Insecurity about looks
I have been constantly insecure about my looks and appearances these days, I know i was not born with good looks. But i am not able to stop this thoughts from my mind. I used to cry and feel very much emotional about this. From childhood i was under the shadow of my parents, and they were very stricter during my childhood, i couldn't be able to travel long distances with my friends and nor with anyone else. I got many freedoms after joining graduation. But still i could not be able to travel to different places which i want to travel. Due to the financial conditions and job profile i could not travel in the last 8 years. I am constantly working and looking my parents. But when i see some of my friends who travel that place which i have once decided to go there. I start to compare with them and have a thoughts why i couldn't be able to do that, even they did but i couldn't be. Many freinds have done many of the things, but i couldn't do. And i end up cursing me and my luck of life.

It sounds like you're carrying a lot of emotional weight from your past experiences, particularly in relation to your upbringing and the limitations you faced during childhood. These early experiences can significantly impact our self-perception and how we navigate the world as adults. It's understandable that these feelings of insecurity and comparison might arise, especially when seeing others achieve things you desire.
Next Steps
You can book a session with me where we can start exploring these feelings further and that could be beneficial in helping you unpack these emotions and develop coping strategies to navigate them. Additionally, setting realistic goals for yourself, both in terms of personal growth and travel experiences, can provide a sense of direction and fulfillment.
Health Tips
Your past doesn't dictate your future, and it's never too late to pursue your passions and create the life you envision for yourself.

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It's completely natural to compare ourselves to others, but it's important to remember that everyone's journey is unique. Your worth is not determined by external factors such as appearance or travel experiences. If these thoughts are affecting your well-being, consider talking to a mental health professional. They can provide support and strategies to help you navigate these feelings. Also, try focusing on the positive aspects of your life and set small, achievable goals to work towards.

Parental dominance, which our society seems to propagate as normal in its value system, has damaged the self-confidence of many young people all along. While you couldn't have changed your childhood living environment and it's influence on your emotions and feelings, it would be sensible on your part now to outgrow that influence because you are an individual first and only then your parents' son. Along with the possible negative influence of such an environment in your self-confidence, it is also likely that it gave you deep rooted guilt, from which you may be finding it difficult to come out too. These situations warrant your getting guided by a psychologist on how to improve your personality to become assertive and confident even while ensuring that it does not conflict with the need for you to be acceptable in your family as well as in the society. The process of such a change is likely to take some time. But you need to change to ensure that you lead a meaningful and emotionally stable life.
Next Steps
Please consult a psychologist.

Hi, thank you for reaching out. That’s the first step towards taking control of your wellbeing and feeling better :) it’s completely natural and human to compare oneself with others and feel disheartened when they have certain external factors in their favour more than oneself. This often leaves us feeling demotivated and frustrated. At these times, trying to be grateful and looking at the positives seems easier said than done. Nonetheless, you deserve to learn the techniques to manage and navigate your emotions, to readjust your focus in life, and to work on any underlying concerns in order to live a fuller life. Consulting a counselling psychologist can help with the same.

It must be a very hard phase. Not being able to feel the freedom and experience the things you wanted to and worked hard for, must be a heartbreaking feeling. Also as you mentioned that you are also dealing with body image issues making you feel worse about yourself. This all must be very hard and too much to deal with at the same time. My advice will be some love and care for yourself which is much needed at this time despite the responsibilities you should take care of yourself.
Along with this, working with a therapist helps you much better and faster. I am sure you will be able to come out of these hard feelings with time. Take care.
Next Steps
work towards caring for yourself and practice self care to deal with the situation.
