I Struggle With My Body Image

I am unbelievably skinny, with big ears and slightly dark under eyes. Growing up I used to always, and I mean always wear jackets and slightly loose pants whenever I go out because I thought they would be able to hide my body. I purposely tried to ruin my eyesight (yikes) just to hide behind my glasses. My classmates and friends would tease me, even my parents would keep reminding me of my weight. I became incredibly insecure and would even refuse to go out sometimes when possible. But you know what I learned years later? It's that it doesn't matter. So what if you have flaws? Everyone does. Being ashamed of them isn't going to make them disappear. It'll only cause you to lose self-confidence and have people mock you even more. I was born like this, there are things about me that I can't change. And why should I? Why should you? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Even if you're not pretty in somebody's eyes, there will always be people who will accept you for all that you are. I am happy that you were able to overcome all of that. Btw, I think you're really pretty!
