Feeling insecure? Read this.
Many guys are worried about being able to understand girls. They don’t want to be rejected, and they feel jealous about the other guys you’re friends with. They definitely don’t want to be cheated on. Moral of the story? The guys you crush on aren’t always as confident as they seem.
Gurl is all about empowering girls from the inside out, and we try not to put so much pressure on looking a certain way. We’re all different, and there’s nothing wrong with that. In order for anyone to have true confidence, we need to accept these differences, and understand that they make us who we are. Comparing ourselves to anyone else isn’t healthy.
It took me a long time to accept that the things that made me different were actually the things that made me special. It’s not about my looks, my clothes or how random strangers perceive me. It’s all about loving who you are inside and out and letting people see that inner confidence and love. A lot of you guys have trouble with that. Here are five comment questions on how to deal with your body issues.

Bodies are Photoshopped to look slimmer as they pose in designer dresses, sometimes ending in a complete disaster. In a weird way, we’ve been used to consuming false images, but we’re also a little more keen to the fact that people don’t actually look like plastic in real life. That’s why as much as I critique the means in which the media packages women, I’ve never thought, “Wow, why don’t I look like that?”

Every day, make it a point to give yourself a compliment. Don't pay attention to the stretch marks. Instead, focus on the fact that you have amazing calves. Do this every single day, not just once in a while. Eventually, you'll believe it.
