Inb4 “go to a therapist” 

I know

Also I’m sorry for using the word “perfectionist,” I don’t mean to imply that everything I do is perfect or anything. Just that I’m anxious bc I point out all minute flaws of myself and it ruins my confidence! 

I don’t have enough spare money rn (costs me $60 per session)
​I’m currently at a vacation with friends

I’m literally the smallest and skinniest guy here. A few months ago people said my body was “bomb.” I’m literally a few pounds heavier than that rn. And I’m STILL too embarrassed to take my shirt off for the pool because I don’t have my dream blatant-6-pack body yet. 

I’m too embarrassed to be in photos even though my hair is apparently “voluptuous” because I have some forehead acne. 

Im finally starting to acknowledge that it’s ridiculous at this point. 


I could list many more examples but I’m way too embarrassed to list them. 

I prevent myself from experiencing opportunities because I’m too self conscious because I’m not “perfect” and it’s really REALLY hard to make myself feel “comfortable” in a social situation. I have to basically tell myself “who cares, you’re *insert negative phrases* it is what it is :) it’s only temporary!” which is not a healthy thing to do lol

I’m gonna regret saying this
