I honestly hate myself for still feeling this way at 23. Whenever I’m out, I always feel like the ugliest girl in the room, and it literally makes me feel completely worthless. It sucks watching how nicely everyone treats beautiful women. Nobody ever says anything mean to them. Guys are always looking out for them, and other girls always have their back. They get this pass in life that I’ve never had. No one has ever helped or protected me except my parents.I’ve learned to just rely on myself, because my parents won’t be around forever and nobody else gives a damn about me. Maybe this is how it should be.
Movies taught me that you just need to take off your glasses, and then everyone will see how beautiful you truly are. If you’re not wearing any glasses, then I don’t know - I haven’t seen that movie yet.
On a more serious note, insecurities don’t go away just because you’re an adult. You need to work on them, for example via a therapist, until you’rehappy in your own skin. And stop comparing yourself to others, that’s generally a usual source of misery.
