When facing moments of self-expression confusion, I typically contemplate various approaches I've come across online. Then, I rapidly sift through them in my mind to determine which methods best suit my own style before attempting to articulate myself.
I believe that the rigid societal expectations placed on Chinese women have a significant impact, preventing them from authentically expressing themselves. In order to conform to mainstream aesthetics, many women blindly alter themselves, leading to a decrease in self-confidence. Individuals are subject to varying perceptions due to cultural backgrounds. I often keep to myself, and my close friends know all aspects of me, but I generally don't notice the gaze of others.
