Can I just confess my insecurities for a sec? I just need to get it out without somebody telling me to shut up for once. I don't like my undefined Asian nose, my thin dark brown hair, my non glass skin, how skinny I am, my nose blackheads, and my small eyes. I think after typing out this long list of things I don't like about myself, I noticed how small these things are. I just wish I didn't have to feel like I needed to prove the rest of the world that I was worthy by being beautiful. I don't need to prove anything to anyone, but I constantly pressure myself to think that I do. Now, i'm realizing that I am beautiful. Not by the world's standards, but beautiful in a way that i'm starting to start to love myself.

We also live in a white community so theres no one really to talk to about it. Not until an older gentleman basically called me a monkey for being asian did I realize that what I felt was legitimate. I found communities online and bestdressed really hones in on this well. Shes a godsend and super talented.

“I didn’t realize that all the things I hated the most about my face were the things that were most asian” I felt this in my core. I just realized this last year. I’m Hispanic, though I often get confused for Asian, especially when I moved to NC from NM where pretty much everyone is Hispanic. I realized it differently though. One day, as I was thinking about the features on a face that I found to be most beautiful, I realized that it was a white face. Rounded eyes, pale skin that turned pink in cold weather, smooth hair (I have curly hair) and the two things you listed: a pointed noise and strong cheekbones. THESE ARE PRIMARILY WHITE FEATURES. Of course I could never be happy with my face. I wanted to achieve something that I could never have. I was so mad at myself for this internalized idea of beauty and surprised that somehow, though I have found so much beauty in a variety of skin tones all my life, it was still ingrained in me that white features were the epitome.

[@smileyy777]

Amen 🙌

for me it’s the opposite , im puertorriqueña but most definitely white passing , all my family had nice curly hair , tan dark skin , cute noses , dark hair , but my mom is European so I came out with brown hair instead of black , wavy loose curls , instead of tight curls , & i hate being the “white girl” of the family just because of how I look

You also gotta understand what your body is trying to communicate to you through these skin issues. Our bodies are electromagnetic information fields that demonstrate the issues we are facing in our lives by transmitting information. This information will then show up in our physical body as errors like dis-ease, skin issues, etc. Really what I'm trying to say is to pay attention to what your body is trying to tell you, and don't ignore the signs it's trying so hard to communicate 💚

Yeah. Many people ask me how I have such beautiful skin and nails but guys we all have about 99% of the same DNA and I’m just the lucky one in the line. As a girl I am very self confident about my looks and if I could bottle up that feeling and hand it out to everyone I would and I get other people aren’t like me and I am very grateful but I still have my moments where I have to say to myself. “It’s ok”. Remember. Beauty doesn’t come from the face, it comes from the light in the heart

[@sanjanan7109]

it's hard for me bc where i live NO one gets acne. like, not even a pimple. everyone has glass perfect skin, and they don't even wear makeup. plus, you can't cover up pimples + acne with foundation, its very obvious underneath. to make it worse, i'm indian, so ALL my relatives and family friends have absolutely perfect skin, and they always stare at me lol. plus, its true everyone gets pimples, but it feels a lot different to "get a pimple" than to have actual, heavy acne.

I'm white. When I was super little, maybe four, I saw an asian girl walking on the street with her parents. I thought she had the most beautiful eyes and I wished mine looked like hers. It kinda shocked me when I later saw a couple other kids pull their eyelids back and laugh as they did the "chinese eyes". Later on I'd look back and realise that stuff like this is subjective; beauty standards are pretty pointless. Doesn't stop me from completely disregarding that and feeling insecure about my other features wooo

[@amulyasubhash7764]

I'm Indian and we as a country are obsessed with fair skin ( because of colonisation ). When I was a young teen, I was watching a lot of beauty videos when I found out about fake tanning it was bizarre to me because as soon as summer comes we have anti tan packages in salons and fairness creams. Beauty standards are horrible.

[@pleasedontlookforme8036]

@@giannakayira8133 I get that feeling too, though for me it's "I'd rather be southeast Asian than Central Asian (iranic/afghan) because southeast Asians are so gorgeous". But then lately I've been asking myself why I don't think that I'm beautiful being the race that I am now, and once I evaluated that, like Ashley, it always came back to Eurocentrism and Eurocentric featurism. Anime consumption also really heavily affected me aswell (I grew up on it and still heavily consume it), which whilst also indirectly promoting Eurocentric beauty standards, despite being of Japanese origin (though that's a massive topic in and of itself), brought to me toxic Asian beauty standards as well. I mainly really hated my big nose, which ironically enough is my most ethnic feature since I'm fairly white passing, and I also felt I wasn't light enough, or tall enough, or I was insecure about my jawline, or my body, or my unruly hair - and I would see Asian girls and white girls as women who were born without my "ugly" features - they'd be paper-white fair, small nose, the white women were tall, the Asian girls had beautiful jawlines, and both had the most silky manageable, beautiful hair. But these are just stereotyped generalisations of very vast populations, and most of these people don't look like the beauty standards their societies enforce, which harms them just as much as me. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, not every Asian woman is the perfect image of an Asian woman you have in your head, and being African doesn't make you any less beautiful.

Oh my goodness I really relate to this. I have quite an olive complexion and dark hair and I have been told that I’m every ethnicity under the sun - not asked, actually TOLD that that must be what I am.

And I love what you said about people seeming to suggest that it would be a bad thing if you were a different ethnicity. It’s quite bizarre and sad. Also I love acting and my ambition is to do it for a living, so I feel like I’m stuck in this tiny bracket of specific roles I can play. I’ve actually been told that I can’t play specific roles because I’m not blonde and pale enough. It drives me mad. Anyway I just thought I’d share my experience with this so you know you aren’t alone- I really hope things get better for you because you seem like a lovely person and what you look like should never define you.
