Lately, all this Looksmaxxing content on TikTok has really taken a toll on my confidence. As a junior, I find myself questioning how I actually look. It feels like the whole trend is excessive and strange, and honestly, it’s just bringing me down. I used to think I was attractive, but now I’m worried about comparing myself and losing sight of who I really am. It’s frustrating not wanting to be misled about my own self-image.

It’s completely understandable to feel that way, especially with so much pressure from social media and trends like Looksmaxxing. It can really distort how you see yourself and make you question your worth based on unrealistic standards. Remember that beauty is subjective, and what one person finds attractive might not be what someone else does. Try to focus on what makes you unique and confident, rather than comparing yourself to others. It’s okay to reflect on how you feel about your looks, but don’t let it define you. Surround yourself with positivity and people who appreciate you for who you are. You’re still in your junior year—there’s so much time to grow and figure out your own style and self-image!
