i tried to post this on r/confidence but it wouldnt let me post it for some reason. not sure why im making this post, and will take down soon but i dont want to tell anyone irl about it so im doing this. im not sure if its my recent halt in smoking quid chronicly or because ive changed things in my life but im so much more confident and happy with my life recently. i used to be incredibly nervous about the way people saw me, the clothes i wore, the way i looked ect, i would also look in the mirror and see my stuck out jaw, my thinner bottom lip, bushy eyebrows, crooked nose, thin greasy flat hair, rosy cheeks,my sticky out ears, id see my skinny, lanky stature and stare at my bones through my skin. this was until i went to the gym (only a few times but ig i have god genetics(or i just think its a big difference and its not)) and started to see my biceps grow, my shoulder bone didnt stick out anymore, my pecks arent so low. i also (its not gross but i can see how you would see it that way) i stopped using shampoo, prefering to use only conditioner or nothing at all and my hair is the fullest, thickest and best looking it has ever. i havent been told my clothes were bad or weird except for 1 person i dont rlly care about but i always cared that others might or be to nice to say anything. im 16 and i got a job a few months ago and because im 16 i dont have any bills or anything tht i need to spend money on so i bought lots of new clothes and i just feel so much more confident. this is all really badly written and all gramatically incorrect but idc lmao. thought i would share because why not
