We All Have Insecurities: Celebrities Who Don’t Think They’re Attractive

Tamera says her insecurities stem from her being a twin:
“Being a twin people compare and they compare a lot, by default: ‘Oh… She’s the sexy one or she’s the cute one. She’s the goofy one, she’s the sassy one.’
Well, I was known as the goofy cute one. And I used to read our fan mail all the time and that’s what I used to get all the time when I was 16 years old and I kept it. So going to college, I carried that. I was like “Oh, the goofy cute one. I’m not the sexy one.”
So now, to this day, honestly, when people say, “Oh you’re so cute,” there’s a part of me that goes “ugh.” I’m 36 years old, I’m a grown woman, and I have to own that I can be sexy and not only that… Honestly, I wake up every single day and I question that and it doesn’t matter. My husband can be like, “Oh my God, you look so sexy,” and I hate that I always say, “Really? Really?” So I’m going to work through that…”
