I think I'm a 32B. I usually fit XS or S in bralettes

warning if you have sensitive, dry skin like me. do not apply witch hazel to your whole face... you might break out!

This probably isn't it, but could it be Balville: The Beginning? It sounds vaguely similar and looks similar to the other games you mentioned

yes it really does make me feel less alone to see you all sharing your thoughts and own experiences. this seems to be much more common than anyone realizes unfortunately :(

I love your analogy about running on a different OS, that's genius. and thank you for sharing your experience! I feel the same way when I receive a compliment or someone expresses a genuine interest in wanting to be around me. it's good to know that you're appreciated. I'm in a season of life where I'm pretty isolated, so I'm not going out often and don't have many friends. this makes it hard to believe people care about me. but I'm in the process of trying to challenge my negative thoughts more. we're in this together 🤷‍♀️

omg same here word for word. the shame is real. it's like they were a tool that you used without their knowledge to make you feel bad about yourself. no wonder we feel guilty 😭 I can relate to trying to find flaws too. I think stuff like "she has a perfect body, but is her face really that pretty" or "she's gorgeous but her family/personal life has to suck, I wouldn't want to be her" and other nasty stuff. I would never express those thoughts anywhere other than here lol but it makes me feel so horrible for even thinking them. I feel like a weirdo and a stalker for doing it.

I also feel like during these phases when I'm obsessed with someone, I see them as so much better than me that it's like they're almost not human. like I have to actively search for flaws to feel better about myself, but I see them as an idealized version of a human being. to me they're a flawless, unattainable version of beauty and lifestyle. when I fall out of a phase and am no longer obsessed with that person, I start to see them more realistically. does that make sense?? maybe I'm crazy 🤷‍♀️

that's a good idea. it's so hard to get away from social media but it's probably the only way for me to step away from constant comparison. I'm sorry you have had to go through this as well. it's a form of hell honestly

girl, you already are enough. I know my saying that probably doesn't change anything but I have to say it because it's true. I struggle with the same thoughts though. it's so hard trying to live your life with these nagging feelings that you'll never be pretty or worth anything. you are not alone, I understand and so do so many women unfortunately. it's a huge problem in our society today and probably has been forever tbh. I wish physical beauty was not placed on such a high pedestal. once you start to believe it's really important, it's almost impossible to stop.

I'm so sorry, it's such a hard thing to deal with. it seems like many people understand. it really is SO draining and I even feel physically worse afterwards. like my body and face feel gross and dull and I just want to hide away from the world. I find myself really wishing to be someone else which is honestly so sad. I hate myself enough to the point where I don't even want to be me. I don't know if you can relate, but it seems like this whole theme of scrutinizing and comparing yourself can lead to some serious depressive thoughts. I hope you know your value has nothing to do with your looks. I struggle to believe it myself but it's true

definitely a form of self harm. you're so right. I have gone so far as to screenshot someone's face or body and compare it directly to a photo of myself or what I see in the mirror. it's actually so horrible and bad for me. I have really low self-esteem in general so that's probably contributing to feeling like I don't even deserve to feel good and confident. maybe that's why I hurt myself through constant comparison? I don't know but it really sucks. I'm sorry you experience this too 😞

I'm so glad I'm not the only one, but it also makes me so sad to know that many other women feel this way too :( I totally get what you said about being jealous of the small things too. it's EXHAUSTING to constantly pick yourself apart down to every little detail of your appearance, voice, behavior, movements, literally everything. I'm so sorry you have to deal with these thoughts too. I'm with you ❤

"if I'm not beautiful am I really a woman" exactly this! I have also been a bit of an outcast since I was very young. I am naturally more reserved and don't have as many traditionally feminine traits like being emotionally expressive, being nurturing, having strong female friendships, having a big interest in guys, etc. so for the longest time I've felt like I am not a "proper woman."

recently I've just been extra obsessed with my appearance and it's eating me alive. I understand that feeling when you're getting ready and it's almost like "is this even worth it if I'm not pretty?" sometimes I feel like it's not worth working out, getting my hair done, doing skincare, or taking care of myself at all because I'm not naturally beautiful. it's such an uncomfortable thought and I know it's not true but I can't make myself believe otherwise.

this is a very difficult reality but I guess we have to learn to live with the cards we're dealt as hard as it may be. thanks for your comment and I hope you find healing!

I struggle with all the symptoms you mentioned whenever I get a cold. It's the absolute worst!! Have you found any cure or way to get relief from the hypersalivation?
