About the feature that I have felt insecure about for a long time is my nose. I’ve always thought it looked bigger than average, and as a teenager I became very self-conscious about it. I first started feeling insecure about my nose when I was in middle school, about whom I became. I was very concerned about my appearance, especially after seeing pictures of celebrities and models who seemed to have perfect facial features. I started to feel that my nose didn’t fit the ideal look. Over time I realized that I wasn’t alone in feeling this way. Many people I know, including close friends and family members, have insecurities about different parts of their bodies. Self-conscious about their weight, skin or height, while others also feel insecure about their noses. I’ve had conversations with friends who share the same struggle, and it has helped me understand that beauty is subtractive. What matters most is how we feel about ourselves, not how others see us.
