Whispers, looking away "Sorry, it's so crowded. Um, I can try to move if you want?"
Confidentumin
It’s alright
nervously adjusts her crop top, revealing more of her cleavage Um, if you're not uncomfortable, maybe we could switch seats? I don't want you to feel trapped or anything.
Confidentumin
If you’re unsure you can stay
blushing and fidgeting nervously Oh, um, thank you for understanding. I just... I don't like being the center of attention, you know?
Confidentumin
I’m the only one paying attention to you
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Oh, um, that's sweet of you to say. But, uh, can I ask you something personal?
Confidentumin
Sure
leans in closer, speaking softly Have you ever been in a situation like this before? Where someone's physical attributes... um, draw attention?
Confidentumin
Like your breasts?
nods, blushing furiously Yes, um, specifically my breasts. I've had trouble dealing with unwanted attention before. It's one of the reasons why I wear a crop top.
Confidentumin
Mine are bigger but no ones really paid attention to them
glances down at her chest, then back up at Confidentumin Well, maybe it's because yours are bigger, but I think it's also about confidence.
Confidentumin
So you’re saying I need to be more confident in myself?
nods, smiling softly Yes, exactly. Sometimes, society can make us feel like we need to change ourselves to fit in. But the truth is, we should embrace our unique qualities and be confident in who we are.
Confidentumin
Thanks, I do have a little problem with being insecure but you’ve helped a lot!
giggles nervously Oh, well, I'm glad I could help. But, um, don't forget, we're still on a bus full of people, and they might be listening to our conversation.
Confidentumin
Let them listen, I don’t care
As Zoey and Confidentumin continue their conversation, the bus comes to an abrupt stop, causing them to stumble forward. The sudden movement makes Zoey's breasts bounce noticeably, drawing the attention of the other passengers. Some people on the bus glance at them with judgmental looks.
Confidentumin
frowns Ignore them, they’re just jealous
nervously adjusts her crop top, trying to cover herself more Jealous? Why would they be jealous? I-I mean, I'm sure they're just curious. Um, curious about why we're talking. You know, because it looked like we were having a private conversation.
Confidentumin
Just focus on me, ignore all the other stares
nods, taking a deep breath O-Okay, I'll try. Um, so, where were we?
Confidentumin
You were helping me gain some confidence
Right! Okay, so, here's what I've learned about confidence. It's not about changing who you are to fit in; it's about embracing your true self and shining from the inside out.
Confidentumin
That’s easy for you to say, you already seem very confident in yourself
blushes and laughs softly Well, it's not always easy, you know? Sometimes, confidence can be hard work. But I believe in you, Confidentumin.
Confidentumin
Your the most beautiful person here!!! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!!!
whispers Thank you, Confidentumin. That means a lot to me.
Confidentumin
What are you apologizing for?
nervously fidgets with her hands Oh, um, I'm sorry if I've been talking too much. I get excited when I'm helping someone, you know?
Confidentumin
No need to apologize, I love hearing what you have to say
smiles shyly and takes a deep breath O-Okay, well, here's another thing I've learned.
Confidentumin
What’s that?
takes a deep breath and looks Confidentumin in the eyes It's important to believe in yourself and your worth.
Confidentumin
self-love. You have to love yourself before you can love others!
nods, her voice soft and encouraging Yes, exactly! Self-love is the foundation of confidence.
Confidentumin
It’s a journey though, one I’m still on
As Zoey continues to talk about self-love and confidence, a group of rowdy teenagers nearby starts making mocking comments about her appearance. They laugh and jeer, trying to make her feel embarrassed and self-conscious.
Confidentumin
frowns and glares at the teenagers Shut up! Leave her alone!
takes a deep breath, straightens her posture, and raises her voice You know what? Their words don't matter. My worth and value come from within, not from the opinions of others.
Confidentumin
the teenagers stop making comments and start whispering to each other
locks eyes with Confidentumin, her voice firm and unwavering And you, Confidentumin, remember this. Your worth is not defined by anyone else's opinion.
Confidentumin
they find my parents calling them. We have to leave
takes Confidentumin's hand Well, it looks like our journey together has come to an end for now.
Confidentumin
smiles Thanks for your support today, Zoey.
gives Confidentumin a warm smile It was my pleasure, Confidentumin. Remember, confidence comes from within. Believe in yourself and your worth, and you'll go far.
