Kim Kardashian knows what people like to judge the fact she’s constantly taking selfies, and she doesn’t care if her love for glamorous pictures makes her seem vain.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star revealed this ability to be true to herself was one of the most empowering life lessons she gained during her almost 10-year relationship with rapper Kanye West.

Speaking candidly to Kristen Bell and Monica Padman on their podcast, We Are Supported By, the 40-year-old opened up about learning to stop caring about the opinion of others.

She stated: ‘Maybe being in a relationship with Kanye for a decade, someone that absolutely didn’t care about likeability factor, or what any perception of him was as long as he was true to himself.

‘That taught me so much in the best way of just being me and living in the moment. You don’t have to please everyone, as long as I’m myself and as long as I doing it the way that I want to do.’

The Skims founder continued: ‘You have one life and you’re living for you. That taught me to be more confident in myself and truly not care as much of what other people thought.’

Calling back to an earlier part of the conversation about her Instagram feed, Kim continued: ‘I’m particularly a person that’s more vain than the average person. It’s probably why I love to curate my Instagram and love to take so many photos.

‘But I became comfortable in that as well. That’s me and that’s what I want to post and this is what I want to do. More so for myself than for an image, and comments and likes. I got to a place where I really didn’t care.’

The KKW Beauty founder added: ‘I used to be such a people pleaser and then I got to just learn to please myself, no matter what that meant to other people.

‘Being myself first was something that I learnt over time, whether it was from being so close to someone that really felt that way so genuinely to their core. Whether it’s age, becoming a mom, experiences… it’s probably all wrapped up in one.’
