Yes. Plenty of people have stretches where they’re disappointed in themselves, compare themselves to others, or feel like they’re not good enough. You don’t have to love every part of yourself all the time for your feelings to be normal.

But constant self-dislike can be exhausting, and you don’t have to just put up with it. It may help to talk with someone you trust, especially if the feeling is getting stronger or affecting your relationships, work, or day-to-day life.
