Recently, I caught myself thinking that sometimes I look in the mirror and see only flaws. Either my hair is not the way I would like it to be, or my dress doesn’t fit me right. But it’s not just about appearance, right? These little things reflect much more — my inner doubts and fears. And it’s at such moments that I begin to think that something is wrong with me, that perhaps I’m not as smart or interesting as I would like to be.

These thoughts, like shadows, follow me at work, in communication with people. I’m afraid to take the initiative, fearing that I will not be understood or rejected. When I see other girls who find it so easy to get along with men, I can’t help but compare myself to them. And this is one of the hardest feelings to feel — comparison, which always makes us feel less worthy.

But you know what? Deep down, I know that these doubts are just obstacles that I create for myself. Each of us is unique. And we all deserve love, no matter what we look like or how successful we are in our endeavors. I try to remind myself every day that my worth is not measured in comparison to others. That love begins with accepting myself for who I am.

What about you? Have you ever had moments when doubts took over your thoughts? How do you deal with them? And what is important to you in a woman so that she seems worthy of love and respect?
