Im always wishing I was different

When we see all these pictures and standard on solcial media we always think wouldnt it be nice. All these things on diets and the perfect body and goals. But then there sre things where it says love you for you. Its hard to do that when we see so much of what is expected for you to be like. They make you feel even worse because tou just wish you were like it and regret all the times when you could have changed something. I guess thats why I hate how I look. I see all the pictures of girls with flat stomachs so often that it gets stuck in my brain and im always thinking, yep thats what I want to be like. But im not so it makes me upset.

Dont come on here and start commenting saying im over reacting cuz this is what many people think. Its part of a girl to wish and doubt.

Most of those pictures of women with a flat stomach are all photoshopped. They're not realistic. And if it's real at all, their blood results will lack lots of vitamins because they're starving themselves to look that way. This world is crazy! The media is especially crazy! It gives us an image of an 'ideal' that could never be real, let alone healthy! You're still young and I'm sensing you would want to go the direction of anorexia before you know it. Please take care of yourself and NEVER ever compare yourself with anyone else, no matter if you get bullied or not, get negative comments about your looks or not, stay TRUE to yourself. Just only do what YOU want to do, not because of what other people have to say about it or what the media is manipulating our brains with. Yes, it's pure manipulation, that's what! There's nothing natural about it anymore. and that saddens me. I'm also not happy about the way I look. I'm fat and it's most of all because I lack progesterone hormones that makes it hard for me to lose weight, even if I'd only eat salads and nothing else.. Well. That's life. I have come to accept myself for who I am, even though I've been bullied for many years. I've gained self confidence now because I have learned to stay true to myself. I have an amazing big loving heart, love to help people, have beautiful big greyblue eyes,.. So i just remind myself of the beautiful things about me, so I forget what I dislike(d) about myself, you know. That always works for me. And turning off newsfeed on facebook by the extension "Newsfeed Eradicator" is also a good idea. No influence by the media = no bad mood about the media ;) What you don't know, can't hurt you ;)

I'm not gonna say everyone's beautiful in their own way and other stupid lies. But let me tell you something, the media will always change its view about beauty standards, so don't you think it's dumb and superficial to change our minds every time they want you to be someone else?. Also some of the photos you like are photoshopped, now do you think it's healthy to want to achieve unrealistic goals? Finally, do whatever make you feel beautiful as long as you're healthy and happy.
