Always your own biggest critic? THIS video should help you stop

We're often advised to treat ourselves like we treat our best friends, but how many of us actually do it?

When the ladies in our life lament their stretch marks, hair style or wobbly tum, we rush to their defence and insist they acknowledge all their wonderful attributes.

And yet we rarely do the same for ourselves; deciding instead to berate ourselves over every perceived flaw and imperfection.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

In an effort to overhaul her own attitude to her appearance, YouTuber, Rachel Levin, made a video which has racked up an impressive 2.2 million views in four days.

I Am Ugly, which was shared on YouTube on Sunday, shows Rachel struggling to list her imperfections when confronted by her younger self.

"You said my dark circles were too dark, my nose was too big, my lips were too small, and my eyebrows were too bushy," the young girl say to her older self. "What else is wrong with me, Rachel?"

Everyone else picturing their own six-year-old face? Yeah, us too.
