I have seen first hand this in action. When I first started coming out, I was the shy, fearful, wallflower. I cant say I got a lot of negative attention, but I didnt get a lot of positive either.
In the last year, I have learned to accept myself, who I am, and what I am... and I love it! (vs fear, and shame). And I can tell you... things have changed 180degrees! I now get LOADS of positive attention.. Im told how beautiful I am, how great I look, and am surrounded by others who want to get to know ME!!! Which, this too has helped build the confidence. I can tell you... IT WORKS!
Accept yourself, Love yourself, BE YOURSELF... best advice I can give!
Way to go Bev!! High 5s!
