Do You Have A Technic To Feel Beter About The Look Of Your Body With All The Deformation Of Scoliosis?

This body shaming problem is for everyone i guess, not for people with sma only. But anyway I wanted to ask as a girl struggling with that feeling time to time

Hello love! When I was younger I struggled a lot with self image issues. I used to even hate to see myself in the mirror. But in high school I found fashion and my style and my confidence and the way I viewed myself really changed! I say start with picking a great outfit! Something you would never wear but love and then wear it even if you’re going nowhere. Sometimes confidence can be built by taking back some autonomy by picking the clothes you really want to wear!

That's a great question, @A mySMAteam Member Thanks for bringing up this topic. I know a lot of people experience this, me included. I make it a point to remember people's names and look them in the eye. I also have a saying in my head when I don't feel my best, “People are interested in me for who I am.”

Well Personally I don't much like wearing anything that Clings to My Body, because then My Crooked Body really shows. So I tend to buy what I like, but I may buy just a tad bit larger just so it's not so clingy. Also I stay away from Slinky and shiny Fabric. Just being Comfortable in Your own Skin comes with Age. I just try to please myself. If I like something I wear it. Just have to Love ourselves, and that also comes with Age sometimes.
LOL 😆
