After someone commented that my lips were too thin to even have a beauty channel, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Every time I filmed a lip product video or posted a thumbnail, all I could see were my “small lips.” I almost got lip filler, multiple times, not because I truly wanted it, but because I felt like I didn’t belong in the beauty space without fitting the look.

This is how toxic beauty standards and online criticism slowly chip away at your self-image, especially as a content creator. I never used to question how I looked, until one comment made me feel like I didn’t deserve to be seen.
