I really dont feel like meeting up with my 'best friend' anymore. shes so lucky and even met this model and they did a photo shoot together, and they r following each other on ig. and if we meet, dude the comparison might just kill me over the top:( I cant be anything like her, im not even as white as her, she has a perfect smile... shes good at dancing and singing and piano. We used to talk alot but now.... i just look at her.. while my insecurities are getting higher and higher idk what to do anymore, i cant cry i cant do anything i feel so useless. Im not so perfect but i wanna shine too even if i do things that my other family cant do i still feel unseen, like always left out. Having social anxiety is the worst, and my friends wont even comfort me and stuff, but when they chat abt how insecure they are.. the whole group cheers each other up and stays quite when i chat abt my personal thoughts:( and just chat around like they didnt see my messages... The comparison just kills me and I cant meet up with her just because im so insecure around her:(..

[@rarewolfminecraft9007]

I know I’m late but I have many insecurities. My number on insecurity is my body and being bullied. I get bullied everyday about how skinny I am and it really just gets to me so this video makes me feel a bit better about myself

Anyone else feel like it's easier to be LESS critical of others than you are of yourself?

[@doughartley3513]

Absolutely, true. We are our own worst critic. It’s easier to criticize ourselves than risk criticism of others.

[@the360lifejourneywithaself5]

For me, I've definitely found it is easier to give others a break over myself. However, I've noticed that the kinder I am to myself, the kinder I've become to others. Weird, right?

[@joshshortt9599]

The most difficult time to like yourself is when you fail to get what you want. What good are you to yourself if you can't get what you want? Well, it is okay to not be good enough to get what you want, because you aren't on this planet to get what you want. You're here to learn what you need. Not getting what you want can be one of the best learning experiences you'll ever have.

[@rowena]

absolutely. and that's all the more reason why we should love & cheer for ourselves when things don't end up panning out as we imagined. I'd like to believe that the universe is constantly showing / sharing lessons with us until we learn and internalize them 😌✨

This is very random but I used to edit my pictures before posting on instagram A LOT (like I'd spend hours on one pic because because I wanted it to look pretty but not heavily edited which is stupid because i did edit heavily lol) I used to think i was very non photogenic. And i was. But not because I was ugly but because in pictures i just looked very stiff and strange because I was constantly trying to pose nicely and keep all the angles nice and "just like that instagram girl who looks perfect in pictures". But I realized that I don't wanna look back on my feed and see a bunch of wannabe pics, trying too hard to look pretty. I want to see moments. And happiness and authenticity. So now i just take a lot of goofy and candid pics, and don't edit myself at all and just try to find the perfect filter that captures the vibe and my mood at that time perfectly. It's so much nicer to look back on my feed now. Because I don't see altered images of myself that make me wanna cringe and puke but I see moments that I cherish. So yeah :)

[@valeriaespinosan]

I'll meditate on it during this break, but if I'm going to use IG again, I'll follow this advice for sure. Thank you again. May your life be full of health, love and happiness. ❤

[@kubrab8201]

About being jealous of someone who is “better” than us, I learned a way to get rid of overjealousy. You should pray for the person that you jealous for their particular quality that makes you jealous to increase! If you’re jealous about their success, pray for them to be more successful, if it is about the beauty, pray for them to be more beautiful. (actually being jealous is normal, but it may harm us if it is too much as you talked about it Rowena). It is an islamic advice and it is sooo hard to do. But I tried it and it works! Maybe it’ll work for other people in here... Love your content as always Rowena, you’re the best

I was trying on bathing suits and started crying about how I looked. I have a pool party to go to... and I have to learn to love who I am.

We are enough, even if we don't see it ourselves.

Whenever I went to buy bathing suit it ended up in tears. My advice is : do whatever you can to change your situation and solve problem you have. I regret not doing it on time when I was still young.

I remember as a very small child starting school being uncomfortable around the adults and children (I wasn’t socialized much when I was young) and eventually I realized I was having full blown panic attacks on the daily from the stress of my social anxiety. I still have it as a grown adult.😖😢 it really sucks.

[@Ali_b1009]

Thank you for this video. It gave me a lot to think about. I was a happy kid until I got bullied in school, it has affected me in almost every aspect of my life. I never had body image/self esteem issues until the bullying started and it still has an affect on me almost 18 years later. I can’t bring myself to do certain hairstyles, wear certain clothes or take pictures because of it. I hardly have any pictures of my teen years or even 20s which is so sad. I was looking into getting surgery to fix it but if I have children, my future child could inherit what I changed 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@katherineeromfgxs]

thank you for this! looking forward to the perfectionism video bc i really struggle with it

[@clairescloset-9083]

Anyone else insecure because they have a big nose-? lil context: Basically I’ve has a big nose bc it’s ethnic and I’m in America (yea everyone has a small noes) and basically I was doing online school in 7th grade & 6th, and when it came to 8th grade I wore a mask the WHOLE year, bc Covid & my nose. But now Covid is like eh, and people don’t wear masks and no one really at my school has seen my SIDE profile, (where my noes is visible). And my friends are inviting me to places and to hang out, and like during high school I don’t wanna wear a mask but I’m to insecure to not. Like I can’t imagine the disappointment or like idk people put a image in there head of how I would look, and I don’t want to disappoint that or ‘mask fish’. Sounds dumb, I know. Your noes does not define your beauty, but in my head it really has. What do I do? I really wanna hang out with my friends but I’m insecure as heck like :( what do I do……???!!

Rowena is absolutely right that a lot of mass produced public relations is propaganda. In my opinion, it comes down to what the motivations and outcomes of a campaign are. I think in modern times, there are more companies focused on being genuine and real in their approaches than there used to be.

Just wanted to share something about body image and insecurity!! Earlier this year, I got plastic surgery to change something about my body - my previous body actually matched more with the "instagram model" type body, and everyone around me seemed to like it, but it was affecting my mental health so bad I was truly spiraling. Went to therapy and both eventually decided that plastic surgery was the way to go for me - I don't share it with people as I realise it would look like a superficial choice, but anyone who knows me will know how much it's affected my mental health! I don't feel like I'm "entitled" to be body positive as I got there through surgery, but boy do I feel amazing in my own skin right now

[@heyheyvicky1498]

May I ask you what exactly that was? I just now cases where things that matched the beauty standard had a bad impact on physical health (like big boobs for the back) and cases where things that did not match the beauty standard impacted mental health (too big nose, too little boobs, etc.) but never that a standards-meeting beauty things did impact mental health...

I just found Rowena’s page today and I immediately subscribed!! Thank you for your videos. I recently accepted a new job where I’ll be managing my own team. I really want to become more organized and comfortable managing again, so I can relate to my team well. I have a few insecurities when it come to starting this new position, I value myself and the company so, I want to overachieve the expectations given to me. I’m blessed for this opportunity and your videos are definitely helping me ground myself to do well and not feed into those insecurities I was exposed too. Especially when I can make some changes to my mindset and download a few great apps to help me feel prepared. (Plus, creepily looking in the background of your videos to get book recommendations) hehe ☺️

Appreciate your openness to share your previous self and the mental state you were in. I think this year has been quite a transformative year for myself as it gave me an opportunity to reassess myself professionally and personally.

This is such a beautiful and vulnerable video, thank you! Looking into Edward Bernays earlier this year was a huge red pill for me. The idea that "public relations" was created by a man who observed and basically hacked women's biology specifically to create the "perfect consumer" (his own words) explains so much about corporate feminism. I hope his work becomes more mainstream knowledge because as hard as it is to realize we're being manipulated at every turn, it's also empowering. Just a little side note, the cofounder of Netflix is Edward Bernays' nephew. Yikes.

Highly highly recommend watching Adam Curtis' series Century of the Self if you haven't already (it's from the BBC so it's all available for free on KZbin). Episode 1 describes the 20th century divide between Edward Bernays/advertising & PR's view of humans as inherently irrational, driven by desire, can only be controlled by satiating those desires via consumerism vs. FDR's perspective that humans could reason through problems if explained properly (hence his fireside chats). It's a really eye opening series and does a great job of putting our current situation with social media, advertising, etc. into historical context.

[@nevillelongbottom1628]

Hey Rowana! I've binged your videos over Covid, I've now caught up and watched absolutely every video you've ever made! I'm happy because I feel like we are on such similar journeys. We are a similar age and both have a social media presense where we feel the need to make deadlines and lead people. I wanted to give you a challenge! You often say things in "groups of 3" - for example you often will start a sentence and give three different endings. "All of this makes you think about your life, makes you consider your daily actions, makes you... .... ... think about what you do and why you do it". So there will frequently be a large pause before the third item. The reason for this pause is that you've already made your point but you want to make 3 items because it's more whole and rounded than 2 items. I would challenge you to try to say it in one. And just repeat that 1 item. Reason why: it will focus your writing (I know most of this is scripted) and it will force you to find the point and reiterate that instead of following a rule of 3. You dont need to eliminate the rule of 3 every time. It's just a great way to challenge yourself in your writing! Thanks so much for all you do!

Everything you said is "exactly" what I needed to hear. I was in the beauty industry. So, you can imagine what goes through my mind. I am SO grateful that I found you! :)

Thank you so much ! This video actually calmed me down while I was spiraling with insecurities. I'm.having a really hard time with acne/acne scars, I'm doing my best with all the skincare knowledge out there but it's taking so much time for my skin to heal and I cant stop thinking how much my clear skin from back then was the thing that made me look decent. Im not a pretty girl and ive accepted that fact last year but now , I dont even have clear skin so I dont even look decent. I just feel yucky and that I wont find love because no guys my age( genZ) would even be interested in me. I dont even feel like I have that great of a personnality, I think I'm actually very basic, there's nothing special about me. So even my "inner beauty" cant compensate for the acne. Ouff im drowning in my insecurities. I would love a video like this just for acne positivity, I would be so grateful :') ❤
