when you go from hating yourself so much to finally gaining confidence and appreciating yourself for who you truly are it’s like you become ten times more confident than the average person. after spending so much time bringing yourself down, there is nothing anyone can say that you probably haven’t already thought of and/or said to yourself. you become immune to anyone saying anything negative to you. but at the same time, you’re still humble with it because you always remember that shit wasn’t always sweet.
