Ive been meaning to post but ivhavent really had the time till now. I've been pretty stressed out with school and just life most days. I've found myself comparing me to others... Why am i not pretty like them? I don't wear all name brand clothes, does that make me less? They are so much starter. As much as i hate these thiughts i can't help but think them. I've not really felt myself, ive been distant in messaging or talking to my friends. Sometimes the world around me seems fake. Ik this post is all over but I just wanted to get it out

Even when people look in the mirror they never see themselves the way others do. I guarantee that those friends who you think are prettier look in the mirror and have the exact same negative thoughts about themselves.

As a man I'm always surprised how women think we notice their "flaws". We just don't. Mirrors whisper to you that something looks ugly or wrong, but only mirrors notice things like that. Similarly you don't have to look like currently fashionable models. Everyone looks different and that's okay. If you're fun to be around and you look basically healthy, men will say you are pretty.

Ignore men who make crude remarks to show off to their friends. They're saying it because they think it's expected.

Brand-name clothes make no difference at all, except that I'll think you're a bit thick if I work out that you've spent a huge amount on something so unimportant. :)
