KOLIKO god svi pričali da je važno kakva je osoba iznutra, realnost je da nas većina ljudi procjenjuje po fizičkom izgledu. S obzirom na društvene stereotipe, ne čudi da puno ljudi zbog svojih nesavršenosti pati od niskog samopouzdanja i mentalnih problema.

Ove fotke su dokaz da ništa nije uklesano u kamen, pa tako ni naš izgled. Ljudi na njima su se tijekom godina toliko promijenili da je ponekad teško povjerovati da se radi o istoj osobi. Neki su promjenu postigli trudom i radom, dok su se drugi tijekom odrastanja iz ružnog pačeta pretvorili u prekrasnog labuda.

3. Sa 17 i s 26. Još uvijek ne vjerujem koliko sam se promijenio.

17 to 26. I was literally about to be a high school senior in that left pic. Still can’t believe how different I look. from r/uglyduckling

4. Evo koliko mi se lice promijenilo u dvije godine.

This is my 2 year journey of Mewing now. I'm in shock myself actually seeing of how much my face has changed! (Left is before, Right is after) sorry the side photos are taken exactly the same. from r/orthotropics

7. Dugo se nisam smiješio, pogledajte moje nove bisere.

I’m embarrassed to post this, but the happiness out weighs the embarrassment. On the first day of fifth grade I was hit by a car breaking most of my teeth and actually landing me in a coma. I’m 30 now and have dealt with not smiling a good chunk of my life. Check out my new pearly whites! from r/happy
