Project confidence #2 (October 20)

Is it weird that I’m comfortable with the idea of people talking trash about me behind my back as long as they’re nice to me? I’m so scared of confrontation that I would rather lie than hurt someone with the truth and rather be lied to than get hurt. And I feel guilty for it, but I can only stop lying if I manage to stop caring about the impression other people get of me.

Project confidence #1 (October 16)

So I'm trying to become confident. This is not really a new goal bc I've been struggling with my insecurities and my social anxiety for pretty much my whole life, but for the first time I'm doing this for myself. I'm not trying to become confident to prove something to my family, my friends, or people who have put me down, I just want to be comfortable in my own skin. I want to be able to go out and not constantly wonder if I'm being judged, I want to make plans with friends and then not freak out and cancel them, I want to meet new people without having a breakdown afterwards, I want to be more honest about my opinion. I think people who don't know me extremely well will not see me as a very self conscious person, even though I am. I've always been good at acting, I have colorful hair and wear extravagant outfits, sometimes not even because i like them, but I wear my 80's blazer like an armour, that protects my insecurities from being visible. So I'm trying out this radical concept called "loving yourself". And sometimes it works out pretty good and sometimes, of course, not. But the thing is, I'm still trying. I'm still here. And I'm not gonna give up that easily.

I bought myself a really cute bra for valentines day because why the fuck not. I'm single and I firmly believe in investing in whatever makes myself feel good (also this will be my year of body confidence, I'm v v adamant about this) But then one of my friends insinuated I was only buying it for a specific male friend who I'll be seeing soon and I wanted to go after her about objectification and internalized misogyny but I didn't have the energy Like, why can't i do something just for myself without everyone else thinking I have ulterior motives? That I can only look good if I'm doing it explicitly to attract a man? Note: I'm a straight woman at a women's college. If I only wanted to look good for cismen I would never wear makeup and I wear it every day. 😒 /end rant/

For an overweight person with relatively low self-esteem I sure do take a lot of selfies

Project Confidence: Why I Need It

Project Confidence: Why I Need It

First of all, I cannot believe that my first Project Confidence post was 3 weeks ago! I honestly have no idea where all of that time as disappeared to, it’s a bit scary actually.

That being said, today I was struck with a pretty hefty job that made me wish I had started Project Confidence months ago. A few weeks ago, my boss arranged for me to be in today’s management meeting to discuss something…

Project Confidence: What is it?

Project Confidence: What is it?

Shopping for me is a bit of a hit-and-miss experience. Sometimes when I go, I’ll love everything I try on and I’ll want to buy it all because it makes me look great. It might cinch my waist, elongate my legs or plump my butt: it’ll give the illusion that I have the figure of which I dream.

However, most of the time I go, I leave empty-handed, disappointed and self-conscious.

I’ve never really…
