Does anyone else have difficulty with knowing what they look like, or how they feel? It sounds weird, but I noticed that I rely on other peoples views on what I look like a lot. I was trying to buy a foundation and an assistant helped me. In the shop I was convinced it matched like she said. I tried it on at home and it looks too dark now, but I'm not sure. I was looking at my face and I just can't tell. Without peoples opinions on things I feel like there isn't much there. I know some people use that against me to manipulate me sometimes, but it takes a while for me to realise that. When I was younger I had a different hairstyle every months as people would tell me what would look good. It took me a while, but then I realised I didn't like being treated like a doll. This is a confused ramble, but does anyone know what I mean? My sense of self is so weak, I feel like I can be convinced of anything by anyone to the point of needing their direction. \part of me knows it shouldn't be like that.
Thanks all. It's not confidence really. It just things like not understanding what people mean by knowing what suits them I think does that suit me? Who is me?" I used to buy all my clothes in the wrong size until someone asked my why they were so big. I don't "know my shade" as it's like I can't see it. I feel like tofu - I take on any flavour because I don't have one. I don't know what it means to have one as it sounds impossible. Is anyone else tofu?
