I wanted to hopefully reach out to anyone who is struggling with self-esteem and feeling insecure. I used to really feel insecure a lot, especially as a younger teen and young adult. Just know that you are not alone if this speaks to you and that brighter days are always ahead if we can put our mind toward bettering ourselves! Xoxo♥

I needed to hear this! I grew up with parents who were very judgmental of the appearances of people around them, and it gave me the idea that everyone else around me must be picking me apart, too. Self esteem and social anxiety have been a struggle for me for as long as I can remember, but I'm definitely making progress. After having two sons, I recently found out that my third is a daughter (yay!!!) and I'm even more committed to breaking the patterns of judgment and gossip I grew up with so that she can grow up free from their crushing effects, and view herself and those around her with the dignity they deserve. ❤

@MrsMidwest Год назад

I relate to so much of your comment. I can't remember a time in my childhood where I did not feel extremely insecure or overly sensitive toward the opinions of others. It's such an encouragement to realize we can break out of destructive patterns and prevent them from passing down to our children! I really admire you for recognizing this about yourself and protecting your children. Such an amazing mama!

Omg yesss so relatable. So happy for you 😊

@JessicaMillerNashville Год назад

You are not alone! My parents did the same thing and I just sort of always grew up with parents and my sister always commenting on anyone and everyone, usually in a negative light. This comment is life-changing because it is so true how this can play an impact on how we feel! I truly never thought of it that way until this comment and video, amazing!!!

Gratitude has helped me tremendously, I worked through many issues with myself through gratitude. Also one tip from me to all you out there is also to keep a busy schedule with things you care about. When I saw how much I accomplished in one day already by just focusing on the task at hand I felt proud by the end of the year of what I had done and felt like a good person. Beautifying from the inside first will make you like yourself more , such as focusing on helping other people, animals and the environment and serve others and this earth. 💓 Edit: oh! you also said about being busy later in the video 😀

@HeatherLaurenCo Год назад

This couldn’t have come at a better time as I’m going to a social gather this evening and I’m always so self conscious when I’m around new people. I’m so afraid people don’t like me and will make fun of me when I leave. Also, I so feel the part about how if you don’t feel productive and achieved then that contributes. I definitely feel this way and need to work on it.

@MrsMidwest Год назад

This is a really insightful comment Heather! Thank you for sharing with us :) It's a fine balance between hanging our worth on productivity while also realizing that we need to feel good about the work we do here on earth! I relate to that so much. And I totally understand the fears that people will speak negatively after you leave a social interaction. Especially when you've had that actually happen before! I've found that training myself to live and let live has been really helpful, like telling myself after I leave: I cannot control what happens in my absence, so I am choosing to release it from my mind and heart. It helps too to make sure you are surrounded by genuine people who you trust-- people you KNOW will not speak poorly of you for no reason. xoxo

@Keepingthehome345 Год назад

You have no idea how much I needed this. Got a huge rush of insecurity the last few weeks after having my third baby. Way more than I have after my last two births. I realize I’m focusing too much on myself.

@wolfsmaid6815 Год назад

I was always very self conscious in social interactions/conversations until I heard this great advice from Jordan Peterson: "try making the person you are talking to feel as appreciated and interesting as you can." this really helped me focus on the things going on outside of my mind instead of hyperfocusing on my own shortcomings in speech and general social skills.

A LOT of your message here echoes the values in Allie Beth Stuckey’s book “You Are Not Enough (and That’s Ok)”. She talks about how self-obsession and me-centered thinking makes us worship ourselves and the foolishness of the “goddess” mentality. I recommend it to any young woman!

@packnetadaija Год назад

I’m really glad this video provides a different kind of perspective. I remember when I was a teen my mom told me “all your insecurities will go away by the time your 25.” And it’s like here I am at 27 just as insecure if not more haha. My boyfriend tells me the same thing about the whole “not everyone is out to get you.” Thing haha

@mashak5135 Год назад

This was so key in helping with my social anxiety. The best advice I ever got was to stop taking things personally-people are busy, they have their own problems, they're not hyper focusing on little things you do and being upset with you (not everything is about you). And it absolutely came from me, as a child, doing everything in my power to adjust and accommodate my parents' feelings and moods (me me me, what did I do? How can I fix this?) which is AWFUL and totally not how most adult people need to function in the world. Decentralizing myself has made me be able to actually look and see people I've known for years in ways I haven't before which was baffling but not surprising in hindsight!

@kate3276 Год назад

I needed to hear this. I didn’t struggle with this until my mid 20’s and it stemmed from a toxic work environment…but it’s something I definitely need to work on. Especially as a Mom, so I can show my kids how to be confident in a healthy way

@noellekris5902 Год назад

Wooooo this was always a huge struggle for me since I can remember, which just piled on way more as a mom! Growing up in a situation where I had to not make any waves in order to stay safe, I grew up with no individuality and only knew how to read others to see how I needed to act and who I needed to be in that season to protect myself. It’s made my whole reality of myself and the world around me warped. Fighting to overcome this!

@MrsMidwest Год назад

I completely understand the feeling of having a warped view of reality and those around you. It truly has been such a relief to have my husband as my best friend because he is the LEAST insecure person I've ever encountered, and he's taught me his way of life LOL. Proud of you for fighting to overcome it. It's amazing how much we can grow if we just put our hearts and minds into the inner work. xoxo

@kangkhita Год назад

Self conciousness often leads to people becoming narcissists. I know it sounds contradictory, but narcissism isn't just "everyone loves me, look at me!". It can also be "everyone hates me, look at me!". In both situations, we are led to believe that we're different, important, special even. I too was one of these "victim narcissists" in high school. My life improved so much once I stopped throwing myself pity parties and self-victimizing. The victim mentality is truly so unattractive and repels all sorts of human connections. At the end of the day, I realized that I'm really not that important and should stop treating myself as such.

@ceedee1425 Год назад

Absolutely! It's wonderful that you are applying therapy to your life as well. I didn't touch on therapy, but I really think that the right therapist can do wonders for getting us to break out of these harmful mindsets.

I like to remind myself that Jesus valued me enough to endure and overcome Calvary not because I am flawless or perfect, but because He loved me enough to see someone worth saving.

I think my problem is overly critical friends. I feel terrible after I hang out with them. They're always sending me screen shots from people they are "friends" with on FB and making fun if them. They're always telling me how I'm gonna be alone if I don't have kids or like saying i'm lame cause I don't really go on vacations often (i'm trying to save money) telling me I'm wasting my life. I just want some friends that have similar hobbies and are genuine. These ones make me doubt myself all the time even if I genuinely feel happy. I'm in my early 30s and I feel like I shouldn't have to feel like this.

@nb1393 Год назад

When I was in college I had a « friend » who was hyper critical, every single day made comments about my calves in front of other people, I have big calves, I was not insecure about those before meeting this person and at one point I started hating my calves and being so self conscious trying to hide them etc. One day I realized that it was not ok that I gave this person power over how I view myself. So one day as usual she hit me with mean comment in front of other people and I hit back with « hey, I know you hate yourself and that misery loves company, but I am really not in the mood today so please go be miserable elsewhere or take an appointment to the uni therapist because attacking my calves won’t solve your issues » in front of everyone as well. Huuuuge blank. The person was soooo embarrassed, and neeeever made comments about my calves again. Yes maybe it was a bit harsh to say but I don’t regret it.

I loved this video and the practical advice! Some of the advice I see online suggest the opposite of insecurity such as not giving a f*** about what others think and just doing you, which just turns us into narcissists. The opposite of insecurity is not pride but rather the source, the antidote is humility! Having hobbies, getting outside (physically and mentally), creating a healthy social group, and developing structure does wonders!

Exactly what I needed to hear today. I heard something similar at church today & then I found this video!

Thanks for making this video! My dad can be an over critical person sometimes and actually rather than making me feel insecure or self conscious, it just makes me mad because I'm in my late thirties and just don't care what other people think anymore. I think if I feel self conscious about anything it's that I'm single in my late thirties and haven't been asked out in a long time. I was scared of people when I was a kid, but by the time I got to middle school, my class had this attitude of who cares what people think. That way of thinking helped in a huge way because when I was worried about being bullied due to what people thought, I was afraid to voice my opinions. Sometimes I do feel self conscious about my face, but I try to just get on with my day and stay busy with work, going on a bike ride or do some writing or some other creative project.

Yaaay a new Caitlin video 🎉🥰💗 I’m so glad you’re back!! Will you do a video on the 1 to 2 babies transition? 🫶 & any tips for a new second time mom please 🙌💕💕💕

Oh I can do that! My mothering videos aren't the most popular but if you all want to see me chat about it, I totally can! If you're up for reading I'll link my blog post that touches this topic too: www.mrsmidwest.com/post/how-i-survived-2-under-2

What about body confidence... I don't feel feminine having small boobs, at all. I don't like the way my body looks, even after dropping a substantial amount of weight, I'm still overweight by around 10 kilo. Working on it but it's so hard to live with yourself constantly feeling like you don't look feminine, no matter how you dress.

Thank you! I feel like the last point you made is missed a lot in the self conscious realm. . ACTION is so important. You can't fool yourself into thinking you're fine the way you are when what you are isn't where or what you want to be. Go to the gym, take a dance class, volunteer, or...like you said: just match the loose socks. Start small and work your way up :) Always love your videos Caitlin! ❤

Started my dream job a month ago. I spent all my time stressing about what people must be thinking of me and judging about me. Imposter syndrome and insecurities has felt like it's run my entire life! I know it stems from my inner child, I had learning disabilities, special teachers, and was in ESL until Grade 3. I always felt dumb and like I stood out like a sore thumb. This is a much needed message for me, so thank you Mrs. Midwest. I'm learning that I'm not so special ha! (ME ME ME, really resonated) Everyone is struggling with something inside, even the most perfect seeming people. Who cares if I have flaws? I'm a human and this message today is reminding me that I need to accept myself and put my energy into serving others. :)

Your nails look absolutely beautiful and lovely. Perhaps you can one day do a video on handcare and natural nail. Love your channel, think you were one of the first channels I've ever watched

@mistyschoephoerster347 Год назад

Could you do a RU-vid video on various topics you talk about and the book you recommend to address or match that topic? Like a teen book for teenage girls on this topic would be so awesome. You may not have the resource for that considering you’re a young boy mom but there’s so many other topics you cover that I’d love to read more on or present to future generations. Thanks!

So beautiful simply true ❤Now I need listen this words. Thank you so much. Greetings from Czech republic🤗

I saw this channel for the first time today via a Reddit post. And everything you shared is absolutely on point and really comforting. I needed this so much. Thanks!

@juliebennion6448 Год назад

These are some of the wisest words I’ve heard in the self development/femininity RU-vid sphere!

@madisonminm5450 Год назад

Omg I needed this video so much! Btw you remind me of Margo Robbie!! You’re so pretty ❤

@asya4553 Год назад

You are the best youtuber I’ve ever listened to. I can listen to you talk for hours and hours and I wouldn’t be bored. Love you sister ❤

@kimberlymccracken747 Год назад

Great suggestions and quite insightful 🎉 Proud of those of us who deserve to enjoy our lives and ourselves, but had a lot of negative influences. It's challenging, but impressive to get there NO matter who or what 🎉👍💯🥰

@darlenearciga7888 Год назад

God made you so beautiful Cait, inside and out! ❤❤ love the encouragement, thank you and yes, you are a goddess! 😄

@juliaricciardi8482 Год назад

I love this video!!! It was so good to hear. I have identified an overly critical person in my life. I also just assume people are saying such and such about me. This video has helped and given me the confidence to help me get over my self-consciousness. I appreciate your heart-to-heart talk! You did a great job!!! Please make more videos like this!! 😀👐

@jozefienghysels5980 Год назад

Wow! This is such a great video! You could feel it came right from your heart, and it definitely reached mine. Thank you so much

As someone who overcame her self consciousness I agree with your suggestion because that's what I did too. I stop focusing too much on myself. I stopped thinking, and start doing (focusing on what I was doing or adding things to do to take my mind out of myself)

@snoy98307 Год назад

I love you and love your videos. I struggle a lot with anxiety and childhood issues. I feel like I will never be good enough to have a family and raise kids. But I fight those feelings everyday

@joycebetis Год назад

thank u! i was hoping you’d upload something soon and this popped up on my feed. it’s always nice to have your beautiful energy around❤

@clairemeloann Год назад

This is so helpful!!! I notice these patterns with myself too and started doing the opposite, it definitely worked and made me feel better. Your video just confirmed it❤️

@lydialarina Год назад

You are a very wise woman and I am so grateful I found your channel. This is really helpful and inspiring me to change as opposed to be wallowing in relentless complaints. God bless you and your family❤
