teeth and millimeter longer eyelashes by appreciating what we already have.

clumsy about confiding in someone about it. Let people know what you are going
through and ask them for advice and support. It's important to find someone you
can confide in and feel at ease with. Having a secure place to vent your feelings
might help you deal with the anguish and embarrassment of being body shamed (

Keep in mind that you are more than your physical self. Even if you dislike some
features of your appearance, you are far more valuable as a person than just your
physical self. Your unique self is made up of all of your thoughts, feelings, and
deeds. ( Fontes, 2020)
