its always the lighting. most mirrors i have seen at least have a light abpve them so there is better lighting than when you look in the camera of your phone for example
Its mostly because the cameras already have a reversed image of a mirror on your screen so you see yourself the way others do, but in a mirror, the image is reversed and youre used to that image and on photos it looks strange if for example your hair goes the other direction
I used to be so self conscious when i was little. I used to wear huge ass sweaters and jackets in summer. FUCKING SUMMER! AND IN AUSTRALIA! And i was just a little girl in primary school. I remember my PE teacher saying ‘everyone has to take of their jackets or unnecessary clothing because its every hot and it could be dangerous’ and i was hiding in the back, not wanting to take off my jacket, finding it much better to get hot and sweat then feel ‘exposed’. The thing is I wasn’t even fat! Though I’m muchhhh more better now with my body now
Me too! When I’m at school and don’t look in the mirror the whole day, my self image is an acne monster with a hawk’s beak, huge forehead, triple chin with a giraffe’s neck, etc. But then I get home and I remember that I’m not a monster. That’s why I like looking in the mirror whenever I can, because sometimes it helps. But it sometimes brings me down too, so idk 😂
Mockingjay125 I totally feel that. When I don’t look in the mirror I feel like I have the body of Kermit the frog 😂 but when I look in the mirror sometimes it’s like...ick 😂 idk it’s like my best friend and worst enemy
@@Mockingjay125 Yes! Thats exactly what I thought. Also, when I look down at myself I feel so much more fat than when I look in the mirror. But thats a part of the experiment that I dont understand, she could still look down on herself!? Well I guess Im quite lucky with my face but my body has too much fat so without a mirror I just see the fat =D idk haha
Jacku Dark That’s how I am too! When I look in the mirror my thighs don’t look fat, but when I look down I see huge thighs. And same with my stomach! I thought I was the only one lol
I did this challenge, and lemme just say - once I saw myself after five days, I just stared for twenty minutes. It was like reuniting with a long lost friend. And I silently decided to be more gentle with my body.
Red_Hot_ Chilly_Freaking_Pepper okay okay she has a noice singing voice I agree, but we all know your lying when you say she has a "body of a beautiful human being" no one has a perfect body everyone isn't born perfect, also cut the bullshit man.
@@novarodriguez3307 oh no. I wasn't saying that she is literally perfect because i know there is no perfection. But by what i said i meant that altho she may see herself as ugly and such, she is not. I know how it feels to see yourself as fat ugly and so on. But many friends told me i look perfect actually even if i see a pinch of fat on my stomach. When they were saying i look perfect i started to doubt even more actually but somehow it made me stronger. So when i say she has the body of a beautiful human being i mean she is beautiful the way she is. No lie here ;)
@@novarodriguez3307 she or he just said 'beautiful' and beautiful has a different image for everyone, she/he didn't claim that her body is perfect, calm down
Wow she doesn’t have the body of an angle too?! Hey pal, thats my sister in law i need you to tell her she has the body of an angle so she doesnt have body issues anymore.
Aww her crying made me feel her pain, I’ve been there and it sucks. Also I’m proud of her cause she posted a recording of her crying which most of the people I know don’t like crying in front of people.
I hate crying in front of people I get so mad at myself when I do. I feel it makes me seem weak to others around. I listen to all of my friends problems but they don’t ever listen to mine ( one friend in general does this a lot ) I was talking to a friend that I have not seen in a while and I told her I felt I never stated names she never did this to me at all I started to cry and since we were on FaceTime I turned my camera around. I hate crying I feel weak and vulnerable and that I have nothing to cry about because there are people who have bigger problems than me and that I am being selfish
It’s funny because when I first saw you, I thought “wow she’s so beautiful.” Little did I recognize that you went through the same harsh thoughts as I did every time you looked in the mirror. It’s funny that I can’t remember the last time I called myself beautiful yet I could so easily say those words to someone else.
No. That is somebody’s real opinion of you. Try to let the compliments be louder than the voice in your head telling you the opposite because you are beautiful! 💕
Victor Cleemonts omg this is so true 🤭 i totally do this like all the time. i get really insecure after i hang out with people or have conversations. i overthink practically everything and i didn’t really realize that until i read this comment. crazy
Victor Cleemonts I’ve never related more. When I do that I literally think, how can I be different and mold my personality into something else? Just like people do with makeup and hair and clothes when they want to be perceived a certain way. I have to think of positive interactions I have and people who I think genuinely like me to remind myself I am not some annoying monster and just breathe, I always feel better the next day when I wake up. My favorite thing is genuinely feeling like I don’t care anymore and just decide to be me in the best way I can
“I didn’t love my body, I didn’t hate my body. It was just reality.” This is the place I’ve been at with my appearance for a long time. When I try to explain this to others they think I have low self-esteem. I don’t. I just accept that I have things that are more or less attractive by societal standards. We only have one vessel, like you said :)
This is exactly how I feel about myself. Like when I say I'm not pretty it means not pretty in people's standard. But i myself dont believe that beauty has a basis. They thought I'm not confident but I'm just stating a fact about how society look at people
Jinx Cortez And it doesn’t mean that you aren’t loved or admired by people. I’m sure that there are people who consider you beautiful, even if it’s because they know you better than others. There’s different kinds of beauty. Physical beauty is just not a priority.
When people talk about self love I often think that they are somewhat wrong. You don't have to love yourself and make yourself think you are the best. You just have to not hate yourself
For me surprisingly it is the opposite. When I don’t spend time in front of the mirror my self esteem goes down, I feel ‘little’ and weak and when I look in the mirror I get caught by surprise when I see this undeniably powerful face looking back at me. The more I spend time in front of the mirror the more confident I get and my skin starts to shine, it’s like I just need to acknowledge me. I call it mirror therapy. I do have a scoliosis, much worse than yours, this makes me feel uncomfortable looking at my body. I know if my body was even I would be happy even without a perfect figure.
Made me want to give her a reassuring hug… if ONLY one could take that “negative internal monologue” and send it packing for good! She is a wonderful, incredibly talented, at times funny and yes, beautiful young lady with so many of us cheering her onwards!
Okay, what?! I clicked on the video cause I have body dysmorphia, so I was intrigued. But when I heard that voice of yours, I WAS BAFFLED. LIKE WHAT?! YOU HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING VOICE!!
It's so sad that people think this way of themselves, we care so much about what other people think of how look and perceive ourselves. Every single person looks amazing with how they are, it's difficult to accept ourselves but it needs to be done. I wish I could do this but considering I have to shave every day for my job it's difficult.
The question by ryan implies he does not understand what you mean. It is a request for more explanation. Simply repeating the same words does not help, the words you typed the first time are still there; that's not the issue.
+Katie Hunter It certainly would, but we don't have control over that since a change in judgment it's a development that comes from within, and I guess we shouldn't even try to take away that from nobody. I think, as an individual, It's a good idea to just focus on the one judgamental change we have control over (our perception, not our care, over ourselves and over everbody else) No delay by looking at others, let them at their devices. WE accept those opinions are not the law, doesn't matter and YOU reading have the final decision about what pass and we discard the other. You're okay. And you will be if you let yourself in.
@Lars Flowereaper If your first comment was at Katie I think Ryan thought it was at him and if it was at him I'm guessing you maybe misunderstood his comment, the last phrase wasn't about what he previously said in his own comment but about the little experiment... the subject of the video. But Lars, I still totally agree with what you said 👍
I’d never had negative thoughts about myself until my teen years when kids started to tell me, no one will love you because you have this or that, now I just have things I’d like to change about myself all the time, every time I look in a mirror. This experiment is so intriguing to me.
Lana Bug yeah, someone told me i had something i didn't notice and now it's what i find myself being the most self conscious about. i even stopped wearing my favourite clothes because of this thing being obvious. i know i shouldn't but there is some surgery i want done when i'm older so i can feel better about myself.
Same, and now I feel like whenever someone comments something about me, for example about my double chin as a joke, it turns into a new insecurity so now I have lots of those just because of “insignificant” comments that people make
I mean everyone's like, "oh but you *are* beautiful though!" and I mean, I agree she's really pretty. But, I think it wouldn't make a difference even if she was ugly. I'm as guilty of this as anyone-- I place so much weight on my looks. I feel bad about my body and it really gets to me. I have as much work to do as anyone. But, it even if Malinda *was* ugly, it wouldn't make her accomplishments less brilliant, her vocal skill less incredible, or her personality less sweet. It wouldn't make her less intelligent or less worthy of love and respect. Maybe the problem is that we put too much weight on this otherwise pretty neutral physical attribute? Maybe the way to overcome feeling ugly isn't to reassure ourselves that we're beautiful really, but to try to deconstruct why it's made so disproportionately important?
Yesss dude, you're totally right. Just saved a whole lot of time for me to type that lol. Everyone's beautiful in their own way and there's no such a thing like omg 'youre just beauty' and 'uh huh yeah you're not..' Hate books or whatever where it's said: she wasn't beautiful but smth . Like wtf? How? It's all in our head, it's all smth that we think of ourselves that creates a self image. It's only you who can define anything about yourself, whether it's being beautiful/smart/cute etc
Mostly people want what others have .. When u will dive in it inner consciousness u will realise How we waste our time thinking any useless thoughts👍..It's difficult but achievable
@@tyrxian6452 Well, that's her original channel where she put all of her content. Now recently, she decide to make a second channel (which is this) to put her personal vlogs and original songs.
@@clara-yk9zd i was actually born with confidence and its amazing! I think i look pretty its just i dont like the way my body is(but that is related to gender dysphoria) i think im a pretty girl but i dont identify as a girl(i get its kind of confusing)(also if anyone is transphobic please just ignore this bc your transphobic comments arent going to do anything but waste your time have a nice day)edit: I am definetly not confident anymore lol
Then you must be really dissapointed because due to how genetics work there are actually no unique faces in the world, as statisticalyl at least a couple other people in the world will have identical face to yours. This turned out to be a rela challenge when creating facial recognition tech.
Strazdas oh! I’ve heard about this before, really cool fact by the way. When I wrote that I wasn’t focusing strictly on appearance though. You make a good point; I just meant that even with similar/same faces two (or more) people could still be completely different from one another in personality, style, etc. they would still be unique from one another.
Has anyone else ever gone home and recreated a face you might’ve made at school (to your crush or whatever) to see how you looked to them cause it bothered you for the rest of the day ? Edit: dudeee I didn’t realize that this many of you would be able to relate 😂 thanks for commenting , I love & relate to all of them . So just remember that we’re all human & though we’re unique, we can relate in so many ways 😂 Edit 2: aight so , I’m gonna give an unashamed shoutout to Jesus my lord & savior , I hope y’all know he’s real & we’ll all see him very soon. The book of revelations tells about the signs that are happening right now . So please repent and accept him ❤️ Please don’t be annoyed , I genuinely care about you guys and it’s just a warning 🙌
This is a kind of similar but yet different mirror story: You know, when i had a week long break from school i didn’t leave my house once. I was just always in my bed and never looked in the mirror. Side note, i always thought i’m the weirdest and ugliest looking human being and that’s why i didn’t feel the need to look at myself while washing face, brushing teeth because i was just so over my appearance. I just always ignored the mirror that week. But somehow, when that week was over and i finally decided to look at myself, there was actually no negative thing going through my mind. Because i’ve kind of had forgotten how I looked, I saw myself the way I would see other people. I saw flaws, but those were beautiful flaws like I always think about others. I saw a different me, someone I’ve always wanted to be and someone who matched my soul. But i’m already her so yeah that made me accept myself for who I am. Just because you think you’re ugly, doesn’t mean everyone does. The only cause why we keep hating our appearances is because we compare ourselves to everyone. Comparing yourself with others is like comparing two different kind of flowers. Both are just beautiful in their own way.
idk if you even care about guys but if you find someone who falls for you, all your imperfections just become cute things we love about you. my gf has a pinkie that stopped growing when she was a toddler, her eyes are different sizes, she has some scars (really cool and unique ones), etc etc but i just think it’s silly to imagine she’s insecure about them because i think she’s the most beautiful person i’ve ever known, inside and out
when my friends all go to the bathroom i wait outside for two reasons 1. so i don't stink like utter shite 2. so i can carry on going through my day in blissful ignorance of my monstrosity of an appearance

This is the first time I've ever commented on a RUclips video, but I had to write something for this. Malinda, your Google Translate Sings videos make me laugh even in my darkest depressions, your voice is beautiful, and most of the covers you choose to do have a powerful meaning. What made me stick around and jump over to Patreon to support though is your generosity and empathy in connecting with your audience, and also your humility and vulnerability. Through that vulnerability, you show great courage, which is exemplified in this video. Glad to see that you are allowing yourself to be you and continuing to explore that lifelong journey.
I don't know who that is or what she looks like so one moment while I look her up... she is quite pretty, but also looks kind of quite fake. Maybe it's just a lot of makeup, I don't know... but she gives me the impression of someone who has a public persona rather than just being themself. Anyway, yeah I can probably agree with you.
whenever I look in the mirror at school I either think "Wow did I really look like this all throughout class?" and cringe at myself or "hey... I'm not as ugly as I thought I was during class." it really depends on the day for me
Its funny that its mostly just ourselves that see everything wrong, for example when I look at you, I literally honestly genuinely cannot see any physical flaw if u could ever call anything that, you look normal and beautiful to me... Whereas with myself I can pick out a million things that I don't like about my appearance EDIT: 1K likes damn should I just quit uni now
One of the things I love about the millennial viewpoint is their ability to tell stories, true stories, personal stories that reveal truths about our experiences that lift us up. This platform can be used for bringing people up and putting people down... It seems to me this place is one that helps us look both inside and out but never down. Thanks.
Same!! I especially want to drop dead when I realize how flushed I look - then I drive to the next place with the air con on full blast and the windows all the way down even in winter just to freeze the glow away
*living without selfies is so much easier than living without a mirror* Like I literally haven't taken selfies in prolly 7-8 months........ But I can't avoid looking at my reflection in the mirror, car window , TV screen , phone screen..........etc......... Edit: thank you for the likes😉💜
Samruddhi Deshmukh i only take a selfie every like 7 months for profile pics. I hate people that say “I’m so ugly” “I hate how i look” but then feel comfortable to take selfies every other day like yeah okay bitch
Lol i literallu never take selfies. I don't understand why people have the need to do so. I never had my own face as a profile picture anywhere. Last time I took a picture of myself was for a drawing reference like 2 years ago. Tho I sometimes snap really close up pictures of my face with an expression to my best friend.
I always viewed you as being a very attractive person. You were beautiful talented and just from the videos seemed genuine and friendly. I hope this doesnt sound creepy or anything. But more as a reinforcement that people do find you beautiful for what you are. I have a far greater respect for you and find you more attractive now than before.
I always have said i would much rather prefer a woman with no make up to full make up. Everyone has insecurities and things they dont like about themselves. We need to build each other up instead of joking about their insecurities
In addition to that, women should know that what Hollywood and the fashion industry deems beautiful is subjective, and for some, isn't even attractive.
Not just women but guys as well. I've compared myself to the hollywood guy thinking I need to have 6 pack abs and super toned muscles in order for a women to find me attractive which is ridiculous to think. It's one thing to wanna be healthy and want to like what you look like. But trying to make yourself look like what Hollywood tell you is imossible.
I love how honest she was in this. She could’ve lied and said she’d been elated but her genuine message was way more useful for me. I think I’d also be neutral if I did this challenge ^-^
I made it 15 days Its very satisfying because you don’t care about your body and how others see you When you look to a miror after this you see that you are NORMAL you have beautiful points and bads aspects too LOVE YOURSELF
A mirror is not how others see us. A mirror is the only way to see a reflection of ourselves. It is just that, a reflection not the true self where we (and only we) have to reside with everyday. The light will never be the same as the second someone sees that version of yourself and we will never be in the same location of space. We don't control our chemistry, we only control how we react to our chemistry. Nobody reading this is alone. We live in an age where we can talk to millions of people without trying. If you have a negative feeling share it and you will not have to experience it in solitude. Just because we build a fortress doesn't mean others can't visit, even if it's virtually. As it was well put at the end. Take care of yourselves.
You are so right. I used to hate my body. I'm a girl, but I don't like makeup, I don't wear dresses or skirts if I can avoid it, i dont style my hair and just in general don't fit into the cookie cutter mould of a "girl". I would think I'm fat, I have too much acne, my teeth are crooked, you're lame. I began to focus on education as the source of my self confidence...but then I pushed myself too hard trying to prove to myself and to the world that I'm worth it. Of course then I thought I'm stupid, pathetic, weak. And it hurt like hell. I remember when I was getting a dress for the end of gr. 8 years back, I put on a dress that I thought looked nice on the hanger and started to bawl at how like a troll I looked. It hurts when you hate the body you're stuck in. I went through a whole war, and I've come to terms with a lot of things. I'm happy with myself now. Do I have flaws? Yes. But who doesn't? Am I beautiful? I think so. And so is everyone else in their own unique way. I've learned to live in the moment. I see the light of day and think it'll never shine in the exact same way again. I see people and think the next time we see each other we will be ever slightly different than before, so cherish then as they are now. And at the end how can I hate my body, when it allows me to be a physical part of this crazy and beautiful thing called earth? :)
It's quite inspiring to see someone to be authentically vulnerable in front of others. Those who you think that seem to never have a worry or never struggle. We all do. Every day I do. I kinda feel weird sometimes as a guy watching your videos sometimes 😅.. But you just have that uplifting, humorous, and joyful personality. Which helps. Then this video just shows. We all struggle with something. Should be building each other up. Not tearing each other down
me after not looking in the mirror for a week straight: *_The people I face everyday literally does not see how much of a beauty the person in the mirror is. My god_*
I hate looking at myself in the mirror. All I see is disgust and all my blemishes, how big my nose is and everything. Even my family judges me of how I look I don’t like mirrors because I see myself and how ugLy I am, but this video was so inspirational and I learned to forget what people think and love yourself💘
As a father/step father to two beautiful and amazing 13 year old ladies, and one 8 year old girl as well, this video has me in tears. You are a wonderful inspiration, both musically and otherwise. I hope you do some touring that leads you in our direction. Now I just need to figure out how to share this with my girls without sounding like “hi. Dad here. I really think you should check this out.......click” :)
Awww! You should sit down in the living area or somewhere where they're bound to run into you and watch the video on your phone or laptop. Maybe they'll be interested in knowing what their dad is watching.
Honestly just seeing a father figure commenting something like this is so comforting like most people would think parents don't care about how their children feel etc. but this just brought some hope back into the world. And you could maybe approach them by saying something like "Hey, I think it would be good if you saw this video... it could maybe help some time in the future?" or something :)
Becca Marie I’m sorry to hear that. My step kids lost their father 4 years ago as well. It has been my pleasure to try to pick up where he left off. By all accounts he was a great Dad.
No matter how “beautiful” you think someone is you never know what insecurities they are facing. We all have flaws. Nobody is perfect. The one person we can never get away from is ourselves so we need to learn to love ourselves no matter what. look at the good things and stop focusing so much on the negatives. Beauty isn’t only how our face/body looks. Inner beauty is just as powerful! Besides no matter how “good” you look if you have an ugly soul/personality than its just a waste. Be kind, spread love that’s true beauty💗 and ps: bashing yourself to uplift another person is not helping anyone.
When I’m in the school bathroom I don’t look at myself when I’m washing my hands and I just hear and kind of see how everyone else with their friends and I wait until everyone leaves then I look at myself and I just feel insecure when I do look
You are so beautiful. It is so easy to call yourself ugly bcs you don’t see yourself getting excited over little things, you don’t see yourself smiling when you see your bestfriend again after a long time. You don’t see yourself doing what makes you happy. You only see yourself sad and thinking about what’s ugly about you. But you look amazing!
Maybe a buzzkill, but a real answer is: humans in general pay more attention to anything dangerous or negative than pleasant or positive. We like the good stuff, but it's the bad stuff that can kill a caveman and that instinct is still hard wired in humanity. In general women hear the positive, but it's the few negative blips about their looks that instinct flags as threatening their situation with other people and keeps bombarding with flashing red mental lights.
I needed this. I literally needed this. I tend to avoid going places where I would meet people who know me only off the internet but haven't met me in real life because I'm afraid of that moment they would get disappointed. About me being more imperfect than the pictures that were actually good enough for me to post. You wouldn't believe the opportunities I miss in life because of this constant running away. Thank you for reminding me to face my fear
This was so inspirational. I really find that I’m always seeing the parts of my body that I really don’t like about my self, But when I’m not thinking of those things and I’m just in my room I don’t. This really helped how I see myself. Thank you!
I cried so much. I don’t like my body and this hit me so hard. You are gorgeous and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Thank you so much for making this. Love you so much!
Wow. I can relate to this. People say I'm pretty but I don't feel it. I know I'm overweight, but I'm stuck between two camps - people like my mom who say I need to lose weight for my health, and the body positivity side that say I'm fine the way I am. I'm tall so the weight's more evenly distributed, but I have problem areas too. As for makeup, I don't wear it on a daily basis. I tried when I was younger but I just didn't enjoy it. I have pretty clear skin but I know I should probably take better care of it but don't know how. Honestly the only thing I spend a lot of time on is my hair - sort of. I wash it every day and brush it really well. But I take showers at night so I just let it air dry. I don't even know how to style it or use a hair dryer. Still I can relate to thinking negatively about how I'm perceived. On top of my body, I have Asperger's as well as possibly anxiety, which can make it hard to interact with people, and I'm worrying about stuff all the time and trying to please people however I can. I have a hard time taking compliments and just have a negative mindset about everything. Thank you for being honest about this.
@Clara J I'm not sure if I'm considered obese for my height and age. I'd have to find out from my doctor. I have been getting more exercise lately (we moved and I now have to walk a mile to get to the nearest bus stop) so I imagine that helps a little. I have also made small changes to my diet (eating mostly whole wheat bread, light popcorn, diet soda) and I tend to eat small meals throughout the day (I joke that I eat like a hobbit LOL). I don't smoke, drink, chew, or do drugs and never have, so that helps my health obviously. There's probably more I could do. My health nut mom certainly thinks so. (My parents are doing the keto diet now. They invited me to do it, but I love bread too much to do anything low-carb).
I literally cried while watching this. I just realized how harsh I am to myself where in fact, I should be the first person to say to myself that I am beautiful no matter what others think of me.
I think its so crazy that people find them selves ugly. When I look at you I think that u are so beautiful honestly. We people are judging us way too much and we just can't stop comparing ourselves to others. These perfect people we see on social media are only like 0.0000000001% of the population. And I think after u make that clear to you and change your mind up to that u will feel beautiful. Dc about people opinions bc they might be beautiful from the outside but they are the most inside ugly people on earth. Love yourself and if u dont i do!
I'm so proud of you, Malinda. I always thought "Wow, Malinda is so beautiful." I rarely look into a mirror. But when I do, I try my best to keep those bad thoughts away. "You have glasses, doesn't that make you ugly?" "Wow, look at all those zits." "Braces? Eugh! "No wonder you're so shy. Ugly!" But then...I can hear that one positive thought. It's the one I turn to, the one I pay attention to. "Nobody has called you ugly yet. That means you aren't. How many photos of yourself have you complimented? Several! You are beautiful, Melissa. Don't listen to the others." I know I'm just a random stranger on the internet, but you're beautiful. I love your hair today :) You're not ugly, you're not stupid. You're amazing. Don't let the bad thoughts get to you. "No matter how bad they are, they're just thoughts!"-TheOdd1sOut, Life is Fun
Hey Melissa, I just read your comment & I want to add something to it : It's great that people didn't call you ugly and that they complemented your photos, but your value as a wonderful person doesn't depend on anyone's opinion ! Even if people would say mean words to you, it wouldn't change the fact that you are awesome and loved ! Loved exactly how you are by the lord, who is happy about seeing you every day ! That's something to really hold on and to keep in mind forever, because he will never stop loving you whereas other people's opinion is changing all the time. I wish you a wonderful day !
I had to smile when you said you liked my hair 😅, because today i didnt do anything with it and that doesnt mean its ugly so thanks. :) i love your hair too
Wow, a lot of likes on this comment. As well as positive replies! Thanks so much everyone! And Kaori Chan, I'm sure your hair is beautiful. I always keep my hair the same every day too, I never dye it or anything. Just plain old light brown hair a bit over shoulder length. Thanks for the positive comments everyone, love y'all!
Nice one Malinda. Good for you! 'Don't believe all the conclusions your mind comes to' was one maxim I brought out of 4 months in a mental health unit.

Mirrors are scary but bathrooms without mirrors are even scarier for some reason
luisachen Tell me about it!
Umm not really
Yeah I agree. Like you’re too alone.
My school bathroom 😂 those bastards removed the mirrors
Yeah it feels like unnatural it's so weird
Looks at herself in the mirror for the first time in a week: *Cries*
Me when i look in a mirror after i get home from 6 hours of school: *Cries*
Benny the bunny that is just so true
Ong im like oh hell naw did I really look like that
its bad that this is so relatable
I can relate so much
Same ;-;
Is it just me who thinks I look prettier on the mirror than I do on camera?
its always the lighting. most mirrors i have seen at least have a light abpve them so there is better lighting than when you look in the camera of your phone for example
YESSS!!
Its mostly because the cameras already have a reversed image of a mirror on your screen so you see yourself the way others do, but in a mirror, the image is reversed and youre used to that image and on photos it looks strange if for example your hair goes the other direction
Blingblang yT but in reality is there a perceivable difference in both images?
1mil times yes
Nobody is born ugly ... it’s society standards that decide what “ beauty” is ... Everybody is unique and that right there is BEAUTIFUL
Sadly majority of people only care about looks
Annie Fun agree
I'm agreed with u, I believe that we are the one who controls how people should think about us nothing else .
Eva Paula yesss sir/ma’m
օՐՐւՇւԳլ Γrοςτβιτε that is sad but true

She’s the type of best friend that everyone needs. 😔
You seem lonely ?
😪yeah
Facts !
Ya
I agree with you, I wish she was my friend
I miss my childhood days when i didn't care how i looked
Joonsexybrain right
this fucking hit hard
I used to be so self conscious when i was little. I used to wear huge ass sweaters and jackets in summer. FUCKING SUMMER! AND IN AUSTRALIA! And i was just a little girl in primary school. I remember my PE teacher saying ‘everyone has to take of their jackets or unnecessary clothing because its every hot and it could be dangerous’ and i was hiding in the back, not wanting to take off my jacket, finding it much better to get hot and sweat then feel ‘exposed’. The thing is I wasn’t even fat! Though I’m muchhhh more better now with my body now
Joonsexybrain Those were the days
@@pineapplesbringpain5243 I relate so much
New personal goal: whenever I look in the mirror and am flooded by negative thoughts, make fingerguns at myself and walk away.
Challenge accepted!!
He, i like doing a litte spin
Im doing this. Yes. Mhm.
Hmm yes
Ayy great idea lmao
I have terrible self image in my head and it’s not until I look in a mirror that I realize I’m not as unattractive as I think
Me too! When I’m at school and don’t look in the mirror the whole day, my self image is an acne monster with a hawk’s beak, huge forehead, triple chin with a giraffe’s neck, etc. But then I get home and I remember that I’m not a monster. That’s why I like looking in the mirror whenever I can, because sometimes it helps. But it sometimes brings me down too, so idk 😂
Mockingjay125 I totally feel that. When I don’t look in the mirror I feel like I have the body of Kermit the frog 😂 but when I look in the mirror sometimes it’s like...ick 😂 idk it’s like my best friend and worst enemy
Brianna Mucciante Exactly! It’s like having the angel and demon on your shoulders.
@@Mockingjay125 Yes! Thats exactly what I thought. Also, when I look down at myself I feel so much more fat than when I look in the mirror. But thats a part of the experiment that I dont understand, she could still look down on herself!? Well I guess Im quite lucky with my face but my body has too much fat so without a mirror I just see the fat =D idk haha
Jacku Dark That’s how I am too! When I look in the mirror my thighs don’t look fat, but when I look down I see huge thighs. And same with my stomach! I thought I was the only one lol
I did this challenge, and lemme just say - once I saw myself after five days, I just stared for twenty minutes. It was like reuniting with a long lost friend. And I silently decided to be more gentle with my body.
Wow
I would cry now!
Wow🥰🥰🥰
woah ❤️♥️❤️♥️
Dang I’m already crying..this made me cry more. Ha I hope you stuck with it.
She has the voice of an angel, body of a beautiful human being.
Red_Hot_ Chilly_Freaking_Pepper okay okay she has a noice singing voice I agree, but we all know your lying when you say she has a "body of a beautiful human being" no one has a perfect body everyone isn't born perfect, also cut the bullshit man.
@@novarodriguez3307 oh no. I wasn't saying that she is literally perfect because i know there is no perfection. But by what i said i meant that altho she may see herself as ugly and such, she is not. I know how it feels to see yourself as fat ugly and so on. But many friends told me i look perfect actually even if i see a pinch of fat on my stomach. When they were saying i look perfect i started to doubt even more actually but somehow it made me stronger. So when i say she has the body of a beautiful human being i mean she is beautiful the way she is. No lie here ;)
@@novarodriguez3307 she or he just said 'beautiful' and beautiful has a different image for everyone, she/he didn't claim that her body is perfect, calm down
@@novarodriguez3307 why so negative?
Wow she doesn’t have the body of an angle too?! Hey pal, thats my sister in law i need you to tell her she has the body of an angle so she doesnt have body issues anymore.
Aww her crying made me feel her pain, I’ve been there and it sucks. Also I’m proud of her cause she posted a recording of her crying which most of the people I know don’t like crying in front of people.
I hate crying in front of people I get so mad at myself when I do. I feel it makes me seem weak to others around. I listen to all of my friends problems but they don’t ever listen to mine ( one friend in general does this a lot ) I was talking to a friend that I have not seen in a while and I told her I felt I never stated names she never did this to me at all I started to cry and since we were on FaceTime I turned my camera around. I hate crying I feel weak and vulnerable and that I have nothing to cry about because there are people who have bigger problems than me and that I am being selfish
I hate crying in front of others because I think that makes me look weak.
Maybe they're tears of joy and acceptance?
You’re so genuinely naturally beautiful geez, you look like a movie character
Penelope Nealon exactly
And talented
That's a thought. What if there was a movie based on her? And this was one of the dialogues and songs that were part of it?
Hey, I'm Penelope too!
Like a badly made movie character 😂😂 she is average as fuck
It’s funny because when I first saw you, I thought “wow she’s so beautiful.” Little did I recognize that you went through the same harsh thoughts as I did every time you looked in the mirror. It’s funny that I can’t remember the last time I called myself beautiful yet I could so easily say those words to someone else.
If that's you on your profile pic, you are very beautiful 💛
SuShii AeLin u cute I like u
The person in the profile picture is so beautiful honestly
Yaa..that's human mind wandering around unnecessary thoughts..but it's great to control these thoughts..and once u did u are free 🤘
U guys are beautiful and still say these things what about us
When people call me pretty, I just think they're saying that cos they're trying to be nice.
Divine inside I feel the same way it just feels like lies
No. That is somebody’s real opinion of you. Try to let the compliments be louder than the voice in your head telling you the opposite because you are beautiful! 💕
Divine inside don’t we all
I think they're saying that because I'm so ugly that they are sorry about me
Me too. It's so hard to believe them. But you should
No one is born ugly,the problem is we live in a judgemental society

Alan Matković ? Ur mean as frick Jesus..
It’s ok if you think that ppl have opinions 😙😙
My negative thoughts come when I reflect on awkward conversations I've had. It's hard to look away from the mirror inside your head.
Victor Cleemonts omg this is so true 🤭 i totally do this like all the time. i get really insecure after i hang out with people or have conversations. i overthink practically everything and i didn’t really realize that until i read this comment. crazy
Victor Cleemonts I understand
Victor Cleemonts I’ve never related more. When I do that I literally think, how can I be different and mold my personality into something else? Just like people do with makeup and hair and clothes when they want to be perceived a certain way. I have to think of positive interactions I have and people who I think genuinely like me to remind myself I am not some annoying monster and just breathe, I always feel better the next day when I wake up. My favorite thing is genuinely feeling like I don’t care anymore and just decide to be me in the best way I can
that’s deep
Exactly
“I didn’t love my body, I didn’t hate my body. It was just reality.” This is the place I’ve been at with my appearance for a long time. When I try to explain this to others they think I have low self-esteem. I don’t. I just accept that I have things that are more or less attractive by societal standards. We only have one vessel, like you said :)
This is exactly how I feel about myself. Like when I say I'm not pretty it means not pretty in people's standard. But i myself dont believe that beauty has a basis. They thought I'm not confident but I'm just stating a fact about how society look at people
Jinx Cortez And it doesn’t mean that you aren’t loved or admired by people. I’m sure that there are people who consider you beautiful, even if it’s because they know you better than others. There’s different kinds of beauty. Physical beauty is just not a priority.
Yes exactly. I have lots of friends who love me.
When people talk about self love I often think that they are somewhat wrong. You don't have to love yourself and make yourself think you are the best. You just have to not hate yourself
William Fugere I think it’s best to consider yourself as having value, but never putting it above others. We all have inherent value as human beings
For me surprisingly it is the opposite. When I don’t spend time in front of the mirror my self esteem goes down, I feel ‘little’ and weak and when I look in the mirror I get caught by surprise when I see this undeniably powerful face looking back at me. The more I spend time in front of the mirror the more confident I get and my skin starts to shine, it’s like I just need to acknowledge me. I call it mirror therapy.
I do have a scoliosis, much worse than yours, this makes me feel uncomfortable looking at my body. I know if my body was even I would be happy even without a perfect figure.
Even if you have had scoliosis I don't think that makes you any less beautiful,I think it makes you more authentic and more interesting
I feel the same way 💗 the mirror makes me feel confident

Okay, what?! I clicked on the video cause I have body dysmorphia, so I was intrigued. But when I heard that voice of yours, I WAS BAFFLED. LIKE WHAT?! YOU HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING VOICE!!
♥
OMG I was checking if anyone commented on her voice I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT
It's so beautiful 💕❤
she is a singer. that should explain it.
You guys don't know her other channel with the google translated songs?
l o v e b o o k s f a n d o m No I don’t. I’ll have to check it out!
It's so sad that people think this way of themselves, we care so much about what other people think of how look and perceive ourselves. Every single person looks amazing with how they are, it's difficult to accept ourselves but it needs to be done. I wish I could do this but considering I have to shave every day for my job it's difficult.
It would be a lot easier if judgey people would stop acting as if their opinions were law.
@Lars Flowereaper another point of view?
The question by ryan implies he does not understand what you mean. It is a request for more explanation. Simply repeating the same words does not help, the words you typed the first time are still there; that's not the issue.
+Katie Hunter It certainly would, but we don't have control over that since a change in judgment it's a development that comes from within, and I guess we shouldn't even try to take away that from nobody.
I think, as an individual, It's a good idea to just focus on the one judgamental change we have control over (our perception, not our care, over ourselves and over everbody else) No delay by looking at others, let them at their devices. WE accept those opinions are not the law, doesn't matter and YOU reading have the final decision about what pass and we discard the other. You're okay. And you will be if you let yourself in.
@Lars Flowereaper If your first comment was at Katie I think Ryan thought it was at him and if it was at him I'm guessing you maybe misunderstood his comment, the last phrase wasn't about what he previously said in his own comment but about the little experiment... the subject of the video. But Lars, I still totally agree with what you said 👍
I’d never had negative thoughts about myself until my teen years when kids started to tell me, no one will love you because you have this or that, now I just have things I’d like to change about myself all the time, every time I look in a mirror. This experiment is so intriguing to me.
HIFUMI AND DOPPOOOO
Lana Bug yeah, someone told me i had something i didn't notice and now it's what i find myself being the most self conscious about. i even stopped wearing my favourite clothes because of this thing being obvious. i know i shouldn't but there is some surgery i want done when i'm older so i can feel better about myself.
This is so relatable to me
Same, and now I feel like whenever someone comments something about me, for example about my double chin as a joke, it turns into a new insecurity so now I have lots of those just because of “insignificant” comments that people make
Nobody's ugly, we just live in a judgemental society
-knj 💜
This girl is so freaking beautiful, inside and outside. I’m shook.
I mean everyone's like, "oh but you *are* beautiful though!" and I mean, I agree she's really pretty. But, I think it wouldn't make a difference even if she was ugly. I'm as guilty of this as anyone-- I place so much weight on my looks. I feel bad about my body and it really gets to me. I have as much work to do as anyone. But, it even if Malinda *was* ugly, it wouldn't make her accomplishments less brilliant, her vocal skill less incredible, or her personality less sweet. It wouldn't make her less intelligent or less worthy of love and respect.
Maybe the problem is that we put too much weight on this otherwise pretty neutral physical attribute? Maybe the way to overcome feeling ugly isn't to reassure ourselves that we're beautiful really, but to try to deconstruct why it's made so disproportionately important?
Yesss dude, you're totally right. Just saved a whole lot of time for me to type that lol.
Everyone's beautiful in their own way and there's no such a thing like omg 'youre just beauty' and 'uh huh yeah you're not..'
Hate books or whatever where it's said: she wasn't beautiful but smth . Like wtf? How?
It's all in our head, it's all smth that we think of ourselves that creates a self image. It's only you who can define anything about yourself, whether it's being beautiful/smart/cute etc

In my opinion "Beauty means Uniqueness"
that everyone has..
Muna Attaria I like this comment. uniqueness should be the definition of beauty
Then you must be really dissapointed because due to how genetics work there are actually no unique faces in the world, as statisticalyl at least a couple other people in the world will have identical face to yours. This turned out to be a rela challenge when creating facial recognition tech.
Strazdas oh! I’ve heard about this before, really cool fact by the way. When I wrote that I wasn’t focusing strictly on appearance though. You make a good point; I just meant that even with similar/same faces two (or more) people could still be completely different from one another in personality, style, etc. they would still be unique from one another.

Oh good I thought it was just me
This is a kind of similar but yet different mirror story:
You know, when i had a week long break from school i didn’t leave my house once. I was just always in my bed and never looked in the mirror. Side note, i always thought i’m the weirdest and ugliest looking human being and that’s why i didn’t feel the need to look at myself while washing face, brushing teeth because i was just so over my appearance. I just always ignored the mirror that week. But somehow, when that week was over and i finally decided to look at myself, there was actually no negative thing going through my mind. Because i’ve kind of had forgotten how I looked, I saw myself the way I would see other people. I saw flaws, but those were beautiful flaws like I always think about others. I saw a different me, someone I’ve always wanted to be and someone who matched my soul. But i’m already her so yeah that made me accept myself for who I am. Just because you think you’re ugly, doesn’t mean everyone does. The only cause why we keep hating our appearances is because we compare ourselves to everyone. Comparing yourself with others is like comparing two different kind of flowers. Both are just beautiful in their own way.
the ending was so cute! i want to quote it.

This is the first time I've ever commented on a RUclips video, but I had to write something for this. Malinda, your Google Translate Sings videos make me laugh even in my darkest depressions, your voice is beautiful, and most of the covers you choose to do have a powerful meaning. What made me stick around and jump over to Patreon to support though is your generosity and empathy in connecting with your audience, and also your humility and vulnerability. Through that vulnerability, you show great courage, which is exemplified in this video. Glad to see that you are allowing yourself to be you and continuing to explore that lifelong journey.

Both with what you said and what David said.
You should comment more often :)
That’s better wording than most of my new book! However, you’ve already been through school.
Is it just me or does she look way more beautiful than even Kylie jenner?
I don't know who that is or what she looks like so one moment while I look her up... she is quite pretty, but also looks kind of quite fake. Maybe it's just a lot of makeup, I don't know... but she gives me the impression of someone who has a public persona rather than just being themself. Anyway, yeah I can probably agree with you.
Not just you.
whenever I look in the mirror at school I either think "Wow did I really look like this all throughout class?" and cringe at myself or "hey... I'm not as ugly as I thought I was during class." it really depends on the day for me

One of the things I love about the millennial viewpoint is their ability to tell stories, true stories, personal stories that reveal truths about our experiences that lift us up.

This has such a beautiful message!💞❤️ No one is perfect, despite your "flaws" you are beautiful!
Ameliazing Evansane The message is there are no flaws. Flaws are misperceptions of what others think of you.
@@taoist32 I wasn't saying that's what the message was....but thanks?
Maybe "flaws" in quotation marks perhaps?
I always viewed you as being a very attractive person. You were beautiful talented and just from the videos seemed genuine and friendly.
I hope this doesnt sound creepy or anything. But more as a reinforcement that people do find you beautiful for what you are. I have a far greater respect for you and find you more attractive now than before.
I was thinking pretty much the same thing verbatim.
I always have said i would much rather prefer a woman with no make up to full make up. Everyone has insecurities and things they dont like about themselves. We need to build each other up instead of joking about their insecurities
In addition to that, women should know that what Hollywood and the fashion industry deems beautiful is subjective, and for some, isn't even attractive.
Not just women but guys as well.
I've compared myself to the hollywood guy thinking I need to have 6 pack abs and super toned muscles in order for a women to find me attractive which is ridiculous to think.
It's one thing to wanna be healthy and want to like what you look like. But trying to make yourself look like what Hollywood tell you is imossible.
When I see myself in mirror, I fall in love with myself daily.
Same I’m auto sexual which means I’m attracted to myself... ik wierd but it’s how I have always been so idrc
That is so nice, I wish I could say the same

Whenever I see mirror I look for flaws and get anxiety so I am avoiding it
I love how honest she was in this. She could’ve lied and said she’d been elated but her genuine message was way more useful for me. I think I’d also be neutral if I did this challenge ^-^
I made it 15 days
Its very satisfying because you don’t care about your body and how others see you
When you look to a miror after this you see that you are NORMAL
you have beautiful points and bads aspects too
LOVE YOURSELF
-shes pretty
-she can sing

-she is body GOALS

Charlotte1234123 “she is body goals” ? you’re missing the point of the video
Kierstyn Pelt I know right! That’s what I was thinking.
Dj khaled🤣
her singing is perfect!! ♥
This is such a beautiful message, and i know someone that really needs to see this, thank you!!
A mirror is not how others see us. A mirror is the only way to see a reflection of ourselves. It is just that, a reflection not the true self where we (and only we) have to reside with everyday. The light will never be the same as the second someone sees that version of yourself and we will never be in the same location of space. We don't control our chemistry, we only control how we react to our chemistry.
Nobody reading this is alone. We live in an age where we can talk to millions of people without trying. If you have a negative feeling share it and you will not have to experience it in solitude. Just because we build a fortress doesn't mean others can't visit, even if it's virtually.
As it was well put at the end. Take care of yourselves.
aww
You are so right. I used to hate my body. I'm a girl, but I don't like makeup, I don't wear dresses or skirts if I can avoid it, i dont style my hair and just in general don't fit into the cookie cutter mould of a "girl". I would think I'm fat, I have too much acne, my teeth are crooked, you're lame. I began to focus on education as the source of my self confidence...but then I pushed myself too hard trying to prove to myself and to the world that I'm worth it. Of course then I thought I'm stupid, pathetic, weak. And it hurt like hell. I remember when I was getting a dress for the end of gr. 8 years back, I put on a dress that I thought looked nice on the hanger and started to bawl at how like a troll I looked. It hurts when you hate the body you're stuck in.
I went through a whole war, and I've come to terms with a lot of things. I'm happy with myself now. Do I have flaws? Yes. But who doesn't? Am I beautiful? I think so. And so is everyone else in their own unique way.
I've learned to live in the moment. I see the light of day and think it'll never shine in the exact same way again. I see people and think the next time we see each other we will be ever slightly different than before, so cherish then as they are now. And at the end how can I hate my body, when it allows me to be a physical part of this crazy and beautiful thing called earth? :)

Adam Sherlock dude this is so well said and very uplifting.
Thanks for saying this
The bit where she looked back in the mirror I nearly cried 😢 idk why this video touched me deeply ❤
I cried aswell...it touched deeply because is true...I'm the same.
I think I sort of cried a little
I'm such a softie
The world needs sensitive hearts like yours.
I cried a little too. Here, have a hug. *hugs you*
Glad I'm not the only one❤
It's okay, sweetheart. So did I.
Same I wish I could learn to love myself and not feel disgusted with my body
It's quite inspiring to see someone to be authentically vulnerable in front of others. Those who you think that seem to never have a worry or never struggle.
We all do. Every day I do.
I kinda feel weird sometimes as a guy watching your videos sometimes 😅..
But you just have that uplifting, humorous, and joyful personality. Which helps.
Then this video just shows. We all struggle with something. Should be building each other up. Not tearing each other down
Watching this made me want to look in a mirror 🤔
MOSINO/ exactly lol
MOSINO/
Watching This made Me about the mirror lol😂
*This girl is so extremely beautiful her energy and looks come together and made her art.*
Just going a day without seeing yourself is weird, cause you just catch a glimpse of your reflection and go "oh yeah i look a certain way lmao"
Right? When I came home from school I look in the mirror and I'm like omg I forgot what I looked like
me after not looking in the mirror for a week straight: *_The people I face everyday literally does not see how much of a beauty the person in the mirror is. My god_*
I hate looking at myself in the mirror.
All I see is disgust and all my blemishes, how big my nose is and everything.
Even my family judges me of how I look
I don’t like mirrors because I see myself and how ugLy I am, but this video was so inspirational and I learned to forget what people think and love yourself💘
Im sure you both are beautiful dont let anyone tell you any different:)
You beautiful and your family are mean ppl
As a father/step father to two beautiful and amazing 13 year old ladies, and one 8 year old girl as well, this video has me in tears.
You are a wonderful inspiration, both musically and otherwise. I hope you do some touring that leads you in our direction.
Now I just need to figure out how to share this with my girls without sounding like “hi. Dad here. I really think you should check this out.......click” :)
Awww! You should sit down in the living area or somewhere where they're bound to run into you and watch the video on your phone or laptop. Maybe they'll be interested in knowing what their dad is watching.
Honestly just seeing a father figure commenting something like this is so comforting like most people would think parents don't care about how their children feel etc. but this just brought some hope back into the world. And you could maybe approach them by saying something like "Hey, I think it would be good if you saw this video... it could maybe help some time in the future?" or something :)
Ian Markley I lost my father when I was so little. This makes my heart so happy. ❤️❤️
Becca Marie I’m sorry to hear that. My step kids lost their father 4 years ago as well. It has been my pleasure to try to pick up where he left off. By all accounts he was a great Dad.
I glad you're girls have a dad like you! I would do anything for that
Malinda: *not looking at mirrors for five days*
The phone screen when the phone is off: aight, i'mma ruin this man's whole career.
No matter how “beautiful” you think someone is you never know what insecurities they are facing. We all have flaws. Nobody is perfect. The one person we can never get away from is ourselves so we need to learn to love ourselves no matter what. look at the good things and stop focusing so much on the negatives. Beauty isn’t only how our face/body looks. Inner beauty is just as powerful! Besides no matter how “good” you look if you have an ugly soul/personality than its just a waste. Be kind, spread love that’s true beauty💗 and ps: bashing yourself to uplift another person is not helping anyone.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate her eyebrows and aMAZING voice?
Bruh some of us haven't left our rooms for days.
Meee
random videos one of the walls in my room is a mirror like a whole ass mirror lmao
Meeeeeeee
Meee🧟♀️
Me
Am I the only one who covers their face when they pass a mirror so you can’t see yourself💀
no i do too
ChLoE Bowers me everyday
I do that a lot
Nice profile pic 😂
When I’m in the school bathroom I don’t look at myself when I’m washing my hands and I just hear and kind of see how everyone else with their friends and I wait until everyone leaves then I look at myself and I just feel insecure when I do look
You are so beautiful. It is so easy to call yourself ugly bcs you don’t see yourself getting excited over little things, you don’t see yourself smiling when you see your bestfriend again after a long time. You don’t see yourself doing what makes you happy. You only see yourself sad and thinking about what’s ugly about you. But you look amazing!
When you were crying, I litterally wanted to hug you🥺
I respect you for keeping this video about the message and not making it cry-on-video-for-pity-likes. It really sends out the message more.
What is she talking about? Shes so pretty !!
I love your profile pic
I think the same and I'm a plastic surgeon.. People are just crazy
we all gi theought shit the same way u do we just tend to not understand we all have sth in common
yeah, but that’s from others eyes and she thinks that she isn’t pretty. reflections are a bit evil.
Maybe a buzzkill, but a real answer is: humans in general pay more attention to anything dangerous or negative than pleasant or positive. We like the good stuff, but it's the bad stuff that can kill a caveman and that instinct is still hard wired in humanity. In general women hear the positive, but it's the few negative blips about their looks that instinct flags as threatening their situation with other people and keeps bombarding with flashing red mental lights.
I needed this. I literally needed this. I tend to avoid going places where I would meet people who know me only off the internet but haven't met me in real life because I'm afraid of that moment they would get disappointed. About me being more imperfect than the pictures that were actually good enough for me to post. You wouldn't believe the opportunities I miss in life because of this constant running away. Thank you for reminding me to face my fear

So many positive comments! You are beautiful, inside and out. Thank you for your time and this smart film.
This was so inspirational. I really find that I’m always seeing the parts of my body that I really don’t like about my self, But when I’m not thinking of those things and I’m just in my room I don’t. This really helped how I see myself. Thank you!
I love the “out of water/sunset”, very beautiful
I cried so much. I don’t like my body and this hit me so hard. You are gorgeous and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Thank you so much for making this. Love you so much!
Wow. I can relate to this. People say I'm pretty but I don't feel it. I know I'm overweight, but I'm stuck between two camps - people like my mom who say I need to lose weight for my health, and the body positivity side that say I'm fine the way I am. I'm tall so the weight's more evenly distributed, but I have problem areas too.
As for makeup, I don't wear it on a daily basis. I tried when I was younger but I just didn't enjoy it. I have pretty clear skin but I know I should probably take better care of it but don't know how. Honestly the only thing I spend a lot of time on is my hair - sort of. I wash it every day and brush it really well. But I take showers at night so I just let it air dry. I don't even know how to style it or use a hair dryer.
Still I can relate to thinking negatively about how I'm perceived. On top of my body, I have Asperger's as well as possibly anxiety, which can make it hard to interact with people, and I'm worrying about stuff all the time and trying to please people however I can. I have a hard time taking compliments and just have a negative mindset about everything.
Thank you for being honest about this.
Mizusenshi Same!!!!
@Clara J I'm not sure if I'm considered obese for my height and age. I'd have to find out from my doctor. I have been getting more exercise lately (we moved and I now have to walk a mile to get to the nearest bus stop) so I imagine that helps a little. I have also made small changes to my diet (eating mostly whole wheat bread, light popcorn, diet soda) and I tend to eat small meals throughout the day (I joke that I eat like a hobbit LOL). I don't smoke, drink, chew, or do drugs and never have, so that helps my health obviously. There's probably more I could do. My health nut mom certainly thinks so. (My parents are doing the keto diet now. They invited me to do it, but I love bread too much to do anything low-carb).
Well at least people call you pretty.
Mizusenshi you just explained me
Bailey Smith love ur pfp
"It was just a reality." I love that! Finding peace in reality instead of trying to constantly fight against it or wishing for something else.
I literally cried while watching this. I just realized how harsh I am to myself where in fact, I should be the first person to say to myself that I am beautiful no matter what others think of me.
I think its so crazy that people find them selves ugly. When I look at you I think that u are so beautiful honestly. We people are judging us way too much and we just can't stop comparing ourselves to others. These perfect people we see on social media are only like 0.0000000001% of the population. And I think after u make that clear to you and change your mind up to that u will feel beautiful. Dc about people opinions bc they might be beautiful from the outside but they are the most inside ugly people on earth.
Love yourself and if u dont i do!
Ugly people don't exist... only gorgerous and normal fellas.

*_Are you sure about that?_*
I’m saying this as a broad statement: how would we categorize beautiful if we didn’t have a standard of ugly?

Crazed Directioner exactly
I'm so proud of you, Malinda. I always thought "Wow, Malinda is so beautiful." I rarely look into a mirror. But when I do, I try my best to keep those bad thoughts away.
"You have glasses, doesn't that make you ugly?"
"Wow, look at all those zits."
"Braces? Eugh!
"No wonder you're so shy. Ugly!"
But then...I can hear that one positive thought. It's the one I turn to, the one I pay attention to.
"Nobody has called you ugly yet. That means you aren't. How many photos of yourself have you complimented? Several! You are beautiful, Melissa. Don't listen to the others."
I know I'm just a random stranger on the internet, but you're beautiful. I love your hair today :)
You're not ugly, you're not stupid. You're amazing. Don't let the bad thoughts get to you. "No matter how bad they are, they're just thoughts!"-TheOdd1sOut, Life is Fun
Hey Melissa, I just read your comment & I want to add something to it :
It's great that people didn't call you ugly and that they complemented your photos, but your value as a wonderful person doesn't depend on anyone's opinion ! Even if people would say mean words to you, it wouldn't change the fact that you are awesome and loved ! Loved exactly how you are by the lord, who is happy about seeing you every day !
That's something to really hold on and to keep in mind forever, because he will never stop loving you whereas other people's opinion is changing all the time.
I wish you a wonderful day !
I had to smile when you said you liked my hair 😅, because today i didnt do anything with it and that doesnt mean its ugly so thanks. :) i love your hair too
Wow, a lot of likes on this comment. As well as positive replies! Thanks so much everyone! And Kaori Chan, I'm sure your hair is beautiful. I always keep my hair the same every day too, I never dye it or anything. Just plain old light brown hair a bit over shoulder length. Thanks for the positive comments everyone, love y'all!
My name is also Melissa and I also have those negative thoughts even if I don’t look in a mirror so I’m with you
But what if people do call you ugly? :( the thoughts are valid
Got this vid in my recommendations out of no where and now I'm crying.
Nice one Malinda. Good for you! 'Don't believe all the conclusions your mind comes to' was one maxim I brought out of 4 months in a mental health unit.
