Around six or seven o’clock pm I choose my outfit for school everyday of the week no matter what, even if I get home at nine or ten at night, But I have a different way of picking out my clothes. I pick out my clothes by trying them by making sure it looks right. Sometimes it takes hours for me to pick out an outfit or it takes me  like  five minutes ,so sometimes I get embarrassed of it because I think I'm the only one that ever does it. Somedays I feel confident and some days I just don’t know don’t what to wear and it makes me so frustrated. This happen around fifth or sixth grade when I realized I did this or as my parents say I have had really bad anxiety. I have had really bad anxiety for a long time, ever since I was little. Having this makes things kind of hard because I worry about everything I do and which I know I shouldn't because who cares about what people think. I have to do this because if I don't I get really worried about what's gonna happen. I overthink everything but its mostly because I'm so worried about what people think and that’s one reason why I have to pick out my clothes.


We all have those people that we look up to and want to look like. We say to ourselves oh it’s gross how skinny and tall these models and how unrealistic it is, but in our heads all girls do wish to be like that . All girls want to be something, have something that we can't have or weren't born with. This is why girls are so insecure about themselves, but we tell ourselves that we born like this and to the love they way you are. This cause anxiety towards young girls and how they view themselves and want to look like when they are older. This and the anxiety I have and that every girl has is based on this.


Sometimes it’s just like girls don't have the money for that or the clothes and that cause girls to be insecure with themselves and think they are not as popular or pretty as the other girls. Anxiety comes in all ways and for different types of ways.  All the movies and the tv shows all these kinds of things cause stress and insecurities. 
Reason I've dealt with this is because I know that everything will be okay and its not the end of the world. I always try to be nice and respect others with their life and what the are going through. I understand that some girls might not be able to have or get what others have. I've know that if I get treated with respect I will always give respect  back. The anxiety that I have is just a unique way for me to express my feelings.
