    I was always made fun of for being short. I would get really down about it. I talked to my mom a lot who is only 5ft tall. She had so much good advice for me. When someone makes fun of you for being short just respond back with “thanks you! You’re soooo tall!” Like what the world am I supposed to do about it. We are all made differently!

    I’m so impressed be how Alicia is really digging in and getting to really grow within herself. I was abused physically and emotionally as a child for 10 years by 4 family members and till this day I still have problems. It’s almost like I’m stuck as that little girl. And no matter what, I can’t not forget. But the best thing I know about myself is “I’m trying “ and as a 53 year old I’ve made so many mistakes with friends and family. I have a 23 year old son and I have to be honest, I thank God everyday for his father, and my family because I couldn’t get out of bed. I couldn’t be the mother that I
    Wanted to be because of my past. I was afraid to change his diaper, give him a bath, see him naked because I thought I was doing something wrong. But I realize now that it wasn’t me, it was my past. I would never have hurt him in any way. It stopped with this generation. No more ! I eventually started to to finally be a mother after my last attempt At suicide, his friends asked him why I tried to kill myself and he didn’t go to school or go outside at all. At that moment, I realized that I’m a mother and I will not let my son become depressed or anxious, and have to live that way. I finally talked to him at the age of 12 about my life. And I was completely honest about it. He was an older 12 year old. And he came to me at the age of 21 and ask me why I was not a good mom to him. So I talked to him again and let him know it had nothing to do with him at all. It was completely me, and what I went through. It was my fault. He grew up to be such an amazing man and I give most of the credit to his dad. His dad did everything he could to teach him to be the man he is today. I did have a lot to do with him growing up and gave him the best advice and be there for him. So I did have a little to do with him growing up. We take vacations together and go places together to get to know each other. And it’s been the best thing in my life to get to know what an incredible man, respectful, spiritual and hard working man he has turned into. He is such a loving human being. I just don’t know now what I would do without him. He is truly my life. It just took him to become a man for me to realize what I missed in his life. But like I said I’m getting better and I work on myself everyday! Thank you for your pod cast and I really hope you keep doing it. You my love have come so far in your life and you were and always will be a beautiful woman inside and out!

    This video really made me cry 😭 as someone who just entered college and is currently recovering from both Body dysmporphic disorder and an eating disorder this video really hit home. Something my therapist taught me is that at the end of the day you are making yourself your worst enemy when in fact u should be the one that's always there for you, u have to live with yourself and if you can't accept yourself that journey becomes 10 times harder. Something I have started to do now is every time I put on makeup or a cute outfit I ask myself if it's truly for me and not for some external validation. Anyway Love this series 🫡🫡🫡🩷🩷🩷

    I once saw an interview with Audrey Hepburn where she was talking about how much she’d always hated her appearance and she couldn’t name one thing she liked about it… it’s in the documentary about her that’s here on RUclips. I couldn’t believe my ears hearing her actually saying that she thought she was ugly considering she’s looked upon as the standard of beauty… even to this day! Goes to show you how relatable this video is to everyone - people you’d never even consider included I think 🖤

    You have no idea how much people need to hear this! For me personally, I feel like turning 25 has put me in a huge transitional period of figuring out who I am and what I want and deserve out of life. And I didn't realize how much my lack of confidence was hindering me from simply enjoying living and being alive. It can be really difficult to grow out of those self-deprecating habits but I really hope I, and anyone else who's struggling, continue down a road of truly loving myself/yourself and life.

    I LOVEDD THIS! I was always the ugly best friend growing up too and it definitely made me lean on being funny and develop a personality I really love but that deep seeded insecurity and jealousy toward other women took half of my twenties to unlearn. I would have changed so many things about myself then and I am so glad I didn’t. I swear EVERYONE looks exactly the same in LA EXCEPT for Alisha and her friend group and I just feel like it is so important and healthy to see you all thriving and beautiful without looking like every other influencer that has had a million things done to look like the Kardashians. Embrace your unique beauty girls! It’s what will make you stand out in the future 🥰 MORE OF THESE PLEASE!

    Thank you so much Alisha for making this video. I can completely relate this as a 90s baby when back then there's no such thing as inclusivity in the fashion and media industry. And I live in Asian country where body shaming and striving for perfection is a norm in our society, which affected me so much! Lucky for me I came across Alisha and appreciate how she's open about her mental health, which I can relate a lot. I've read a book called the Four Agreement which i recommend so much for people who struggle with their internal demons. It has really changed my perspective towards people who body shamed me.

    I used to obsess over my flaws, but now I've started to appreciate my unique features. I've come to recognise that my face proportions are actually quite nice, and I'm beginning to appreciate the beauty in my own eyes, my perfectly fine nose, and my lovely lips.

    I really appreciate this video and actually needed this so much ❤ I was the tallest and chubbiest all of my life. A few years ago, ironically the same time you entered your gym baddie era, I lost a lot of weight, felt confident and hot. The last year was really tough for me and I gained it back. But this summer I broke my ankle/had surgery and have been stuck home. Walking is hard and I’ve been in baggy clothes for so long that I feel so disconnected from being confident and feeling attractive. This made me want to try to, at least, fake it til I make it. And work on loving myself within again. Who says I can’t be hot on crutches + at a different size? (I have to go to a wedding on crutches rip) but you bet your ass I bought a gorgeous dress! Thanks girl ❤

I was like oh i should try it right now! I tried it. Took a pic of myself and i noticed that my eyes and lips are uneven and i compared the pic i saw with mine. I got so aggressive towards my face for not being like hers. I started crying and i didn't want to go tomorrow. But after watching this video i regained my confidence. I am not ugly. I am me. I am enough. Plus its not even that noticeable. I have a beautiful smile that brightens someones day and gorgeous brown eyes that allow me to see the world and the people i love .Thank you for reminding me that Alisha :). I hope you have a wonderful day

    Thanks Alisha! I needed this❤
    Growing up, I always felt like the ugly friend. Something I love about myself is my eyes. 👀

    I have the biggest exam of my life tomorrow morning (it’s my registration exam for the pharmacy board to be a pharmacist). This is the last thing I’m watching before I go to bed. This made me feel so calm & confident in the fact that no matter what happens tomorrow, I’m still amazing & I don’t need to focus on whether or not my friends are passing. Either way I’m still valuable. If I could say one thing I love about myself right now, it’s that I’ve managed to get to this point with my education & I’m very proud of that. Thank you for this video Alisha❤️

    My whole life I felt ugly and I'm finally starting to fix my insecurities and starting to love myself and I was at one of my low points when I saw u upload this and it just made me feel so much better.
    Thank you Alisha I love you.

    I didn’t realize I would relate to this video so much. I always thought I was the ugly friend as well. Because I was so insecure about my own self. I needed validation from people in order to pretend to feel confident. I was an attention seeker. I don’t think I had my glow up and really found myself until these last couple years!

    i’m glad this is something so many can relate to. insecurity really messes with your mind, to compare or especially search for approval or validation. i know i become bitter at times when i compare myself to this one certain girl, and i beat myself over it. it can go so deep. it’s scary but also relieving in a way when you realize no one can say anything to hurt you more than yourself. those “cliche” phrases are so true though. thank you for addressing this alisha♥︎and i am so for a single podcast; i love these

    I love how comfortable I am with myself now. I use to always think something was wrong with me because I grew feeling not loved or cared about. Girls at school would make fun of my because I was hairy and had scars on my arms. I would always hide and hold back my personality because someone told me I was to much so I shrunk myself. I love how I show who I am now and I’m happy to say I’m learning to love myself everyday. ThankYou for sharing this with us I truly appreciate your honesty🤍

    Just last week I was thinking about how much I’ve grown into my features as I’m getting older. Things that used to make me insecure because they weren’t proportionate to the rest of my body 10 years ago now fit me perfectly. Thank you for getting so vulnerable about this

    Awe, I loved this video. It resonated with me. It especially resonated today because I’m insecure that I developed beard burn on my chin. I know it’ll go away haha but it’s uncomfortable. I almost feel like expressing sexuality can bring insecurities. That could be a good topic ❤

  • @Pika6ana
    @Pika6ana 8 месяцев назад +1

    Alisha you feel like a really close friend. It made me feel more open and ready to explore more rather than my usual of holding it back and throwing it under the rug. I myself right now am questioning the definition of beauty to me. thank you ❤
    I love when I'm a fan girl. When I get lost in a world and begin to build my own.

    @AdamariMedia 8 месяцев назад +1

    I cried at the end, I've always found that what I hide the most is my personality as I somehow think others might think I'm weird or cringe. That's why the last part spoke to me where you talked about being yourself and if no one laughs or goes along IT'S FINE!💕

    Thank you Alisha.
    I’m still growing and I just turned 18 but just seeing how far I’ve come within my mindset and how I’ve turned as a person.
    I really like myself now because I let out my true self and hopefully when getting older it gets even more better then this.
    Something that I really like about myself is my eyes and my lips and my moles around my eyes

    I was also the "ugly friend" in middle school through HS and my own best friend "the pretty one" would bully me along with the other bullies.. I was finally able to stand up to her recently in my late twenties how she messed me up and she told me "It's not my fault that I was the pretty friend" and I FINALLY BLOCKED HER. What's funny is she's the ugly duckling now and I had a glow up ahahahHAHAHAHA.

  • @amydavey8160
    @amydavey8160 7 месяцев назад +1

    It’s crazy to me how relatable this is to absolutely everyone, from your average everyday people all the way up to the biggest celebrities who are considered the standard for beauty. The fact that we all admire each other but feel this way about ourselves is just insane. It’s such an awful universal experience and mindset that’s so damaging but we all seem to have it.

    I honestly really needed this today and appreciate your vulnerability! 💕 I love my resilience and my ability to see the good in people ☺️ I used to kick myself and sometimes still kick myself for giving people chances or letting them treat me poorly but i’ve learned its more a reflection on them. I’ve learned to appreciate my hard earned lessons and to never be jaded or compromising on who i am because of others.

    I honestly really needed to see this. I grew up the “ugly friend” too. I was always bigger than the other girls and just different idk. My friend would tell me to my face i was the “DUFF” and that i needed make up to be pretty and things like that. I spent years hating myself and restricting my personality because i just wanted to fit it. It’s so true how much you shine when you learn to love yourself. We love you Alisha keep this up i love your realness it’s so nice to hear someone deals with the same issues i do

    Thank you for posting this! I struggled with the same mentality for years. But im currently on a very hard journey to loving myself fully and completely. I love my humor, my body and the way I do my makeup. My personal style makes me feel like myself. I love putting a cute outfit on and feeling good about it! I needed to hear this. I felt relieved and amazing after I watched the video(:

    I'm loving these solo sit down podcasts thank you for sharing your life lessons and journey. One thing I love about myself is how thoughtful I am of others feelings. I never want to purposely hurt someone's feelings knowing we are all going through a hard time at some points in our life. But I also don't let people walk over me I'm quite switched on and catch certain things people say or do that others may not and I'm always sus of everyone 🤣🤣🤣 I don't have energy to argue so I'd just cut that person off or build a wall and be kinda cold but not rude and not the same person again with them only to protect my own self.
