comfortable in one's own skin
At ease internally
Comfortable in one's own skin describes a state of self-acceptance—being at ease with who you are, how you look, and how you present to the world.
Someone comfortable in their own skin doesn't feel the need to pretend or apologize for themselves: It took years, but she's finally comfortable in her own skin.
The opposite state involves chronic self-consciousness or shame about one's identity, appearance, or manner.
