When I was around 18, I looked in the mirror and said, 'You're either going to love yourself or hate yourself.' And I decided to love myself. That changed a lot of things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.
I feel like I appreciate and love myself a lot more than I used to. At one point, I would look in the mirror; I just hated what I saw... and finally, when I was 17, I built some confidence, and now I try to keep that confidence going.
I used to hate looking in the mirror. I've grown up into myself and now I'm happy with the way I look.
I like myself a lot more than I used to. I had a very difficult time in my twenties especially. It was hard for me to look in the mirror and find something that I liked about myself.
In high school, I had a really difficult time just loving myself. It's weird; I feel like in the world we live in today, you're not supposed to be like, 'I'm beautiful,' like that's a conceited thing to say.
I suffered from self hatred so much. It's like I didn't want to look like that any more. I didn't to feel like that any more. It had to be another way.
I've had moments of deep self-involvement that didn't come from a place of loving myself but quite the opposite.
I had self-esteem issues into my early 20s.
I hated myself for so many reasons, and I thought so many things were my fault that happened to me growing up.
I was taught as a young child by my parents and family to love myself.
