I’ve never changed anything about myself. I look boring. Long hair, dark jeans and baggy hoodies. I’m learning about fashion now, and I want to look different, have my own style. I want to cut my hair short and make it pink or blue. But I’m so nervous to do it! Everyone will notice, they’ll make comments, and I shrink under too much social attention. I kept my hair the exact same shoulder length my whole life. I’m embarrassed to wear open or short clothes. Like, all the girls used to wear crop tops last year, but I feel self-conscious if any part of my belly is visible. It makes me feel insecure, and maybe I’m afraid people will think I’m showing off? I have a pretty normal body, and I can’t explain why I don’t feel comfortable wearing anything but hoodies. But I want to change! I fear judgement, I’m afraid to be awkward about my new style… How to overcome my fears??
