She captioned the video, “Vaca self.”

Another echoed that sentiment writing, “You make me feel comfortable in my skin.”

“She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment,” a fan stated.

Someone simply commented, “Ugh, thank you.”

Selena’s realness and vulnerability is what makes her so relatable. She’s been very open about her struggles with mental health and the unobtainable standards social media put on society.

Back in February, The Blast reported the bilingual singer opened up about confidence therapy.

In an interview with Glamour UK, the actress admitted it takes “a lot of effort” for her to feel confident and comfortable in her own skin.

“I’m a big advocate for therapy. I also love to keep sticky notes around my house with positive affirmations,” she said. “I have a lot of various ones, but ‘I am enough’ is a favorite of mine – I call them ‘Rare Reminders.’ And taking a scrolling break from social media helps!”

Selena Still Struggles With Self-Confidence

Despite her ‘Rare Reminders’ and positive affirmations, the “Revelación” songstress still has bouts of drained confidence.

“Self-confidence is still something I work on daily, but when I stopped trying to conform to society's unrealistic standards of beauty, my perspective entirely shifted,” the Hulu actress said.

Sel explained her self-confidence suffered from growing up in the public eye and entertainment industry.

“Being in the public eye from such an early age certainly comes with a lot of pressure. It’s hard to feel comfortable when you feel like everyone is watching, judging, and commenting on the way you look,” the beauty founder admitted.

Selena explained that for as long as she can remember, she always felt she had to look ‘perfect’ and a ‘certain way.’

The multi-hyphenate star is also back in the dating pool, which was hilariously revealed by her Nana on TikTok.

The singer recently uploaded a video to TiKTok in which she’s doing her makeup for her millions of fans and followers.

While applying lip liner, Selena’s Nana off camera asks, “So how did you end it with that guy?”
