ako medyo because of this scar in my left leg, had this when I was still in Elementary days di nawala, so yun di ako makapagsuot ng mga sexy skirts and shorts, minsan naiinggit ako sa iba pero I didn't allow myself na magfocus sa insecurities na yun, ginagawan ko na lang ng paraan to cover it up! ;)

May share of insecurities ako lalo na pag may outing sila then mga naka two piece ang mga girls na kasama nila parang matutunaw ako sa selos although sinasama ako pero choice ko hindi sumama kasi may factor ako na I hide me insecurities kunwari confident ako .

I appreciate the fact na si hubby hindi nagagandahan sa mga babaeng sobrang makapagmake up or kasi hindi din talaga ako maganda ng naka make up..haha, it is also good thing that hubby is constantly saying how sexy I am..that is in a way helpful to boost my confidence.
I am nobody.

Nobody is PERFECT.

Therefore, I am PERFECT!.

Hi! Pasali  :) newbie po. :)

Me, i'm insecure of my body kase sobrang payat ko tlaga inshort skinny kahit anong gawin ko wa epek and yung childhood scars ko sa tuhod hindi ako mkapag-short, wala pa kase akong pera pambili ng scra remover nagi-ipon pa. hehe
And also yung ilong ko hindi nman siya pango sabi nga ng kakambal matangos daw ilong ko kaso hindi ako ganun ka-confident para ipagmalaki ko.XD

But i'm confident in my height, hehe. Naiingget nga yung mga classmates ko kasi matangkad daw ako pedeng pang- model.XD Kaso hindi bumagay saken kase sobrang skinny ko  :( Hayyyy.

baket di confident si Gf ko sa hair niya.. wavy ang hair niya.. gusto niya lagi nagpapastraight..
eh ang sexy naman ng wavy hair niya.. not like the straight hair na un-natural..
i told her about it.. pero she still insist.. kahit na i always remind her how beautiful she is..
hayssss... girls.. what's with the obsession with straight hair? cant you just love your own?
if i'm the one who's wrong.. then let it be my mistake..

I was also insecure in some years ago.. lalo na nung high school..
i was insecure with my hair, since its thick and coarse.. can't afford ko pa ang mga rebond nun.
my teeth, since malalaki sya nung mga panahong yun.haha..
nose, di kasi sya matangos like my mother and kuya.
my mother, she's beautiful and she always mocked me w/ my looks, manang daw, baduy.. hai (love her to death still)
and most of all, with my height..
i was the only one in my group of friends with no suitors and boyfriend..

but now, i am the queen of my world. Haha.
i started building my character and looks in college..
gain suitors and met my boyfriend up until now.

i blossomed at the right time.

passed the CPA board exam.
and now i feel, what else to prove to them?
i already proved my worth to myself.

Sis, super relate ako sayo. I was so insecure because I was so skinny. I did not join any extracurricular activities nung highschool kasi lagi kong naririnig "nako, ang payat payat mo, mababali lang buto mo". Kahit may manligaw sa akin, feeling ko pinagtritripan lang ako kasi nga I don't feel beautiful that time. I shy away from boys.

My friends in college gave me encourement and build up my confidence. Groomed myself and improved my looks. Lalo akong naging confident when I passed the CPA board at nagka-BF din after. Lived my single life to the fullest, a good and nice paying job, out of town trips, dining at fine restos.
Now I am happily married, enjoying motherhood and very much comfortable with myself :)

naiinsecure tayo kasi kino-compare natin sarili natin sa iba, and yes i  am  one of those who like straight hair kasi parang madali ayusin, my boyfriend also doesn't like rebonded hair but i still do it kasi i feel comfortable having straight hair, it's like a confidence booster, now i tried not to rebond i cut my hair short para maiba naman. but even though how much we try to be contented with what we have naku meron at meron pa din tayo insecurities... why? because we are not perfect. nakaka-affect din ang magazines internet and other forms of media on this issue. kapag nakakakita ako ng package ng laser hair removal naku pinagiipunan talaga... saka kapag nakakkita ng flat abs mega exercise ako... kapag nakakakita ng makinis na babae buy naman ng whitening soap hehe!!! ganun talaga. but it doesn't last, i am still me after all the craze. it helps din naman talaga to increase confidence kapag nagpapaganda eh, normal na sa babae iyon. in the end we have to embrace our imperfections, and be happy as we are. after all we are all beautiful in our own little way :)
God is good all the time :)

I used to be so insecure, lalo na nung pregnant ako. sabayan pa ng pakikipagflirt ng hubby ko sa kanyang mga kaklase. hinanap ko pa kasi sila sa FB when I had this intuition, well well they all are looking good kasi they wear make up and all. di ko yon narealize dati and I felt bad.

paglabas ng anak ko, inenroll ako ng mother-in-law ko sa Slimmers World, ayoko nga e pero wala akong choice kasi bayad na. she really wanted me to be confident again. palagi nya ko pinupuri, looks ko and all. feeling ko sya talaga nagbalik ng confidence ko. todo suporta sya compared to my own mother.

mom ko galit pag naka short shorts ako. kesyo pangit daw legs ko dahil sa allergy scars. si hubby naman kinokontra sya. all throughout my teenage life, never ako nakapagtry ng fashion trends cos of my so-called conservative mom. and cos of her wala akong confidence sa legs ko, sa balat ko (kesyo ang itim daw blah blah blah di naman sya maputi!), pangongontra pag bibili ako ng beauty products or magpapaayos ako ng hair. feel ko inggit sya kasi nagagawa ko yon while she didn't even try cos when she's my age, wala syang work or money.

anyways, I love my in-laws as they helped me overcome my insecurities.

Ako naman i get insecure sa bf ko kasi nga mas maputi [textspeak!] sakin and i feel awkward pag kasama ko sya coz i think she's more "prettier" than me. Hehe! Pero good thing that he's so nice and he loves me a lot naman kya binoboost nya ko lagi na kesyo d naman daw importante kung he's much fairer than me kasi love nya naman daw ako. Besides, parang lahat ng naggng ex niya is mas maputi sya.:) hai ewan... Gusto ko lang talaga kasi mas maganda ko sa kanya. Naiinsecure tuloy ako sa mga girls with fair skin tapos matangkad. Hmp! Pero ok lang love naman nya ko. He even doesn't want me to wear make-up kasi mas gusto nya daw akong simple lang.:)

You want to be confident and feel confident, but what if you're starting with little or no confidence? How do you get from Point A to Point B? True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is worthy of respect and love.

Insecure ako sa mga matatangkad na babae :-\ , 5 flat lang kasi height ko and hanggang baba lang ako ni hubby, hehe. Gusto ko kasi yung mga height ng mga models, pati nadin mga katawan nila ahhaha. Super like ko kasi mga skinny jeans, though nakakapag suot naman ako pero feeling ko ang pangit hahaha! Gusto ko din ng mga Maxi-dresses, pero since na mahahaba siya, pag sinuot ko para akong sinakluban ng kumot heheh.

Pero eto naman ang confident na confident ako. Kayang kaya kong mag twopiece hehe. And maputi ang kilikili ko hahaha!

I had a lot of insecurities especially in the looks department. I knew I couldn't deal with them, so I accepted them and embraced them. They no longer bother me now. I also stopped comparing myself to other girls because that induces bitterness.

I still am aware that I am not stunning nor ever will be, but I also believe I'm not downright ugly naman. With the right clothes, well-maintained nails + hair, good skin, properly applied makeup, I can FEEL beautiful.

May insecurities din ako. Payat ako pero dahil sa kakapilit kong tumaba, kain ako ng kain pero tyan ko lang lumalaki, braso din minsan nalaki. Boobs sobrang onti ng laki pero may onti namang cleavage. Yung dati kong crush / bestfriend ayaw sken kasi gusto nya girl na obvious ang balakang, e halos straight body ko. Si first bf ko naman, pinagpalit ako sa malaking boobs. Si 2nd ex ko lang ang tanggap kung malaki man tyan ko at maliit boobs , pero iniwan pa rin ako.

Nagpaparebond ako dati pa, pero wala namang difference sa paglapit or paglayo saken ng guys kung kulot man ako or rebonded hair ko. Ngayon nagparebond na uli ako after 1 year na hindi. Maraming guys na nagagandahan saken pero si ex ko hindi pa rin ako pinapansin. Nasabi kong may nagagandahan sken kasi may nagsabi na guys sken na ang ganda ko daw kasi less than a year pa lang ako sa ofc. Si ex , ofcmate ko sya since sa previous company ko pero dito lang sa new job naging kame.

Yung ibang guy friends ko sa office, sinasabihan naman akong ang payat ko sobra. Ngayon, since kakabreak ko lang naman kay ex, wala akong pake kung anuman tingin ng guys saken. Wala rin namang nanliligaw pa saken kahit alam nilang single na ako uli.

Nagparebond ako kasi naiirita na ako sa buhok ko. Naglalagay na rin ako onti powder kasi ang hirap icontrol pagiging oily minsan ng face ko. Tinutuloy ko pa rin pa diamond peel / facial ko.

Sana kahit minsan, may manligaw naman uli. Pero kung wala, baka talagang destined na maging single ako :(

I think we all go through this "insecurity and lack of confidence" phase of our lives. From my own POV loving yourself and starting accepting every flaws of your body  whether be it your acne/scar etc. is the key for being confident. Laughing at your own mistakes and moving on from your past failures will add up to it!  Isipin mo na din yung mga achievements na ginawa mo before kahit gaano pa kaliit yan will make you feel a more-secured person. So smile! Stay beautiful and happy! 8)
Live, laugh, love ♥
