YPs one of YPBlogSpot’s long time twitter supporters and little sister to YPs has decided to bless us with a blog regarding young women’s confidence issues. Confidence comes easy to some and not so easy to some but confidence can make or break a person. Men and women struggle with confidence/self-esteem issues for various different reasons but being a Young Professional woman coming into her own YPShaH decided to share her thoughts and views on confidence and I’m sure many women concur with her assessment. Check it out for yourself and share your thoughts and comments under this great read/guest blog by Miss Hanford.
I believe a lot of young women have a confidence issue. Although I don’t have low self-esteem, its definitely not where it should be. This is a topic that a lot of females I know don’t really like to touch. If they don’t have the self esteem they should they sometimes take the wrong approach in order to develop that esteem. For example, trying to get as much attention from guys as they possibly can (posting half naked pics on the web, going to the club half naked, & just trying to get that attention to make them feel good about themselves. But they would never admit that they have low self confidence.
I’m 21 years old & the girls around my age range seem to idolize these celebs & sex symbols. Everyone wants to be the baddest b*tch or have the biggest butt because that’s what’s glamorized as “beauty”. My grandmother always told me a smile can win over a room full of people. When I was younger I never understood that because I saw the complete opposite in the media. But as I grow into adulthood and becoming the young professional that I am, I’m starting to understand what men really like & what is really considered beauty. Looking at the girls in the videos & magazines is simply eye candy to men. They also do not want the girl in the club that is half naked dancing on all the guys. They want the respectable young lady with a good head on her shoulders who has an amazing aura because she loves herself. This is an issue that’s always on my heart because I know what its like not to be comfortable in your own skin. I just want all my fellow young ladies to feel beautiful and comfortable with who they are & not for a man but for themselves & the man will just be a plus because there is no better relationship than the one you have with you. The point is, confidence is within YOU. You can not get self-LOVE from anyone else. Especially not a man because once that man is gone then you’ll be worst off then before. Love yourselves young professionals that’s the only way you’ll be able to stay on the right track and proceed to success.

beauty is all in what you define it for yourself. it varies from person to person back to person.
as people we crave attention in some kind of way. some more than others. everyone has confidence issues, even the “glammed up big booty girls.” we can’t judge and just only hopes everyone grows to be as confident as you
This was a great post, thank you for sharing.
