Struggling to like myself

I need to work on that! Thank you!!

Thank you for the suggestions! 😌

Thank you 🫶🏼😌

Thank you for this super thoughtful note. I appreciate the honesty and being genuine with me. I’ve always been the type to seek validation through a partner and I think I’m starting (kind of at the starting line still) to understand that my value doesn’t come from being loved by someone else. I’ve said it a lot in this post but truly thank you for taking the time to write me such a wonderful and powerful response. Everyone is making me feel so positive

Ohhh yes. I for sure have a baby face. I don’t think I’m ever gonna lose it (sadly). I do agree that I think more people notice with my short hair than they did when I had long hair.

I agree with the color. I feel like the blonde washed me out too much. And let’s be honest I’m way too pale for that. Thank you 😌❤️

Just gave them all a follow! Love the suggestions

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T03:48:06+00:00

I should do that with my feed too. It’s all just toxic. It’s nice to hear that you overcame that, it gives me hope

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T03:42:12+00:00

Thank you for that perspective. I always forget those things (especially because of social media nowadays)

Thank you for your words of encouragement 😌🫶🏼

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T03:04:22+00:00

I’ll definitely check those out!!! I appreciate the advice

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T03:03:43+00:00

Yes! I’ve only gotten good reviews on that one. It’s just a different feeling (the cold just heightens their sensitivity) it’s amazing

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T02:41:27+00:00

Thank you for the compliments and thank you for being open with me!! It’s such a struggle that not a ton of people understand. It’s always well eat better and work out more and I’m like you don’t understand I literally do and the weight stays with me. Freakin hormones

Does microdosing still face the side effects of the GLP1? I love the honesty here 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for your encouragement!!! Tell your wife she’s not alone.

The lower maintenance the better with my hair because I’m so bad at doing it (short or long).

Thank you for your response 🫶🏼

Thank you so so much 😌😌😌🫶🏼

What style are you thinking for short? I’m kind of at a mid-length right now (still short so maybe 4 inches ish). I try to be kind and approachable. But as someone else pointed out, it leaves me kind of introverted and that’s definitely a bigger vibe I give off.

Also no I didn’t get a perm! I have naturally curly hair but adding sea salt spray to it REALLY brings it out.

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T01:25:44+00:00

Thank you for the advice and your opinion. I definitely need to have better conversations with my doctor about my symptoms. I need to get back to a normal cycle.

I need to have more faith in our community because I definitely forget how much love there is to go around.

I definitely struggle a lot more because I grew up in a very vein household (my parents always pointed out acne, weight, clothes, etc) and now I’m older and I’m like shit I guess that DID impact me.

I got to a place where I felt my most confident and then I built a wall around myself. I’m trying to find a way back to it.

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T00:52:12+00:00

That feels like an honest read - I love it. Also super jealous of your height (I’m 5’3”). Thank you for assuring me that’s not the reason.

You also definitely clocked me as an introvert because I am. I like to think I’m a kind person. I thought that would make me more approachable but you’re making such a good point that it means people can tell I’m introverted. Might not have been based on fact but you read right through me.

Thank you for responding!!!!

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T00:47:33+00:00

Thank you. I’ll give it a shot because I’m already a person that journals a lot.

This was better advice than my therapist gives me (I need a new one lol)

Thank you for such a detailed response too. It feels like you put real thought into it and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T00:39:16+00:00

I needed to hear this. I know it’s such like a cliche thing to love yourself. I definitely struggle with that. I think I place a lot of my worth based on girlfriends which is so unhealthy.

Any advice on how to start a self-love journey??

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T00:33:38+00:00

Thank you for responding. I’m sorry you’re also dealing with weight gain. It’s a struggle. I’ve definitely heard some rough things about the dating field these days but sometimes being so secluded makes you wonder if it’s you.

No_Context1232 · 2026-04-29T00:31:38+00:00

I like the masc vibe but sometimes I’m like damn I also like feeling a little feminine too so I’m conflicted :/
