How do you become more comfortable in your own skin?

Question

I have never felt comfortable or at home in my own body. I feel awkward in photos, uncomfortable in social situations, and like I am always being observed and judged. I watch other people who seem completely at ease and I want to know how they got there.

Comfort in your own skin comes from spending time in your body rather than observing it from outside. Physical activity, dance, yoga, or any embodied practice helps you inhabit yourself rather than watch yourself.

Most people who seem comfortable are not immune to self-consciousness. They have just stopped making their comfort contingent on how they appear to others. That is a shift in attention, not a change in circumstances.
