The thing a lot of people don't realise is: It isn't how you look, it's how confident you are in how you look. That's what people pick up on. When you're walking around somewhere, people will give you a cursory glance, at the most. The vast majority have too much going on in their lives to pay too much heed to someone else.
But people do pick up on body language. It's an evolutionary thing. If someone looks furtive, and like they have something to hide... like they want to shrink away into nothingness and wish nothing more than that no one would ever look at them, then that's one of the first things to draw the eye. It's a subconscious feeling of being threatened. And that sends alarm bells ringing through the brain.
"Why is that person trying to hide? What are they trying to hide? Should I be concerned? Is it a threat to my safety?" These are the subconscious messages that go through peoples' heads. And ones that cause them to scrutinise a person more than they maybe otherwise would do.
Sweetie, you are beautiful. Own yourself. Believe in yourself. And like ripples in a pond it will radiate outwards. The way you are is equally as important, if not moreso, than how you look. Are you improving? Well, how do you feel about yourself? How do you feel within yourself? That should give you some answers
*extra big hug*
