What’s going on?
Confidence and body image
Your mind can turn one awkward moment or comparison into a verdict about you.
Why it can feel this way
It is easy to become sensitive to what other people think, and edited feeds can distort what ‘normal’ looks like.
Try this now
Name one thing your body or mind helped you do today—not how it looked.
How to say it
“I’ve been really hard on myself lately. I could use someone who will listen without comparing me to anyone.”
When to get more help
Tell a trusted adult or qualified professional when this keeps coming back, changes sleep or school, or feels too heavy to manage alone.
