How to feel confident as a bigger shape

haha looks can be deceiving. I feel pretty self conscious on here but I guess my loneliness and boredom makes me type a lot on here, sometimes.

I have a dwp interview (disability benefits) on the phone this upcoming fri and its kind of winding me up too.

Good luck with the interview! How do you feel about it being on the phone as opposed to in person?

maybe I would have preferred it to be somewhere because I don’t want my family listening in it makes me feel it’s not private. th walls are thin everywhere. I don’t usually do phone calls in the house for that reason.

but the fact that it is a phone call means that at least it cant be anything too serious as thy would have called me in otherwise I would assume.

its either a review or something specific that’s all the lady told me on the phone cos she doesn’t actually look at it yet until fri.

Thankyou :))

My advice (and I have trouble with this at times) is to learn to love yourself just the way you are. Appearance is not the most defining characteristic of a person when it comes to others. Of course cleanliness does matter heh. When it comes down to it, confidence comes from being comfortable with who you are. Try not to think about how you look necessarily, rather think of your personality, you seem to be a kind, well-mannered thoughtful person. These are all good qualities. Stay positive and build on the notion that appearance does matter but it is not the defining factor in who a person is. Reassure yourself that you are a good person and then build on that. I’m not saying walk around like you’re better than others, what i’m saying is walk around like you’re happy with the person you are inside. That’s what really counts anyhow. Then exude the confidence achieved by that feeling. It is more difficult to put into practice than to read of course. :grin: Still I hope that helps you some.

I have self body issues all the time and commented by my
Husband that I am fat it’s really embarrassing but this ap weight can’t come off but we can stop it from increasing it by taking drastic change in diet and exercise

Oh man, I too hate living where family can eavesdrop on me. For more personal conversations with my friends, I have to go outside.

I agree with your logic that it being a phone interview probably means it isn’t about anything too major.

Good luck to you too

i’m sorry to hear he called you fat that’s probably not the most considerate way to put it. ive been called a shapeless hairy maggot this kind of talk just doesn’t do anything, the guy was angry but hey he knows I had low self confidence.
