6 things you should never be insecure about
(Click the picture if you'd prefer to watch or listen on YouTube.)
Let me start with a question: When was the last time you apologized for something that wasn’t even your fault? Seriously, think about it. Too often, we let insecurities creep in, making us feel smaller, quieter, or less than what we are. But guess what? A lot of the things we’re insecure about—things society or random opinions have convinced us are "flaws"—are actually things we should own, celebrate, and never waste a second worrying about.
So today, let’s talk about the things you should never be insecure about, starting with...
1. Your Natural Body Shape
First up, your body. Whether you’re curvy, slim, muscular, petite, tall, short, or anything in between, your body shape is not something to apologize for or "fix." Society’s idea of the “perfect body” changes more often than fashion trends. One minute it’s all about the hourglass, the next it’s "thin is in," and tomorrow it’ll be something else entirely. You can’t win that game, so stop playing it. Instead, focus on what your body can do—whether it’s dancing, running, lifting, or simply keeping you alive every single day. Celebrate it, because there’s only one version of your body in the world, and it’s yours.
2. Your Personality Quirks
Are you loud? A little too quiet? Overly excited about niche topics like K-pop or conspiracy theories about space? That’s called having a personality. Own it. You don’t have to mold yourself into what’s considered “normal” just to fit in. The truth is, people who try to blend in often end up fading into the background. Your quirks are what make you memorable, relatable, and genuinely fun to be around. So, whether you’re the one cracking bad jokes or you’d rather be silently observing the chaos, just know that your vibe is valid.
3. Your Skin
Oh, this one’s big. Acne, scars, stretch marks, cellulite, freckles—let me tell you something: nobody’s skin is perfect. Even the people you see on Instagram don’t look like that in real life. Filters, angles, and edits are a thing, and they’re fooling everyone. Skin is meant to be real—it has texture, it has changes, and that’s 100% normal. Don’t feel the need to cake on makeup or hide every little mark because someone once told you that flawless skin is the standard. Confidence is the real glow-up, not perfection.
4. Your Intelligence or Interests
Let’s get one thing clear: Being “smart” isn’t about knowing everything; it’s about being curious and open to learning. So if you don’t know the capital of Lithuania or you’re not great at math, who cares? No one is born a genius. And speaking of interests, if you’re obsessed with something super specific—whether it’s astrology, anime, or the Kardashians—don’t let anyone make you feel stupid for it. Passion is attractive. People who shame others for their interests? Not so much.
5. Not Being "On" All the Time
Here’s a harsh truth: You’re not a performing monkey. You don’t have to be happy, bubbly, or social 24/7 just to keep people around. Some days, you’re gonna be tired. Some days, you’re not gonna feel like talking. And that’s okay. Anyone worth having in your life will understand that. Feeling the need to constantly prove your worth by being overly "on" is exhausting and, quite frankly, unnecessary.
6. Your Relationship Status
Single? Taken? Situationship-ing? Who cares? Your value isn’t defined by your relationship status. If you’re single, it doesn’t mean you’re “missing out” or “not enough.” If you’re in a relationship, you’re not obligated to have everything look perfect for Instagram. Focus on building a life you love, with or without a partner. Spoiler alert: Loving yourself is the real relationship goal.
Here’s the bottom line: Insecurities thrive on comparison, and comparison is a trap. Every single one of us has something we could nitpick about ourselves, but why waste the energy? Instead, focus on what makes you you—because that’s the stuff no one else can replicate.
So next time you catch yourself spiraling about something you think is a flaw, stop and ask yourself: Who told me this is a problem? And why should I care? Chances are, the only person judging you is... you. And honestly? You deserve better than that.
Remember, the goal isn’t to be perfect—it’s to be unapologetically yourself. And that? That’s the kind of energy the world needs more of.
So, to all the self-assured queens watching this, keep slaying, stay confident, and never let anyone—including yourself—dim your shine. You’ve got this.
