this applies in multiple ways. for one there is nobody in your life who will have your best interests in mind as much as yourself. you may have amazing friends looking out for you but only you can make active decisions to improve your life in positive ways. even if you don’t feel great about yourself now, you should strive to care about yourself to the point you can make those decisions, because nobody else can make them for you.
for two as much as your mind might be telling you otherwise, nobody cares about what you’re wearing or how you‘re doing things or what you think. be unapologetically yourself. if other people bring up their issues with it in a hateful way, they are just projecting their own insecurities onto you.
i disagree with plenty of things people do or say but i can ultimately respect the fact they are willing to life their life the way they want. i don’t know their whole life story and i will never assume i do. for all i know, the things they have experienced in their life may have rationally led them to a completely different place than i am in now. and nobody can rightfully blame them for that.
