How do I find my body beautiful? Hearing my family members or my friends say they want my body or say I’m beautiful does absolutely nothing for me. I don’t feel anything when they say it. And I hate being a burden I don’t want them to have to repeat and repeat. But I’m so confused like I genuinely think my body and my face are hideous. I cannot look in the mirror without full on crying, I can’t take a picture every time I see a phone out I hide myself, I hate speaking my voice is just as ugly as the rest of me. How can I make it stop? I’m the one telling myself this; I think it’s true. I’m so sad.

I have the exact same thoughts, I’m so sorry you have to deal with them too. Loving ourselves is hard, sometimes just too hard. Something I like to practice that may be helpful is called “body neutrality”. Maybe you don’t think you have the prettiest face or the nicest body, but you recognize how well it’s served you. I wish I could say how to make it go away but I’m not there yet myself. Take baby steps. Find one thing you like about your face or your body and try to focus on it. I know this may not help right now, but I promise you that you’re a beautiful person, inside and out ❤️
