I have always been a chubby kid, growing up I was always told by everyone that I should lose weight even my mom told me that look at you cousin she is so fit and slim, as I grew up I lost a lot of weight I went from 72 kgs to 53.1 kg within 1 and half year. last year I discovered my body type is pear and realized my cousin with whom I was compared has an hourglass type. I know how body type is genetical, but I don’t know why I have that slight jealousy whenever I look at her, ik there are a lot of things that she has and I don’t and the same goes for her. she is pretty rude and on the other hand I am polite, she gets angry very quickly and I am way too calm, she was never athletic and on the other hand I am a national player, she is way to mature and I am very childish and immature, she is good at decision making whereas I face a lot of problem taking my decision. I am trying my best to overcome this jealousy, and it not like I don’t love her I love her a lot she has always saved me from a lot of things but then again the jealousy thing, maybe it because I was compared a lot with her in terms of the body !!!
P.S.: I was 12 when I started wearing baggy clothes because of body shaming, I am trying my best to wear clothes of my size but then again that fear is still there>

Hi there,
Spend your time knowing yourself, if you start to feel jealous, take a moment to practice mindfulness and tune into your body to figure out exactly what you are feeling. Try taking a walk or doing some journaling to process your emotions and get to the root of your jealousy. Address the issue with your inner soul and focus on your well-being.
Do not go with the comparison thing that you have experienced in your childhood. Don’t let that affect your relationship with your cousin.
Just don’t fear to wear what to wear just love yourself up that ignore all of them
