Beloved of All
Sorry for my essay, but I need to get this off my chest! Iβm hoping that this will finally help me recover and heal. Your prayers would be much appreciated.
You have no idea how much just you reading this and replying with βprayed thisβ will help me.
As a child I was bullied for my facial hair being darker than others in my school because I am light skinned (with dark hair). They called me a βmanβ even though I am female and was born female.
For as long as I have lived this has seriously affected me to the point where when I look in the mirror, I see manly features on my face. I worry that others see this too.
I have never had confidence, and always faked it to try to fit in, but the older I get the worse my feelings about my appearance are getting. I feel like I look older than I am, and feel like I look masculine even though I am a woman.
This is the most honest Iβve ever been. I know that I am wonderfully and fearfully made but I do not see this in the mirror. Whilst I donβt want to see a supermodel when I look in the mirror, I want to see what God sees what he looks at me because I have never really been able to. I was born female and want to see myself as feminine.
I want to feel confident in my skin and feel good in myself, but I fear that the bullying from my past is holding me back and is ruining my life, distorting what I am seeing in the mirror. Help me get over this image dysmorphia and help me see myself as my true feminine self.
I really need your help and prayers. Help me as I pray that features become more feminine. Help me see myself as the female I am because I really donβt and it has affected me for 32 years.
If I do have masculine features naturally by birth, which I doubt, please help God change them for me to make me look naturally feminine.
Amen.
