Need a hand hold

[Osokka]

I'm having a massive panic of confidence, tonight is my Christmas party with a new firm. I've put on a lot of weight this year and now im stood looking in the mirror thinking I look like a dogs dinner.

I've changed my outfit several times and I'm just getting stressed I need a few words of encouragement or I will end up sitting in the corner trying to hide all my lumps and bumps lol.

I was so looking forward to going out with these people as i get on great with them.

Stand up and be confident! You look amazing and these are people you see all the time. They aren’t going to be judging how you look, they are going to be too busy having a good time.

You got this

They work with you and see you every day. They only know you as this size so work it! Wear something you feel good in and be confident.

My general advice isn't nice to hear but it's the truth and worth repeating in situations like this.

Nobody cares. As long as you don't rock up in a glitter sexy nurse costume literally nobody could give less of a fuck about what you are wearing. They are much too busy focusing on themselves and what they are wearing to think about what you're wearing for more than 2 seconds. You are not the center of the universe. People do not spend all night looking at you and talking about you. I promise. You will be fine.

OP wear what you feel most comfortable in and have a great time.

A good confidence booster actually is to think about the last time you went out with a group of people. How many of their outfits do you remember? Probably none, unless they were particularly flashy. And that's because you were focused on yourself. Just like everybody else in the world is.

Ladies thank you a glass of red and a strong get a grip was all I needed x

Have a great night OP
