[REPOST - my post was removed earlier this morning]

I’ve been navigating some pretty major life transitions lately, and honestly, it’s been a difficult chapter.

I’ve struggled with my mental health and self-image for a long time, and lately I’ve found myself being particularly hard on myself.

Sometimes I think I just want to feel seen. To feel attractive, appreciated, or simply reminded that there’s something good about me that I might not always recognize myself.

Even posting this feels strangely vulnerable. Part of me worries about seeming self-centered for seeking validation, but I think we all need a little kindness and reassurance sometimes.

So here’s me putting myself out there today. ❤️
Any genuine encouragement or compliments would mean a lot, especially right now.

Y'all know how life gets sometimes. Bills, cars breaking down, kids, school, just everything. Shit piles up and sometimes it gets hard to breath. Y'all are always a breath of fresh air.

Had some tough things happen lately and been feeling rather lonely and struggling with depression for a long time and not having many friends to talk to. Any kind words would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve been feeling down lately. Trying to work on my self esteem and confidence.

Also I know I’m ugly and it really sucks. I wish I could be like some other women who are naturally beautiful. I know I have a decent personality, I just want to be pretty. I’m tired of having to wear a lot of makeup just to feel somewhat pretty. I don’t always like the feeling of makeup on my skin

I guess it's dysphoria but it gets so tiring all I can hear is a voice in the back of my head telling me I look like a guy , I'd love some reassurance/just general affirmation if that's oki tyyy 🩷

I know I need to lose some weight and smile more, I’m just feeling down about my looks especially my nose, forehead and jawline. Give me something to feel happy about lol

Edit: forgot to mention I’m 27
