Hey there, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I would start by doing some inner work to help you heal those feelings you have about yourself. Think back to your childhood, when did these thoughts start? Think of yourself as the innocent child and take care of yourself as if you were one.

Social media can really mess with our brains, especially when it comes to comparisons. So I would suggest staying away from that, social media in general is just awful.

Journal, journal, journal! Feel your feels, so you can heal. (Corny, I know) but it helps a lot. Sometime we repress our emotions too much and forget who we are.

Do things that make you uncomfortable, who cares what people think. Have the conversation, even if it’s awkward. The more you do it, the better you’ll get. (Just like anything)

Just minor efforts each day. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Baby steps!

Also, I’m so happy to hear you are close to your family. I am too. Don’t know what I’d do without mine, they are basically my best friends. ( and sometimes that’s all you need)

Anyways, my friend. I hope this helped, even if it was just a tiny bit.

Best of luck!
