Any selfie I post takes over ten tries to get right.

Most of the time, the pictures will get deleted without getting posted.

I will cry away my makeup because I can never get it to look like the girls on Instagram.

What An Average Day Looks Like When You Have Trouble Loving Yourself

Luiz Clas

Any selfie I post takes over ten tries to get right.

Sometimes, no amount of filters can change how awful I feel.

Of course, I worry about more than my looks.

My insecurities extend to my personality.

I worry about being too quiet, too loud, too forward, too shy.

I second guess every word that comes out of my mouth.

That is why compliments are always met with a head shake.

If someone says something nice about me, I will cancel out the flattery by insulting myself.

Or I will convince myself they were secretly making fun of me and the compliment isnt authentic after all.

I will never read signals right, even if they are obvious to everyone else.

I will always assume the worst.

When its time to head to bed, every little mistake made throughout the day replays in my head.

I will torture myself until I fall asleep and will do the same thing the next night.

When you have trouble loving yourself the way I do, an average day feels like a nightmare.

It feels like your own mind is trying to tear you apart.
