl in my classroom growing up, it hurt. Knowing boys liked them and not me hurt even more. Looking back at it now what hurts me the most was what I did in order to be “liked”. Confusing love with lust was what made me feel beautiful. Being a 14 year old girl being told she’s beautiful, sexy, and simply perfect for the first time is actually dangerous. When you are told those things and yourself does not believe them, you start to need those compliments, they help you get by. But receiving those compliments comes with a price. There is no sugarcoating this, when I was younger and clueless the one way I felt pretty was by getting compliments. The ones giving the compliments
Self-acceptance is an extremely prevalent issue that numerous people struggle with. It is one of the hardest to surmount, for it is something I still struggle with to this day. Overall, my journey is a working progress as it will perpetuate to have its downfalls to test me. Like many of my generation, social media has played an excessively paramount role in our lives, both negatively and positively. Sources of harmless entertainment have also unintentionally encouraged self-judgment. Be that as it may, my perspective has been widely opened unexpectedly through a speaker’s presentation as she showed us how to recognize our self-worth. Confidence and self-esteem are hard to acquire for some, but it should not be a quantity you divest yourself of. Self-acceptance of all insecurities and doubts is paramount since every individual has a unique beauty that should be cherished in order to pursue a life full of love and jubilance.
Insecurity drills a hole into a person’s heart, minimizes their integrity, and accumulates as plaque build up, hindering any kind of future growth. Just as any human being’s growth is stifled by the insecurity within them, the United States as a whole suffers the same from its own tremendous amount of insecurity. This lack of acknowledgement of self-worth causes a ghastly chain reaction; people tend to pursue the wrong ideals, become corrupt, and inevitably lead themselves to their own demise. Insecurity is a route to destruction, and America is speeding down that road to dissolution.
Self- love. How is it done? One of the hardest things to do as a female in today's society is love yourself. Popular forms of media, such as Instagram, have been creating these unrealistic beauty standards that most can't achieve. From skinny physiques to curvy physiques, everyone is fighting to achieve a definition of beauty that ultimately doesn't exist.
