Not feeling cute enough

Hi all,

being vulnerable here a little. But my God, what is wrong with me?!???? Every time I want to post my look of the day, I take 50 pictures, and when I look at them, you know how I feel? I don't feel cute enough. I never feel cute enough. I feel like my hair is too frizzy, my skin shows too much poor, my eyeshadow is not well blended, the camera angles are not perfect, my background is mediocre, etc.

But the truth is I am cute enough. I feel like the beauty industry really fúçk3d the way I see myself. When all I see is perfectly cute girls everywhere, it's hard not to compare myself. It's hard for me to see what I bring to the table. I'm just a normal girl. Or maybe, bring just a normal girl is exactly what I bring to the table?

I can't be the only one feeling like this?!?
