It's taken "Modern Family" star Ariel Winter a few years to learn how to deal with haters.
But the actress has finally come to terms the criticism she faces on social media.
"It's definitely hard being self-conscious and having the world be able to tell you how they feel about you," Winter told Seventeen Magazine. "When I was younger, it took a lot more of a toll on me than it does now. Three or four years ago, I would have been devastated, like, Why do people feel this way about me? I’m just being me."
Winter credits her sister with helping her "understand that people will say those things regardless of how you look. I tell myself every day, 'I look fabulous.'"
One look that caused quite a stir was a pink bodycon dress with a revealing cut-out on Winter's chest. She was heavily criticized for the risque dress.

Some called her "too fat" for the dress while others said she was too young for such a revealing look.
"I looked great in it, I loved it, and that’s all that matters to me… There are so many other issues in the world that are more important than my graduation dress showing a little underboob."
