Gabrielle Union Has Talked About Self-Esteem
GettyUnion opened up about self-esteem during an interview with “Good Morning America” in May 2022. She revealed that while she seemed to be confident when she was younger, that didn’t match what she felt inside.
“It appeared that I was sitting on top of the world, I had all the answers, I felt amazing about myself,” she said. “But inside, as a Black girl in predominantly non-minority spaces, I felt like I was never enough of anything. I was…I always felt way too black. I felt way too intelligent. I felt too, I felt very scrutinized.”
“It’s a weird thing to feel invisible and hyper visible all at once,” she added.
Saying that she continued to deal with self-esteem issues into her 40s, she eventually realized that, as “GMA” explains, “all of the things you think will make your life easier won’t if you aren’t truly happy on the inside.”
GettyUnion also addressed the fact that young people face unreal beauty standards and iffy advice on social media, saying, “There’s so many other ways that our children can be harmed, and especially our girls. And they also have to understand that the people that you’re comparing yourself to, especially the people that you don’t know, they don’t look like what they present themselves to be.”
“We all want to present this fictionalized version of ourselves to social media, but I don’t always think we understand the harmful effects of doing that,” Union noted. “And you know, for our girls, they need to understand that it’s not real. And it’s okay to be exactly you because it will get you a lot further than pretending to be someone else and always feeling less than.”
