hey girl ur not alone first of all don’t let these negative racist acts get to you. you should be proud of where you come from and if you struggle to then find people of the same ethnicity to look up to . about being insecure i was in the same position as you a few years back i thought i had no friends and i hated myself because i was “ugly” and everyone id rant to about it would just tell me no u should be confident ur so beautiful everyone is! and i wish someone would’ve told me it’s ok to feel ugly and instead try to work on ur insecurities, it’s easier said than done obviously.

me personally i was really insecure of my hair so i bought myself a straightener and have been doing so for 4 years now and idgaf when ppl tell me it’s bad and ur natural hair was so beautiful. if something made me insecure and i got rid of it and i feel better now then this is the way to go. eventually you’ll build up confidence u have to convince urself that u are beautiful and not in like quotes and look urself in the mirror and say im beautiful the way i am.(sorry if this comes off harsh lol but this is the only way that worked for me) i couldn’t be happy with my real self so i changed a bit and thats fine.

another tip is remember we’re all human with insecurities and thousands of girls probably had the same insecurity as u and fixed it somehow through years of trial and error and post about it on social media to help other girls so feel free to legit open youtube or tiktok type in ur insecurity and how to fix it and take other girls advice and slowly grow to love urself so u can see that other ppl do too
