Thoughts this matchup is testing your ability to sidestep, and not fall into the many traps a player can put you in. Heatsmash, WR2, SNK4 all need their proper defensive respect. I see many players get angry when I play drag because they try to run me over, that’s not how you handle the problem. L

Mirror selfie/photoshoot tips: - Change up your pose! Some of my favorites are: - One hand on hip, other holding my phone - Covering my face with my phone - If you have a tripod/someone else to take the picture, putting both your hands together (ex: I held my sunglasses in the 2nd pic)

Why you keep playing small. Visibility doesn’t feel safe.
Visibility isn’t just exposure… it’s vulnerability. If your body learned that being seen wasn’t safe, you will shrink—no matter how much you want more. Start small. Teach your body it’s safe to be seen. #visibilityfear #nervoussystem #somatichealing #confidence #overthinking
