[m0mish]

ako din mga sis.. ang dami ko insecurities.. my skin asthma kasi ako tapos ang chubby ko pa ngayon after i gave birth.. actually minsan naiingit ako sa mga babaeng nakakapagshort tapos nakakapag sleeveless at super kinis ng balat... haaaayyyy natatakot tuloy akong baka makahanap yung hubby ko ng iba 

[melabshim]

^Nakakainis diba? Madalas din kami magaway sa ganyang reason... He tells me he loves me. And I can see he's doing his best naman to please me. But I dunno... parang sakin na ata talaga may problema. Lol.

sayo na nga ata talaga may problem sis haha  ako naman kasi may pinaghuhugatan yung pag iinarte ko sakanya hahaha 

@ momish .. same sis, inggit din ako sa nakakapag short kasi i have scars all over  my legs.. pag nakakakita ako ng naka shorts sa mall napapatitig ako sa legs, kung boy lang ako mapagkakamalan akong manyakers hehe ..

[m0mish]

@melabshim   hahahahahaha tama minsan din pagtumitingin ako sa kanila tinatarayan ako ng tingin akala siguro nila naghahamon ako ng away pero nagagandahan lang ako sa kanila... haaayyy we need to sort this insecurities out!

[qt_ben17]

for me, these are the things that affect my insecurity:

1. money -- i get depressed when i dont get much. Funny thing is, all my insecurities seem to lessen when I became
independent and make money on my own, not having to rely on allowances from parents lol
2. work -  the type of work I do is related with how people look at me and how i respect my self.
3. physical looks - of course, everyone should look pleasing and easy on the eye.
4. having a partner - this is the unconscious part. I realize that when Im single, I feel this loop of insecurites above
goes more intense. It's like the need to have and show off a perfect me, a perfect life. But when I have someone with
me, everything gets mellowed down..

ako super insecure kaya ang dami kong kaartehan sa buhay!

Im very insecure with my skin coz I had acne marks (from acne in HS) Now im undergoing derma rolling and I can see results already. My skin is not far from kutis artista pero but its better.

I also take 2 caps of gloww capsules with 1000mg vit c with rose hips before going to sleep para di masyado haggard looking kahit puyat.

I exercise 4-5 times a week. Derma once a month and put sunscreen everyday!! I used to spend lavishly on clothes, shoes and bags but it will not look good on you with you dont have a pretty face! So ngayon invest talaga ako sa skin care kasi pag makinis no matter how simple your clothes are, pansinin talaga.

I also bought airbrush make up for a flawless natural foundation. I also had eyebag camouflage, nose lift. Effort talaga magpaganda.

My bf works in a tv network so he is surrounded with this beautiful women but he assures me na normal na lang yun sa kanya and ako lang ang superstar nya! I promised myself not too look losyang kasi yung ibang girls napapabayaan na looks nila which should never be the case because men are hunters in nature!

I grew up with very low self-esteem. Siguro dahil na din sa NBSB or NSSB (No Suitor Since Birth). I always ask myself kung may problema ba sakin, o pangit lang ba talaga ako? o kasi dahil ba healthy ako? 




Pero syempre, ayoko naman na forever low-esteem and insecure ako. Kaya I always try na i-remind ang sarili ko na imbis magmukmok ako or magpakalunod sa insecurities ko, dapat kumilos ako. Na yung iba, maganda at masaya sila hindi lang dahil ganoon na talaga sila kundi dahil pinaghihirapan din nila yun 


Kaya ngayon, sige ang basa ko sa GT at sa pinterest about beauty and hair tips

^ I've seen a lot of girls from church with different looks and body types who got married to great guys.
It might attract men if they see women who love and respect themselves.  Keep the positive interest going!

[lady_avoidant]

ako din nakakaramdam ako ng insecurities pag nakakakita ako ng pretty girls...  buti nalang may bf ako to make me feel beautiful.. minsan, i just pray na sana mawala na yung envy and insecurities ko because alam ko i have my own strength din naman..

[mochistar]

Hate to admit it pero i  have a lot of insecurities rin and right now pinipilit kong labanan. Ever since na nagkabf ako dun ko lang talaga nafeel lahat. Kumpara sa mga babae sa kanila, feel ko wala akong sinabi (foreigner sya). Pero i guess maswerte narin ako na kahit ganun ang tingin ko sa sarili ko, lagi nya pinaparamdam sakin na ako ang mahal nya. Ngayon i'm doing my best to be better. Not just for him pero of course unang una para sa sarili ko

[errolavi14]

segundo ko lang na fi feel yung insecurity ko. pag me dumaan na mas maganda... i just feel like i will stand in my own feet na para bang.. haler... "andito ako isang strong woman na hindi pwedeng gutumin sa daan...." parang ganun lang ang banat ng brainish ko... and i will speak gently lang... tipong my sense...

hindi kasi ako sobrang bilib sa isang magandang babae... plus factor lang yon sa isang independent woman na kahit hindi mag boyfriend o mag asawa ng mayaman e mabubuhay ng maayos dahil alam niyang pansarili e kaya naman niya.. ganun lang yung way of thinking ko... 

[iwannabeasupermodel]

Ako i'm very insecure, kahit physically and outwardly i look so confident and independent and beautiful and sexy "daw" and all that s***. Kaya nga rin siguro ako obssess sa beauty and fashion, to hide my insecurities.

[simang]

I remember one scene from the pilot episode of Lost aired 10 years ago, when Jack talked about letting the fear in. Sabi nya, you have to let the fear in, and let it do its job, pero only for five seconds. Count to five and after that dapat wala na. After 5 seconds you should be okay and fearless again.

I kind of lived in that premise. I let all the negative feelings in -- whether fear, katamaran, insecurities, whatever -- pero only for 5 seconds. After I count to five, I should be going again like normal. It has helped me with my confidence a lot. I used to be so insecure when I was younger. By consciously trying to push my insecurities aside, mas nadiscover ko kung ano talagang gusto ko sa buhay, and most importantly i discovered who i really am. Sure I still have insecurities from time to time, pero i don't let it get the best of me. There was a time even na i list down all the wonderful things in my life, and it made me realize that i have nothing to be insecure about.

It's about perception din, for me. Whatever is in my head, that's my truth. So if I think I'm less of a person than the pretty girl my boyfriend glanced at, that's what I'm going to believe. Yung yung katotohanan para sa akin because that's how i saw it. Pero if i think that i'm no less than whoever, then mas makaksabay ako sa kanila.

Dati insecure ako sa height ko ngayon hindi na, pero sa boobs hindi na yata mawawala insecurities ko sa part na yan.

[molybdenumstudios]

And yes I envy girls who get their looks from their mom, lalo na kapag mestiza. Or halfies who got their looks from their foreigner dad. Kaya pala, ang secret ng mga moms na whose foreigner hubby's genes are stronger have a strong personality. No wonder, I have to develop that strong personality to boost confidence, even in this society where many females are feminine (most of us desire smooth skin, slim frame).

[estelle21]

Sobrang insecure ko ngayon after kami mag break ng ex ko. Medyo matagal na rin kasi kami.

Naging pabaya rin kasi ako sa sarili. A friend even told me na baka factor yun kaya ayaw na ko bigyan ng guy ng chance? kasi it seems la na ko care sa looks ko. Lamon lang ng lamon. Akala ko kasi tanggap ako ng buong buo at my ex saw me beyond my appearance.

Ayun. ngayon nag sink in sakin lahat. Ngayon ko pinagbabayaran na sa early 20s ko pa lang e naging pabaya ako sa looks, skin, katawan. Di ako nag eexercise noon at kain lang ng kain. sweets, junk food.

Nung naghiwalay kami, I looked at myself at nasabi ko sa sarili ko na walang guy magkakagusto sa itsura ko. 

[estelle21]

a unique, genuine, and good personality can always compensate for looks.

kung di talaga maganda, basta mag-ayos lang. be presentable. pag-aayos can really help us feel confident.

bukod sa pag-aayos dapat mag invest rin sa substance, di lang sa looks i.e. make up or clothes.

dapat pati sa interests.  kung hilig music, learn an instrument. kung marami time and money, why not enroll sa MA classes. learn how to cook a new dish. draw. paint. hahaha. start a business kaya.

dapat mag-invest din sa personality e.

and most of all dapat hindi self-centered. kasi when we care less about ourselves and care for other, they will care back. and if there are many people caring for us genuinely, we will feel not just confident diba. we'll also appreciate our worth. naks! haha!

I know it's bad, but I feel insecure the most when I'm with a great guy. Parang, you can do better naman.. Why me? I don't tell him off course,  but it's there. 

When I'm single,  I don't worry as much.

[mochistar]

＾＾＾ i also feel the same now that i'm with such a great guy. He finds it cute though whenever i tell him about it. I try not to think about it pero sometimes di talaga maiwasan. Now i'm trying to do my best to improve

[sugardrop]

Naalala ko lang. This male co-worker of mine recently asked me, "hindi ka ba na-iinsecure? Hot yung boyfriend mo". I decided not to take offense with his question and simply said, "Nope. He doesn't make me insecure and doesn't even give me a reason to be insecure about myself."

Pero lahat naman tayo may insecurities. Either suck it up and accept it or do something about it. I choose to do both.

[tunamaki]

I'm the most insecure person I know on earth, and because of this minsan masama ugali ko. There's this at work na ayoko sasabay sa akin sa break, lunch even sa CR!  She's so pretty (and doesn't know it) and pag magkakatabi kami lalo ako pumapangit LOL. So I avoid her at all cost...one time she caught me of guard and she took a snap of the 2 of us on her cellphone. When I saw the pic, que horror parang prinsesa at alipin kami (I'm the alipin).
