This hit so hard, the way you were made to feel different in your own family for something so natural and beyond your control. Being asked why are your lips swollen and being told you look strange, that you are the only one with big lips, and even your parents joining instead of protecting you, that must have been so painful as a child. Feeling like you are in a room full of people criticizing you for how you look is heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this so honestly, your story is really powerful.

Thanks. It was always heart breaking, but now I am comfortable in accepting myself.

Sometimes, the people who make us feel insecure are the very ones who teach us what we should never believe about ourselves. I’m glad you finally saw your lips through kinder eyes. ❤️

I felt sad while reading this. Families can be cruel especially when they talk about Insecurities. They have no right to talk disrespectfully with you.
