conv: I remember one time when I wore a Halloween costume that I'd been looking forward to wearing.  But I spent the whole night covered up in a cape_comma_ because I was self conscious of how I looked in it. One time when I was younger I wore a Halloween costume that I'd been looking forward to show off.  But I ended up covering myself up with a cape_comma_ because I was self conscious of how I looked. Aww- I'm sorry that happened. Why were you embarrassed? Well the costume itself ended up looking great_comma_ since my mom made it.  But I hadn't realized how fat I looked when i wore it_comma_ so I felt bad. It's always difficult when you feel self-conscious - but I've learned that people rarely judge you as hard as you judge yourself.  That's true_comma_ but no matter how much I tell myself that I always end up thinking about it too much about it.  I'm constantly worrying about what people think of me. Please try to be kinder to yourself! You are a great person- with a lot to offer. Always remember to be good to yourself.
