“We aren’t born with these insecurities,we are told to be insecure” THAT TOOK ME TO REALITY GIRLY

"Everyone wants to see the flaws of another person because we wanted to see glimpses of our own insecurities in them," that hit hard

"People told me I didn't have the right to talk about being insecure about my body, because I was skinny" wow. im so glad she brought that up.

'We aren't born with insecurities, we are told what to be insecure about' Okay, why did I feel that so deeply?

winnie the pooh ate what he wanted, never wore pants, and wore a crop top. you can too. you're beautiful.

lili is going to make an amazing mother.

i pray lili goes on to be a big actress after riverdale, i don’t want this amazingly inspiring woman to only be remembered through a show with bad writing.

"we aren't born with insecurities, we are told to be insecure" THATS SO TRUE, it really opened my eyes

Cole is the luckiest man alive to have this wonder by his side you are such an inspiration to me lili

“and acne” That hit me the most.

I was crying about my weight for half an hour and then i saw this.....i stopped surprisingly Thx for 4 likes

The fact that most of the comments are about Cole is so sad, like Lili is her own person and this is her speech and you all are just talking about her boyfriend.

She is so beautiful , and inspiring. And I find comfort within her , I’d love to just sit and talk with her..

Judge me when you are perfect.

Please tell me that I am not the only 14 years old watching this, feeling a lot better because of what she said.

I swear every woman sitting there was profusely clapping Inside

Me:watching a speech about body image KZfaq:sup man here is an ad for Facetune

PETITION TO GIVE LILI HER OWN PODCAST/KZfaq CHANNEL (Like) I'm not trying to clout I'm trying to get them to see this lol

I bet god looked down and smiled listening to lili say that speech

This sounded like a TED talk. 👍🏻 I could watch Lili talk for hours. 🤗

You have no idea how BAD I needed to hear this.

Really random, but Lili would be the best camp counselor, just sayin.

Lili would do a better job at being a therapist than my actual therapist just saying

Stop talking about her boyfriend or her future kids, she's giving this amazing speech and it seems like no one is paying real attention to what she's saying. Like literally all you're talking about is her future kids and her boyfriend and she is so much more than that.

"You are helping the movement of strong, modern women by showing the parts of ourselves that we've been forever told to hide."

Now that is a girl who is dedicated and not afraid to speak up for what is truly right . women should not be afraid to be expressive .size dose not matter! I love Lili a lot now. I am self conscious and this mad me go out in public in short and a tank top thanks for the inspiration Lili!!

“We are all imperfectly beautiful” “let’s celebrate each other as we are, as we will be and as we are meant to be” these are the words I needed

I felt this really close because I have anorexia. I love lili. She is so kind

How does people dislike this woman? So well spoken, I adore her.

Can we all just take a sec that she literally looks like a goddess, bright and beautiful, glowing and that Lil slit... she looks happy and healthy xx

I think Lili is the most inspirational person in the world. She has struggles with depression,anxiety, etc and now is a young powerful woman inspiring other woman and men. She loves to show people how much she loves body positivity and I think that is an amazing personality about her.

*cries* she’s so inspirational. This is exactly what every. Single. Female. Ever. Needs to hear, sadly. ❤️

and yet here i am looking at lili thinking i wish i had her body lol

Loved. Lili is so simple - be it her poetry, speeches, acting or just general outlook on things and the way she portrays and handles herself makes her out to be so relatable. I genuinely relate to her and this speech just adds to my appreciation for her.

Body image is such a sensitive topic to most people, and Lili spoke about it in such a delicately, beautiful way. I'm so glad that we have her as a romodle and a person who can represent such an important message to not only women, but everyone in the world.

¨we aren't born with insecurities, we are told to be insecure" PERIOD .

can u all stop focusing on her boyfriend in the comments this has nothing to do with him lol edit: made this comment a *year* ago when the majority of the comments were about her boyfriend and nothing to do with this video, or the woman speaking about her body-issues. wouldn’t you be frustrated if you had the bravery to give this presentation and all everyone was talking about was the man you were dating instead of...you and your thoughts??? moral of the story is women are worth more than their relationship

All I have to say is: Powerful.

i was here crying and feeling really bad about myself both physically and mentally, and someone told me to watch this. yeah, i don’t feel amazing, but this speech is amazing. everyone should hear this.

I wish I could go back in time and show my thirteen year old self this speech. She was a girl who didn’t attend a pool party because she was to self-conscious to be in a swimsuit around her classmates. She was a girl who cried in the back of the ballet studio changing room because her instructor advised getting a costume two sizes up. She was a girl who dangerously experimented with eating-disorder tendencies such as fasting/purging because she read that her favorite celebrity did it to lose weight. Thankfully, I’m not that girl anymore. Ten years later, I’m a twenty-three year old that treats herself a lot more kindly than she use to. The road to body-positivity has been a struggle and I’m still on that path. Like Lili said, some days are harder than others. To this day I still look in the mirror at my big hips and thighs and I turn into that thirteen year old girl again. But Lili is absolutely right. There are so many body shapes in the world and they should all be embraced and celebrated. No more body shaming, and that starts with ourselves and then we encourage each other. I love when Lili said “embracing your natural beauty does not exclude anyone. You can be naturally beautiful with acne or scars, cellulite or curves. So let’s celebrate each other, and ourselves, as we are, as we will be, and as we were meant to be.” Can I get an amen? I’m so thankful and incredibly happy that the younger generation has someone as bright, honest, and positive as Lili to look up to. Thank you, Lili. Thank you!

I have never came across someone like her in my life, she literally explained in detail the struggles and habits that I had to deal with on a daily basis and I never imagined in my life for my self esteem to improve or increase at least not until I was introduced to Lili Reinhart . I love this incredible brave woman and I’m rooting for anyone who’s going through any similar struggles or insecurities, just know that you’re not alone and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

This is why I deactivated my instagram a few weeks ago and I already feel so much better. It almost drove me into depression and it's so hard to realize since all the memes and quotes make you feel like insta is a relatable place that comforts you. UNTIL you think about why you even feel that certain way. You don't need social medias comfort when you don't put yourself through its toxic traits in the first place. Also your wasting so much time watching others live your dreams instead of working on yourself. Not saying you'll have a perfect life without social media. But a much more focused and real one for sure.

Lesson of the day: “do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (romans 12:2)

SHE IS THE ONLY REASON I WATCH RIVERDALE 🙌🏼

everyone who is calling her perfect is missing the message. the point of this speech is to say she isn't perfect and that's okay. nobody's perfect. yes she's amazing and inspiring but to call her perfect is to disregard this speech.

She’s such a lovely, eloquent young lady. I can’t help but like Lili.

As someone who struggles with anorexia, this meant a lot.

I'm so happy that little girls look up to women like Lili. Females who are strong enough to talk about the real things because they know they should be talked about.

Hey person scrolling down the comments👋

"We aren't born with these insecurities. We are told to be insecure. The perfect world you see is presented you under filters. You are beautiful naturally, embrace it, practice it. Let's celebrate ourselves as we are, we will be and for what we are meant to be...unique, imperfect, beautiful and powerful."

I was / am very insecure about my body because I wasn’t the “ideal” shape and my face wasn’t “perfect”. I constantly judged myself against other people. I belittled my self, catcalling myself constantly. I took a lot of time and effort to realize that my relationship with my body was beyond toxic, that it had affected my self esteem and confidence. I feared that people would leave me because I was “ugly”. I couldn’t be truly open with other people when all I was thinking about was my acne showing and if I looked presentable. I am still on my journey to acceptance of my appearance, I say that I have a way healthier relationship with my appearance, but there’s still room for improvement. I want to thank Lili Reinheart for speaking about physical insecurities and opening about her vulnerabilities. She took one step help us to accept ourselves and be happy with our appearance and is continuing her journey to promote inclusive standards in the mass media. Thank You Lili❤️✨

I could listen to her talk all day someone give her a podcast❤❤

Didn't realise how much I needed to hear this.

I can’t stop watching this video. For so long I’ve felt alone. I felt like no one liked me because of how I looked, but Lili reminds us that we’re not alone, nobody is. She reminds us that looks shouldn’t matter, everyone is beautiful in their own way.

i love this girl she is so beautiful 🥰

Why she hasn’t talk yet on TED talks ??😳🙏🏻💕💕

She didn't say this but "You can't blend in when you were born to stand out"

I could listen to her for days. She’s so inspiring and has a nice voice to listen to

I love how human she is in this. She stutters and wears a form fitting dress and you can hear all the emotion in her voice and I know these are tiny things but they just add to how much she actually cares.

Ugh, I could listen to her talk forever! She has such a relaxing voice. How refreshing it is to listen to someone speak so open and honest about things a lot of us struggle with. She is such a wonderful role model for individuals of all ages. 💕✨

Are we too blind to see that beauty lies beneath the skin?

I dont like riverdale but I have always thought that she is a really mature person and I know she is really talented

By this we can conclude that "Blondes are not Dumb." Cheers.

I don't even know how many seconds of the day i think about my weight, all i know is that it's too much. I loved this speech, and its absolutely true. We are all beautiful in our own way, we need to learn to love our bodies and be healthy not to fit measured sizes but to live longer happier lives.

How she reads everything off screen but still you don't really realize until 7:40 cause she is brilliant !!!! Thank you Lili

As a young girl, I'm so glad I watched this. I've had the same struggles and it's important for messages like this one to become widespread, so that girls like me and my friends can feel happy and confident and secure in our own skins.

she is going to be the worlds most amazing mother. the way she speaks is so formal and mature and smart. shes so... just amazing honestly

‘We are told to be inscure about certain things’. Can I just say this is such a true statement I was like wow! That is one powerful statement. Lilli Reinheart is an amazing speaker and person ❤️

The *world* is lucky to have her 💕💕

This speech will go down in history.

Ugh. I love Lili Reinhart! She’s so inspiring and REAL.💛

So true!!!!! I LOVE this!!!!! Beauty lies within not without!!! No one is without beauty on the inside!!!! Don't judge others, because they look different!!!! And don't judge yourself because you look different!!!! Blending in is boring, standing out is hot!!!!! Have confidence in yourself!!!! Perfect people aren't real! NO ONE IS PERFECT!!!! So embrace your imperfections!!!! That's how you standout in a crowd!!!❤❤

I’m speechless and actually shaking. Wow that was incredible, I respect and love her so much

I started crying when I saw this and how she talked about her insecurities because I related to her so much

Lilli is a beautiful kind hearted soul

lili and cole have the same eye smile. I love her

IRL version of her speech at town hall in RIVERDALE Love you lili

I watch this every night to go to sleep because it makes me feel better about myself and also because I live Lili ♥️

This is exactly how God created us to be ❤️❤️

This is why she is my rolemodel

“You agent born with insecurities, the world teaches you where and what they are” - beautiful x

She is absolutely gorgeous🌸

She is so beautiful. The entertainment industry is insane.

As someone who’s relapsing in an eating disorder, it’s so comforting to hear someone I idolize so much opening up 💗

these things really put what i see about my own body into perspective. i look at lili’s body and think maybe I should lose weight so i can look like her, i think she is one of the most gorgeous women ever. while watching this video i went to look up her measurements because she said something about being average when I thought she was skinny, and turns out my measurements are smaller than hers. it really shows how distorted we see our own bodies and how warped that reflection that we “see” actually is

This is so captivating! I’m so glad more people in the industry are coming out and expressing how toxic some of the standards are we have to conform to! It’s so vital for young women to hear these things when they are constantly surrounded by a world that refuses to accept them for who they are naturally. I’m so proud of Lili for standing up and sharing her experience!

shes such an underrated human being...

Lili is perfect inside and out

Lili is my actual queen. Not because she is an amazing actress but because she is so inspiring. So many girls and women should listen to Lili. She is so amazing and beautiful (in both ways).

The perfect body is the one that has a happy woman inside it.

i don’t watch Riverdale but i now have SO much respect for this woman.

sis why is she so perfect tho like listen to her she’s an amazing actress, she’s beautiful, and she’s giving this beautiful speech ilhsm

I love lili reinhart. that's all I have to say

lili reinhart is a bless for this world 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Saw a snippet of her speech on snapchat and ran over here to see the full speech. Her words speak truth and volumn. Thank you ❤

Lili you are perfect just the way you are!

Cole is soooo lucky to have Lili in his life.

i literally love lili so much. she’s shown me so many ideas and concepts that really just improved me as an individual. before i found out about her, i would struggle with my weight and basically my life. i wouldn’t believe that i was depressed but thought that i could be healthier. the only thing i would worry about was wearing clothes that wouldn’t show off my stomach or thighs. after listening to her ideas, she is honestly a GOD to me. especially with this incredible speech, i’ve learned to love myself. i still struggle but i am a lot more happier than when i was like a year ago. and i really wanna meet her one dayy ❤️❤️

I've always been drawn to Lili because she's so raw and upfront and I love hearing her speak on pressing things. Her instagram lives she hosts with strong, black people who have faced discrimination all their lives has really educated me on what it's like to be in their shoes and the history of racism. She's changing the world so much and she probably doesn't know it. Love you lili.

Whenever I feel like I'm not good enough I watch this video
