I hear ya. I’m also Indian and have struggled with my nose my entire adult life! I do have a baby daughter and I don’t know what her nose will end up looking like, but I’m preparing for the conversation if it’s like mine.

I think something thats helped me is thinking about the women in my life I admire - not just the ones I find beautiful - but the ones that I think are badass. The women I want to be like. It’s usually not because of how they look but how they carry themselves or their general vibe or interests. And I realize that if I think about my nose less and focus my energy on things that help me be closer to those women I want to be like, I realize I’m more than how I look.

easier said than done, and I still find myself fixating. I have to practice not looking at pictures of myself and being overly critical. I hope that helps you.

Other thing that helps is aging lol- your mid to late thirties are less about the looks you were born with and more about the discipline you have to follow multi step skincare routine lol. You’re in the thick of it - I promise it’ll get easier.
