Love this! I was trying to explain that women have higher expectations in society, and he just couldn't seem to understand. I don't categorize myself as a self-conscious person, but there are times I compare myself to others more than I should. It has been completely normalized. I also do my best to turn that into admiration. Once I got in the habit of forcing myself to be happy for another girl, I truly started becoming happier for others. It really has contributed to all of the confidence I have today. Your growth is inspiring!! <3
