How I did it: I listed what I liked about myself, my talents, skills, and personality features and put a spotlight on these. I really got into a 'princess' mentality: trying to be well-rounded, and polite, and likeable. I knew then I will always be beautiful on the inside. I started to realize I am beautiful, in and out. I don't need to be 5'10 to be beautiful. I don't need boobs. I don't need to have perfect complexion either haha. I just am. I became less insecure. There's many gorgeous girls but I have trained myself to just enjoy their style/beauty and not see them as competition and wish for everything they have. It's impractical and exhausting! You can't tell what kind of a person someone is by looking at them.

Lessons & tips: A strong supportive friend circle for one. Your friends think you are wonderful and fabulous an they love you for who you are, otherwise they wouldn't be your friends!! So look at what they see.

Leaving behind anyone who points out your short comings or flaws, or anyone who compares you to someone 'better' is another. These people make you dote on what THEY think is wrong with you. You have to realize those people are negative and THEY are wrong, not you!

Don't change for anyone else or try to be more like another person to please someone else. A true freind/love accepts you as you are. Especialy when it comes to any superficialities, kick those bitches to the curb!
