Q3. being comfortable in your own skin

Q5. be yourself it doesn't matter what others think

2025-03-14 06:59:47 UTC

people can be stereotypical and have ideals that others may work very hard to achieve to both please themselves and others. A lot of people are always judgy and people on the internet may take it to heart. To me, confidence is the bravery and courage to accept oneself for who you are. Do not take others' negative advice to heart.

"you are perfect just the way you are. you have neither reason nor need to please others' just to be by their liking."

1. the beauty standards of people changes through time, we should always love ourselves no matter what the beauty standards are, and we should not judge others based on their looks

2. many images on social media are filtered or edited, making it easy to compare yourself to an unrealistic ideal, leading to many people to have unrealistic beauty standards

3. loving yourself no matter what the beauty standards are and what others say

4. when you catch yourself being self-critical, pause and reframe it into something positive.

5. people will always have opinions, but they don’t define you. What you think about yourself is what truly matters.

1.women look good no matter how they look

2.social media is the platform where people get hurt the most they watch what they like and comment what they want without thinking about other's feelings

confidence is going against what is wrong even if it will make you look weird
you look fine the way you are others who say you look bad are just jealous

the beauty standards or subjective ,

-how the way you feel about your appearance effects you,

-what people are influenced by

social media gives you access to more information which would affect the way you think

3- feeling good about something you do

4- do things that you like to do

5- compliment them

1 . you should love yourself, beauty is subjective and the beauty standards change over time.

you will feel insecure and wonder why you aren't as pretty as them.
confidence is when you don't care about others opinions on you, don't judge yourself and feel positive about how you look and how you feel about yourself.
you can tell yourself that you look good regardless of what people say about you, start loving yourself by writing down things you love about yourself everyday like " i love my eyes because .. "
i would tell that all body types are beautiful and its okay to be different from others, it doesn't make you any less beautiful and they should love themselves.

I learned to be confident in my looks, don't let others determine if I'm ugly or pretty and that the definition of beautiful varies from person to person.
The amount of likes and comments you receive may either boost your self esteem and confidence or drag it down.
Someone who doesn't care what others say and is not brought down by mean remarks.
You can think positive thoughts and focus on other good qualities of yourself
Don't feel sad because of a couple of sour people are calling you names, there are 7 billion people in the world and at least 5 will find you beautiful.

3 key points I could take away from the two videos

1) We should not care about how others perceive our looks

2) Your moral values as a person are more important than your looks

3) Learn to love yourself

Social media can make you insecure about yourself and nasty comments from other people online can make you feel hurt
Confidence is accepting yourself and your appearance and not caring how others see you
Not caring about how others see me
Be kind to yourself, your values as a person are more important than how others see you

1.The three takeaways from the two videos is that the women have different styles of bodies especially in the olden days. I also think that teenagers think negatively because of the online comments about how their appearances are ugly. I also think that people should not care how their bodies are.

2.I think that social media gives good influences but also more bad influences to youtubers especially the teenagers.

3.Confidence looks like, you are feeling sure of yourself, your abilities, and your strengths.

I can think positively about myself and do not think like any negative thoughts.
I would say that you are perfect as the way they are and ask them to seek a counsellor if they really have to.

Womans ideal type of beauty changes over years, girls that don't have confidence are less likely to show up and to praise people because of the actions and not appearance
When influences post about themselves and in the comment section a lot of people praise her for her beauty i think that someone must look similar to her to be pretty
believe in themselves and not let other peoples opinions make them change their mind
start wearing things that are more comfortable rather then something that covers up the imperfections
show them the ideal beauty throughout the years as their body type may have been a ideal body type in the past

livia

2025-03-14 07:05:22 UTC

3 things I learned from the two videos

-all types of bodies are beautiful.

-we should not care about how people think of our appearances and think about what we do instead.

-teenagers specifically 13 year old teenagers should not care about their looks especially since they're still young

-I think social media influences people to feel insecure about themselves. For examples saying mean things to people online can make them feel hurt. And people also get jealous when they see 'beautiful people' online and they feel that they does not reach to their level of looks.

Confidence is something that people should be proud of themselves and what they do. They should not overthink often and ignore what others says about them.

I would advice a boy or girl who struggles with body confidence to tell them to be proud of their bodies and don't be disappointed with how you look and should love yourself just the way you are. because it doesn't matter what you look but it matters what you do.

khloe_poh_xuanen — 2025-03-14 07:05:32 UTC

beauty is subjective and changes over time so we should all love ourselves no matter how we look.
i think it influences me in a negative way. Most pictures nowadays posted online are edited, making young kids have the idea that one has to look like that to be considered as pretty, resulting in them being insecure about themselves.
confidence to me is loving yourself, and not letting anyone's words affect what you think about yourself.
give yourself daily affirmations, paste a baby picture of yourself on your mirror to remind yourself so that every time you think negatively you'll stop and turn it into something positive.
different people will always have different opinions about the way you look. Its important to love yourself as in the end, no one else matters anyway

I'm quite surprised woman who are not slender are also viewed as beauties in some eras!
I learnt that you don't have to feel so embarrassed just because you don't have the 'ideal' body. Everyone is unique!
Social media ALWAYS advocates the WRONG idea that only slender and fair-skinned women are beauties. :(
Confidence is when one is able to present themselves smoothly in front of others, regardless of what people comment.
I can compliment myself everyday and tell myself I am unique and good in my own way! :)
You are unique in your own way! You have neither reason nor need to please unreasonable people.

maviscx — 2025-03-14 07:05:50 UTC

beauty standards change over time. social media makes people think that you have to fit all the beauty standards like being skinny. confidence is being brave to wear and do whatever you want without being judged by others.

phoenix

phoenix_yeo_tzehsin — 2025-03-14 07:06:31 UTC

We shouldn't judge others appearance, fashion standards are not who you are, we should not judge people for how they look, but rather what they do
social media promotes unrealistic beauty standards to people
not being ashamed in the way you look
All body types are beautiful, just be yourself.

ling

ng_yi_hui_ling — 2025-03-14 07:08:53 UTC

Beauty is an important factor in daily life since ancient times.
Some people skip classes when they do not look like the best
Influencers post photos of unrealistic standards which some individuals consider it as the beauty standards and will compare themselves with others, creating extra pressure on them
Being comfortable with myself
don't compare myself with others and do what I like to do without worrying about others opinion
social media is not reality

-The beauty standards will change over time and different countries have different beauty standards.
-Don't change yourself just for the sake of the beauty standards around the world and the comments or opinions that you're getting from people. Each person has different strengths and potential.
-Focus on self-confidence instead of pushing yourself to the extreme as it will affect your mental health and sometimes further to even to your health.
People might have the ideal of what is trending around the countries or the world should look like, and it will slowly get influence by the fake and AI edited versions of the actual appearance.
Self-esteem and confident of themself no matter what other people thinks.
Ignore negativities
You're perfect the way you are :)

goh_betsy — 2025-03-14 07:15:47 UTC

start wearing things you like or don't need to cover face when taking picture

icup11 — 2025-03-14 07:17:26 UTC

1; appearance doesn't matter and comparing yourself to others and putting yourself down should never be an option

2; when people post on social media they edit themselves and when others see their post they wont confident and insecure, thinking that people out there really are on a different level of "beauty"

3; confidence is not the same as ego it is a mindset, where other's opinions or views on you wont affect your spirit.

4; i focus on the positive qualities on me and only focus on me

5; your appearance doesn't matter and your personality plays a big role. no one is focusing on your bad qualities as much as you think

Shana

Every type of body is beautiful. We should not judge others based on their appearance. we should should not feel insecure about our bodies
social media may make you insecure about your own bodies .
confident to me means that your are not insecure , happy with what you got, and worry free about what people think
you can look in the mirror and say i look very pretty.
i would tell them to maybe do things that might decrease their insecurities like maybe do some skincare or maybe workout or smth
