💎 Who Do You Think You Are? A Self-Image Thing. Sex'n'fries Podcast Episode 3

Self-image. Sounds simple, right? Ha. Wrong.

I thought this was going to be a deep but manageable conversation. Instead, it turned into a bottomless pit of questions, confusion, and head-swirl moments. Self-image isn’t just how we see ourselves—it bleeds into identity, self-awareness, and the relentless pressure to be the “perfect” version of ourselves that self-help books, podcasts, and Instagram quotes promise.

🪞 What is Self-Image Anyway?

Self-image: The idea one has of one’s abilities, appearance, and personality.Identity: The distinguishing character or personality of an individual.

Simple definitions, but try untangling them from the swirling thoughts, societal expectations, and “advice” from strangers on the internet. My brain went in circles.

🤯 Confessions of a Hot Mess Explorer

• Self-image isn’t just about looking good or thinking positive thoughts.

• We’re told: “Don’t care what others think!”—but let’s be real… we do care.

• Trying to separate my thoughts about myself from what I think others think about me? Confusing. Absolutely.

So yeah, the podcast gives some insight, but I still have more questions than answers. And that’s okay.

💡 Sex’n’Fries Takeaways

1. Self-image is a journey, not a destination.

2. Identity and self-image overlap but aren’t the same—both deserve attention.

3. The real question: What is YOUR self-image? Not what society, Instagram, or strangers tell you.

Who knows? There might be a future episode diving even deeper into this rabbit hole.
