Earlier this week, a friend asked me what do i least like about myself. I thought about it for a bit, and only one thing could come to mind....my lack of self-confidence.
One of my biggest struggles in life was right there in my mirror.I keep aking myself why do i always tend to put myself down? I ask God to help me with it. I was always bombarded with the thought that I wasnt a decent looking dude, even though i would have somebody tell me that im handsome every now and then..but I never got the more flattering compliments like my younger brother got. I would always wish there was something i could do to change it.
That low self-esteem followed me even when i was in my teens. Adolescence is hard enough, but imagine having your own natural insecurities about your flaws, heightened by the negative reaction of others. My appearance began to depress me.
I realize now that everybody has flaws about them, even if it's not on the outside. Beauty is only skin deep. Now, I learned just to just love myself for who i am and never let the negativity get in the way.
