What's your greatest insecurity?

My appearance- face and body. Growing up I heard 'you're pretty, for a dark skinned girl' or 'you're pretty, for a big girl'. I'm just learning to get over it, some days are better than others, and love myself.
It doesn't help that people are always telling me to fucking smile. I have one of those faces that I look mad if I'm not smiling.
Brown skin for the win! Chin up girl 👍🏾
 
Aside from poverty trauma despite being well off and able to take care of myself and my home, I’m very frustrated with being seen as naïve, unassertive, and disingenuous. I assume this happens because I’m optimistic, a bit anxious at times, and genuinely enjoy listening to people’s stories and perspectives. This tends to anger, arouse, and alarm some people who try to either take advantage of me or attempt to belittle my thoughts and dreams. It’s hard sometimes, but I’m glad I’m able to stay true to myself
