Anyone have experience or tips in dealing with imposter syndrome about your body image? <<
In my young gay years, I learned pretty quick that as an overweight dog with no confidence, to expect disinterest if not disdain from most people who are "conventionally attractive"

I'm sure that repeated positive reinforcement is probably the answer, it's just hard to see the progress sometimes when a random comment or a bad mood or exhausting day can bring those negative thoughts. I just wish there was a way to push them away easier
And in all sincerity, the stuff you post on here is ~hot~. 😘
I wish I had the answer for imposter syndrome and the self-confidence to be comfortable with yourself.
I’ve recently been trying repeating mantras in the mirror to myself to practice the self-confidence I want to have.
I appreciate you 💚
Second, I combated the imposter syndrome by deciding I was going to look sexy cuz I wanted to. I do my pics & outfits & smut for me, not to impress others. It’s a self love exercise.
Although after experiences where being unattractive to someone has led to disrespect, there is probably some approval-seeking going on as a way to feel more secure in my interactions with others
