Daphne Zuniga's Live Twitter Chat
November 12, 2011
On November 12, Daphne Zuniga took her turn at the @teamtruebeauty twitter page to join you for a LIVE chat and answer some of YOUR questions. Here's a transcript from that day!
DAPHNE: Hi everyone, it's Daphne! Let's chat!
QUESTION: who/what is your biggest inspiration?
DAPHNE: .@kitkatkels23 My mother, my father, my meditation teacher, my therapist and Meryl Streep.
QUESTION For you what is the true beauty? :)
DAPHNE: @FanBJoyGaleotti Self-love. And true self love causes love and appreciation for everyone else.
QUESTION: @TeamTrueBeauty What inspired you to get involved with #teamtruebeauty
DAPHNE: @damienhr TTB turned a negative tweeter into a positive organization for women and girls everywhere.
QUESTION: Why did you decide to get involved with Team True Beauty?
DAPHNE: @ItsMeKaraMarie I'm thankful to have Team True Beauty organization to express myself supporting women&girls w/ their self-image & self love
DAPHNE: One of the most important things in the world is for women&girls to know their beauty & their worth. The world needs it!
QUESTION: I don't really trust me/believe in me , have you got some advice for me? :)
DAPHNE: @FanBJoyGaleotti That's b/c you've been taught negative things about yourself.You need to treat yourself like an innocent child who needs understanding and compassion. Seek support & never give up the desire to love yourself.
QUESTION: What is the most beautiful thing you have seen since joining #TeamTrueBeauty ?
DAPHNE: @Blue__Flowers How all of us all over the world who used to be strangers have come together with our honesty & support for each other.
QUESTION: What is the best advice you can give someone who doesn't think they are worth it?
DAPHNE: @ItsMeKaraMarie Imagine a little girl coming up to you & asking u that question, what would u tell her? Now do it for yourself! Know that..once you're surround by positive, supportive people those negatives beliefs will lose their power over you.
QUESTION: what are you thoughts about the use of photoshop in magazines?
DAPHNE: @fofie_b Look, the illusions of fabricated beauty aren't going anywhere. Photoshop is a part of it. Once we readers say we want more natural beauty in magazines, that will happen. The entire beauty industry is based on money & sales. Let's buy fewer fake beauty magazines & buy ones that fill our brains & don't make us feel not pretty enough!
QUESTION: where do you draw your positivity and amazing light from?
DAPHNE: @Hotrod_chickidi I have faced my negative self-images w/ meditation, therapy & personal growth things. I'm a still work in progress but at the end of the day it's all a part of life & the more you accept you, you how you are, the lighter you become!
QUESTION: What are you most excited about for the TTB event on Jan 7 in LA?
DAPHNE: @damienhr That we all come together in person,finally meet everyone involved & of course to hear my #OTH pals @BethanyGaleotti @everlysong!
DAPHNE: Are there any guys out there? I'd love to hear from you too! ;)
QUESTION do u feel women are often objectified in certain endorsements ??
DAPHNE: @shreyaphadke Of course they are. That's why the movie #Missrepresentation is so important in helping this change! Do not underestimate the [power] in writing letters to products where you don't approve of their advertising & images of women.
QUESTION: Are you an Optimist or Pessimist ? :)
DAPHNE: @FanBJoyGaleotti I'm an optimist-realist. For example I don't deny when things are bad but I do believe shifting one's insides can make things on the outside better.
QUESTION: I give up all the things I do cause I'm don't trust on me , what I can do for ?
DAPHNE: @MissEve223 Stop listening to the lies that are telling you that. Feel how painful that is for you.Choose to not feel this pain of self-abandonment anymore. Choose to feel the joy of acting on & following through on your passion.You deserve that joy! You're given this 1 life so how do u want to spend it? I want u to spend it learning to love yourself.
QUESTION: I struggle w/ comparing myself to celebrities. But even though their hearts & appearances are without a doubt, beautiful...How can I let go of this habit and truly find my own beauty and self-worth?
DAPHNE: Remember that it's all an illusion. When u see celebs like myself or any others we're all primped & pampered to look great but on the inside after the lights are gone, scripts are gone, we still have to learn ourselves too.A brilliant teacher once told us the thing you're so ashamed of is really your gold. Your uniqueness. Learn to love it. The thing you try so hard to to hide from the world will become your most powerful friend once you learn to love it!!
QUESTION: How do you stay strong and believe in you when so much in the world tells you not to?
DAPHNE: When u really feel the pain of not believing in yourself u then have a choice, when the pain becomes u can choose to believe in yourself. Know that nobody is perfect. We're all human trying to do our best.
DAPHNE: When I was little I thought being an actress would help me feel more important. Maybe it does sometimes but being an actress or a celebrity doesn't erase the fact. I still had to learn to love myself.
QUESTION: TTB seems to be geared towards women but what do you say to men out there struggling with the same issues?"
DAPHNE: @richard1826 Be brave enough to express your truth w/ others even though our culture doesn't support men sharing their feelings It's REALLY important to have someone in your life to be honest with.
DAPHNE: Society has been urging men & women to be people that we're not.It's important for both men&women to see this & support each other.
QUESTION: Every time I look in the mirror,my eyes go straight to the things I hate about myself. Any advice on how to get passed that?
DAPHNE: @kathryn_eurms About a year ago I looked into the mirror & started to cry b/c I noticed the side of my ear & it was the only place on my body I had not attacked. Just realizing this made me so sad & made a point to make notes of myself everyday of what I like about me It's important to feel the pain u caused when u criticize yourself.Feeling the pain has potential to start treating yourself with more kindness.
QUESTION: As an actress, have you ever have to do something you don't necessarily agree with in terms of the message it might send?
DAPHNE: @yems28 I'm sure I have. I've been acting for a long time, I started at 19. The odds are I've not agreed w/ everything I've done! But keep in my mind my industry, Hollywood. I just need to make the best choice in the moment.
QUESTION: I have the feeling I cant really be myself with my friends. Does that mean they're not good friends? Am I not a good friend?
DAPHNE: @Nina13_ Hang around people who support u. If u really want that it will happen. Maybe not overnight but just keep focusing on who you really are and see what happens in your life.
QUESTION: What is the thing you love the most in your job?
DAPHNE: @Emmahasle I love the crew & sense of family on the set. I love that I am a part of make-believe.
QUESTION: I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. when i screw up i hate myself&get mad at me... how can i learn that its ok 2 make mistakes, that it's not the end of the world?
DAPHNE: @kalynataras Funny u sound like me! Let's agree we can't be perfect because there is NO such thing! Let's see our "mistakes" as opportunity to do things more skillfully next time.
DAPHNE: Confidence doesn't come from how we make ourselves look. I become confident when I embrace my insecurities as it's just a part of who I am. That makes me more confident. Confidence doesn't come from faking it.
QUESTION: will I reach the point where I stop criticizing myself everyday & start complimenting myself instead?
DAPHNE: @kimmayyx3 ABSOLUTELY SISTER!! Some days you need to shut the inner critics up! The more you share your feelings in a safe environment the more in touch you become with your power and beauty.
QUESTION: I struggled a lot before TTB&I'm getting over it but I still have times when I don't feel worthy. Is this ever going away??
DAPHNE: @LalieMariage Honey that's being called human! Sounds like the rest of us. I still have days & moments where the most positive thing i can do is to choose to love myself anyway. Our parents still have self-doubt. It's just being human. It's okay.
QUESTION: How can you describe in few words the years you've done with the whole #OTHcast ? :) Can't wait to see you.
DAPHNE: @OthLomee I've loved every minute & every thing about the OTH experience. Playing Victoria gave me the chance to play a multi-dimensional woman who started out angry,mean & ended up more connected to her daughter & is now a lot more fun!
DAPHNE: I've loved doing this! Thank u SO much for being a part of it! Love u guys! Hope you'll join us at the TTB site & our holiday support section! [CLICK HERE]
