comfortable in one's skin
At ease internally
Comfortable in one's skin describes self-acceptance—being at ease with who you are, without anxiety about others' judgments.
The phrase suggests inhabiting yourself naturally rather than wishing to be someone else: After years of insecurity, she finally seemed comfortable in her own skin.
Often appears with "own" for emphasis.
