I'm REALLY insecure about my tummy... Like, my arms and legs are scrawny as fuck, but my trunk is REALLY thick and it's not really due to fat, it's just the way my ribs decided to be..

The way I look to others.
I usually fix my hair / dress according to how I look in the mirror.
"This looks fine to me, but does it look okay when flipped?"
Sometimes, photos and shit throw me off a lot when I see them.

(Picture very related.)

My weight. I don't look as heavy as I actually am...and it's embarrassing how much I weigh.

I'll start with an actual diet after I get use to a no fructose diet. The first week on it, and I kept just not eating. Not a smart move.

I'm super insecure about my skin, my chest and my tummy. I was teased growing up because I was the first one to get acne, and even though it has cleared up a lot, I'm still very worried about it. I also have a fairly small chest and compared to others I just feel flat and ugly and not really even worthy of looking at. Then my tummy just because I have a little pudge, but I still see it. Hooray for no self-esteem.

I've got a really ugly bump near the top of my nose that pisses the hell out of me because it looks shitty if I move my head to side angles for pictures. It reminds me of a crow nose or something. I'm planning to get liquid rhinoplasty injections (right where the "dip" at the forehead and nose junction) eventually, but that's not until next year or the year after. They would make the small part of my nose raised slightly to where the bump would not be noticible. It just...discourages me from doing some cosplays sometimes because I've got a butterface.

crooked teeth its probably why i never really learned to smile its probably why when i would eat an ex would call me "the beast" its like gnashing teeth everywhere

>>4906776

I am insecure about relationships, I haven't had a single one since I was a kid. I can get laid easily by just going out clubbing but that is not really what I'm looking for.

Maybe it's me not being able to pick up signals but at times I don't believe anyone has been interested in me.

My motives for wanting to study medicine.
A few body things, but they can wait. Or they're difficult to change without surgery.

stretch marks on my ass.

right now I'm insicure about how much I contribute to my cosplay group of sorts... My machine busted last night and I thought I could fix it but I couldn't. Cons in a few days and I feel pretty useless, all I can do is hand sew things right now. I feel like all I'm good for right now is buying shit....

>le sigh.
Feels good to get that off my chest... back to hand sewing! I'll at least do what I can.

>>4906830
Pantsu, stop right there. I think you are GORGEOUS. Your nose doesn't put me off at all. I honestly wish I looked like you. Well, not EXACTLY like you, but I wish I looked MORE like you. You are beautiful just the way you are, and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise.

I don't like how out of shape I am.
If I could pack on some muscle, I think I'd be content.
But apart from that, I'm actually pretty happy with how I am.

uhhh, everything.

no seriously, pretty much the whole body area. i've started seriously tracking my calories with myplate and it's alarming how much sodium i take in a day, and i really struggle with not eating when im out of calories at the end of the day. today i went over on ice cream AND popcorn, because i was stressed after dealing with my sewing stuff.
i'm also very nervous about my sewing skill; i'm up to blouses and jumperskirts, but i'd never make anything for anyone else, no matter how good i thought i was. and i always feel like i still don't know anything about sewing construction or techniques; for instance, i can't place darts without a guide, and i'm not too good with pattern-drafting from scratch. i can at least figure out how to mod a pattern, so i guess i just have to keep practicing?

>>4906839
Ok, this might sound really weird but my husband has stretchmarks on his ass and I think it's really cute. It's like his imperfections make him even more attractive to me. Who knows, I bet whoever you are meant to be with will not find this as a flaw.

How skinny I am, I am underweight at the moment. (5'8"-100lbs) I just have a fast metabolism is all. I look way too bony for characters.

That I am not good enough at anything. This is reinforced by the fact I don't practice enough the things I want to be good at. I AM STUPID.

Appearance wise? Nah. Who gives a shit, we're all gonna get old and wrinkly anyway. Everyone has flaws.

My little brothers/Nan tell me I looked better with brunette hair. Yeah because looking better is why I dyed it. NOPE, it's cuz.. how can you be miserable when your hair is bright as fuck? Cheers me up no end.

I have an almost perfect lolita body, but my face disgusts me. I hate that I'll never be seen as a pretty lolita >:

>>4906873
Are you me!? Seriously.... Creepy.

>>4906776
>What are you insecure about?

Sometimes I hate the fact that I'm asian. People are so fucking racist sometimes FUCK

>>4906888
If I were you I would be more insecure about your fashion sense.


HEYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOH

mostly I'm insecure about my looks, that I'm mostly plain looking and don't stand out at all and sorta just blend into the background, I try hard to be noticeable but that usually ends up backfiring on me, not very good for my self esteem either

My fucking nose.

>>4906902
second

Without going into horrific detail, I'm insecure about how I look naked because I have impossibly high standards on myself.

>>4906845
O-oh my god, your post literally made me tear up. You just made my day, Sassy. Thank you. <3
Maybe one day I'll just learn to accept it, but for now, it will keep bothering me in some way slightly.

>>4906902
BAZING

>>4906926
Oh girl, thirded!

Fat thighs, fat arms.
Wrinkles around eyes and mouth.
Sits errywhere.
Huge chin and nose.

That even after losing a lot of weight I still look unappealing (6'1, 175lbs) I'm reminded of the bumper stickers that say "I may be fat, but you'll always be ugly." and feel like they're talking to me.

How I photograph in pictures. I have this constant freak out of how not to fidget or blink too much when getting my picture taken, so I fear that I'll have some derpy face. I keep trying to practice in the mirror, but it's still a struggle and it keeps me from being too confident in being around people and making some derp face in photos.

>>4906929
No need to thank me, dear! I'm just telling the God-honest truth! I love you to bits and bones!

My freckles, they are on my nose and the top of my cheeks D:

>>4906879
You could do some kind of classic coord that involves a veil, maybe? Are there such things? If not, be a trendsetter!

>>4906829
I was serious before when I said you were lovely. I hope that doesn't come across as creepy but I'm disappointed that you disagree.

>>4906843
Good on ya! Keep up the good work.

I have insecurities about keeping my friends happy by not just dropping them. Ever since I ruined a 16 year friendship with my best bud I've been replacing him with other firends who I hang out with for a few months and then I stop and find a replacement without even thinking about it. So friends get pissed about how we "never hang out any more." I think its a deeper psychological issue than that, but I need to vent and procrastinate Accounting.

Take photos and make con/cosplay videos without vendettas. (I can take criticism, thanks.)
I just want to enjoy my cosplay while it lasts.

>>4906956

aha okay I obviously over-exaggerated there, its not so bad I need to cover myself from the general public...

But people expect lolitas to have pretty, cute faces and I'm decidedly plain.

What worries me is that people will judge my style and coords more harshly because i'm not cute and pretty :C

My gigantic penis. I always feel like I'm "on display," so to speak. I need to wear clothing a few sizes larger to accommodate it.

>>4906918
Anon, are you me? I hate my nose too...

>>4906882
Well, good for you for not being stuck on your appearance! Take that, vanity.

Bad for us that our problems can't be fixed with a few bouts of plastic surgery. >:|

>>4906996

You should try a lobotomy

>>4906955
but freckles are cute... what is the problem?

>>4906918
>>4906993

Pretty much just whether other people think me creepy or annoying or not... pretty much comes from the fact that for a long time I was annoying... and when not annoying... kinda creepy... and I'd like to think that behind me... but damn do I worry.

>>4907002
Har har har.

Granted that would technically solve my problems but why would you do that when death is more preferable.

>>4906955

Nothing wrong with freckles, it can be very cute.

>>4906984
Aha, then I bet some better makeup is all you need! Try focusing on improving in that area, spend some time watching youtube tutorials and such and practicing. I expect to see you share your progress, too.

And hey, give that veil idea some thought, you may not need one but there could be money in it...

>>4906973
Sounds very familiar, Smoker. I know I don't hang out with any of my old friends anymore, and it's not for lack of effort on their part.

>>4907016

'Cause I don't want you to.

My insecurities?

I'm fat. I try to eat healthily and exercise but I keep giving up.
Also, I hate my nose. If my nose was broken, it would be the double of Owen Wilson's nose.

I'm kind of chubby, have broad shoulders, generally big bone frame. I don't feel dainty like I should even if some people say I'm cute or adorable. I feel so manly sometimes.

I'm also hairy. I mean not like thick black arm hair, but still. I also don't feel I should have to shave my body to be accepted by society.

My style isn't always girly. In fact, it can be pretty tomboy. Probably doesn't help towards my feeling manly thing even if I look in the mirror and like the way I look a lot of the time.

Then sometimes I worry that my big personality will scare people off because I come off strong.

>>4907025
But you'd rather I was a vegetable instead. I SEE.

>>4907011
>>4907023
I just always admired how some girls have that flawless skin that's white like show and looks very soft *w*
But I do like freckles on other people, I don't really know why not on myself, I guess just because everyone I grew up with didn't have them.

>>4907035
Oh yeah, and I am working on losing that weight. I've been stagnating after losing 10 pounds.

A lot of stuff

My stretch marked body, mainly. I ballooned up from 125-130 to 170lbs in less than a year a bit back due to stress eating and whatever and I have stretch marks on my inner thighs, calves, upper arms, stomach, and butt. It's still pretty noticeable though not as deep as they were before so I'm pretty paranoid if people are staring at them when I walk if I wear bermudas or shorts or dresses.

My chipmunk cheeks. I've always had these so they can't actually go away even when I was <120lbs but sometimes I just end up looking weird with this kinda face

Face shape. When I turn to the side, it's kinda a sharper square? so it makes my face looks giangtic

My hips or whatever. Whenever I wear tighter jeans or just dress pants, I always have a problem with this. It makes it look way too tight when it's the correct size. The pants ends up squishing my butt. I have yet to find a pair of nice dress slacks or dress skirt that won't make it look like my hips have a giant tumor on either side OR if I find a nice pair of jeans that fit my legs but doesn't fit my hips. And if I go one size up, its too loose everywhere else. I just end up looking shorter than I already am.

My calves. Holy shiet. My calves are huge. It's partially muscle now but I cry every time I find a nice pair of straight/skinny jeans on sale but I can't make it past my calves


I don't know. I'm sure there is more but those are the biggest ones

I want to put a little hat and bowtie on my parrot.

It makes me feel insecure that I can not.

I HATE EVERYTHING.

I'm SUPER short and petite, but godammit I will never have gorgeous long, skinny legs - or a long, hour glass torso - or beautiful breasts or fucking anything!

I am stuck in a prepubescent body, and it feels so bad sometimes.

>>4907053
>an animal owning an animal

you monster.

>>4907057
I enjoy those types. makes em easy to carry.

>>4907037

:D

>>4907035
>I'm also hairy. I mean not like thick black arm hair, but still. I also don't feel I should have to shave my body to be accepted by society.

Well hang on now, you're insecure about your body hair but you don't want to shave it to spite society? If the hair makes YOU unhappy and you don't shave it because "society says I should but fuck those guys I'm an individual" then you're allowing society to dictate your actions anyway. Unless of course the only reason it makes you unhappy is that society doesn't like it but... that largely amounts to the same thing if you ask me.

Never mind, I don't know what I'm talking about.

>>4907068
I'm okay with my body hair. What I'm insecure about is other people not being okay because images of plasticized women are so prevalent. Even something as common as a tiny bit of foot hair is grotesque according to a couple kid's shows for teeny boppers.

>>4907046
I think you should splurge on getting a few outfits tailored to fit you, it shouldn't really be that expensive and having clothes that fit properly will boost your confidence. As we all know off-the-rack stuff does not necessarily fit every body shape, even if you get the right size number-wise.

>>4907057
I sorta know how you feel, Anon. I'm doomed to be a forever shorty with tiny boobs. I do like my legs and torso part of my body, though. It's okay. We'll get through this somehow. Some guys dig the whole things we've got going on, y'know?

>>4907057

>>4907062 This

>>4907099
Ah, gotcha.

My height and weight. I'm a tall gangly skinny person and sometimes I just feel plain awkward. As in how I move, I bet I look awkward to other people.

My height...I'm way too tall for a girl. I'd kill to be short and cute for once.

Also don't like how one of my breasts is noticeably smaller than the other if you look at it and how I'm slightly above average female height and as tall or taller than some of the guys I end up liking.

That's what I get for liking some Asian guys, I guess, and living in a place with tons of Viets.

>>4907127
Again, as a tall man, I see no problem with tall. I've always wanted to be able to make out with a girl and not hurt myself in the process. Neck cramps hurt.

>>4907139
Tall asian reporting in.
I wish I was shorter.

I get so insecure when I see other pretty girls. I know I shouldn't be jealous because there will always be prettier girls, but I can't do anything about how I feel.

>>4907151
Lol. I'm that tomboyish girl that thinks you're cute but have no chance with you. :b Not to mention internet crushes don't usually work out.

I wish there were more cute tall Asians around where I live.

>>4906956
Hnng. Thank you so much TL;DR !!

My height. My legs/stomach/breas- well. actually my entire body. But not obsessively so.

My hair makes me self conscious. I wish my skin was better, but i don't want to wear makeup.

I feel like i dress like a hobo. And not in a fashionable way.

I'm insecure about my interests, and i hate how i act like i hate everything when i actually really like it but don't want to show people my emotions.

I'm pretty much an insecure wreck. Oh well.

>>4907147
Some of us short girls like the whole tip-toe-pushing-down-on-shoulders-for-support type of kissing, though. A lot of guys find it cute despite them having to reach down, too.

>>4907164
6'3
>>4907165
It is cute, for a while. Then it just hurts.

>>4907102
Maybe. I've just been wearing stretchy skinny jeans that still gives me the same problem but at least fits decently but I can't have that only in my closet. I know UNIQLO can alter some clothing without charge from what I heard. I'm just scared of being dissapointed again

My hips are incredibly uneven due to scoliosis. As much as I think my body is ok to do a bit more scantily clad characters, I feel like people could easily see this.

It also affects how my waist looks in general.

I'm insecure about my hair. It's very fine and does not style easily. I also have a massive cowlick/widows peak and I don't think that I could easily get bangs to cover up my massive forehead.. I know I could wear a wig for lolita, but they just make my head look tiny.

>>4907171
That's why you find ways around to just boring old standing up kissing.

Sometimes I don't like my hair. It's hard to manage and I can't afford to get it fixed up anytime soon. When I do, not much I can do with anyways since I refuse to straighten it because I think straight hair looks nasty on me.

One of my eye lids is slightly droopier than the other but others don't notice even when I've pointed it out.

I also sweat really easily even when I'm eating healthy, which is the majority of the time.

>>4907165

Hnnghhhh

>>4907171
Just prop them up on a table or on your legs?

>>4907165
I always wanted to do that with a guy. You tiny girls are so lucky.

>>4907187
Just get a taller guy

>>4907184
See? You like?

>>4907173
I know this too well. My hips are so unven, and it makes things difficult when I'm making cosplays because my measurements are all wonky. Mine are not so noticibly off, but one can still tell. Honestly, you look like you have a rockin' body, and don't let things like that discourage you! You got a nice core, so why not flaunt it?

>>4907185
I love doing these two suggestions.

I'm pretty short for a dude, and while my body proportions are just fine, the lack of height kind of sucks.

Also, my facial features constantly make me look angry (or at least annoyed) and tired. ALL THE TIME. (Baggy, dark eyes, stress creases, etc...)

I have been told by people on many occasions that when they first met me, they were pretty sure I was going to be an asshole until they got to know me.

I'll just greentext mine.

>horrible teeth

>>4907208

Like? It is probably the cutest thing I know. My heart cries whenever I think about it.

I guess I always feel like people build up some image of me in their head when they see me/talk to me online, then when I meet them in person, I don't live up to their expectations.

That's why I am really nervous for the /CGL/ meet thins weekend, because I am scared I won't be good enough.

Nope.jpg

>>4907231
IF I EVER MEET YOU SHAYNII, I EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE MEETING APHRODITE HERSELF.

>my smile
It's not even my teeth that bother me, it's that I simply fail at smiling. If I smile too soft, you can't tell I'm even trying. If I smile too hard, my upper lip disappears. I cannot find a balance between the two, especially on such a short notice as, "Hey, can I get a picture of you?"
So I try to cosplay characters who aren't prone to smiling, but that falls through anyways.
As a result, my face always looks stupid in photos.
Sigh.

>>4907237
DAMN IT SMOKER, IF I HAVE TO BE LIKE APHRODITE, THEN I'M EXPECTING ZEUS WHEN I SEE YOU

>>4907243
FINE. COME AT ME BRO.

>>4907248
I will.

I'm insecure about my body.
I know I'm not fat by any means, but I definitely have a bit of pudge.
I've taken /cgl/'s advice to heart and I've been losing weight, but I always worry I won't look as good as I can.
Cosplay is about looking good, so I'm always subconciously thinking "Oh man, I hope no one thinks I look stupid or anything" especially when I go to meet people.

Also... I sorta feel I disappoint people in real life.
Like, they see me out of costume and they always tell me "WOW YOU LOOK NOTHING LIKE I EXPECTED AT ALL".
I never know what to say to that.

>>4907262
Just be all "Expect the unexpected bitch!"

>My height being too tall
>My head not being the right shape
>My eyebrows being to big
>My forehead being too big
>My hair not being nice
>The mere presence of body hair
>Not being cute enough
>Not having a pretty enough voice
>Not being able to trap well eventhough people tell me I do just fine

I just want to be pretty...

>>4907272


....


Just be all "Expect the unexpected bitch!"

I really wish I was more outgoing. I'm almost hating being introvert.

I'm insecure about not being noticed. It's not like I have a shit personality, either.

I feel overshadowed by so many people and it makes me feel as unimportant as everyone is.

>>4907277
Whoa, there are /cgl/ meetups @ Acen?
I'm totally going.

my tummy :(

Lol. Dwelling on my insecurities makes me feel like crying after what happened last night. Confidence was knocked down some.

BRB, being a gigantic pussy.

>>4907277
Wish I could be there to accept it but... I'm in SoCal.

I don't think I'll ever be able to cosplay, ever.

The first reason is because of my weight. I'm working on getting that down though, so eventually that won't be as big as a setback.

The other reason though is the fact that I am a shy attention whore. I don't know any other way to explain it. I have a love-hate relationship with having people paying attention to me. I'll do something and ask people "Did you see it? Did you see what I did?" And then feel terrible that I went about making sure people payed attention to something I did.

I am insecure about my head shape. It's all lumpy from my fat cheeks and my square jaw. :( I would totally get korean v-line surgery, except it's expensive and seems pretty risky.

Losing the genetic lottery is depress.

>>4907285
forgot to mention my fear of soccer mom arms

>>4907235

>>4907304
tricep extensions and heavy skullcrushers

>>4907235
are you my twin....

I hate my pubes. I really like my body, and I'd love to show it off with a bikini, but if I shave or wax my bikini line I get horrible ingrone hairs all over that scar :x

>>4907161
You bet, CC.
And if it makes you feel any better, I was the first in my group to hit puberty/get acne. Still trying to get rid of it, and have only found temporary fixes so far. So, I know that feel.

>>4907238
>move to europe
FFFF I lol'd
Sorry Eurofriends, I'm sure you have perfectly nice teeth.

>>4907172
I am not familiar with that brand, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

>>4907240
Hm... practice in the mirror? That's the best I can come up with, sorry.

>>4907281
Try doing something bold for a change? Get yourself out there; mingle. Go up to a group/person at a con and start up a conversation. Heck, even complimenting someone at a con in their cosplay could strike up some kind of conversation.

>>4907228
It's even more beautiful when you do it, but sadly, I haven't been able to in quite a while.

>>4907231
Aww, bro don't ever feel that way. The way I presume you to be will not change if and when I ever meet you. You will always be my fellow cute moe bro and nothing will ever change that. <3

>>4907317
...that is to say, still trying to get rid of the acne, not the puberty.

Good lord, now I'm imagining going through twelve solid years of puberty.

>>4907316
I KNOW THAT FEEL.

Fucking shit.

I've been exfoliating like hell and applying lotion with AHA and bought a bottle of vitamin E oil. and the scars are starting to fade.

Forever ashamed of my pubic hair.

>>4907316
UGH. I get ingrown hairs and those red bumps. It makes me not want to go swimming.

>>4907332
Hmmm maybe I should try some Vitamin E oil...

I don't know about you, but I blame my ingrone hairs on the fact I have thick hispanic hair, but like all of my friends are mostly white and never get ingrone hairs (maybe just a coincidence) so I feel super alone. I'm wondering if the no no hair thing would not give me ingrone hairs but idk...

I am very insecure about my smile.
I lost my dental insurance when I was 8, so I never got braces.
I also grind my teeth because they sit funny. [Probably due to never being corrected.]

I feel like a gremlin when I look at pictures where I smile with my full teeth. However, I don't know how to get good dental insurance, or if I'm even still within the being-fixed zone.

Pic related, it's the face I make in every picture because I don't wanna smile.

>>4907320

And that is also why my heart cries. I need to find myself a short petite girl asap.

> And so a new journey begins

>>4907336
>>4907316
I'm not even fucking around here; I never understand why women who are concerned with hair removal problems don't actually consult a trusted guy on the matter... I mean think about it - guys are pretty experienced with hair removal, plus we have do to it on our faces/lips/neck... not to count those of us who try to keep up the appearances of 'other' areas too. There are some pretty good tricks and products out there. Razor bumps - guys are no strangers.... talk to the experts about it!

>>4907346
I'm white. but my problem is super FINE hairs. their so fine they can't grow back right.

I've tried waxing, shaving, plucking. sugaring. everything. The fuckers don't want to grow right. And i hate pubic hair so much.

I exfoliate twice a day, and apply the lotion and oil twice a day right after. Its really improving, but i'm sure i'll still have some scars left. I'm just afraid of what any future boyfriends might say :/ i can either be hairy (Ugh) or bumpy and scarred....

FML

>>4907350
Wear sunglasses like in the pic, then you'll look like a badass. Smiling is overrated!

I'm insecure as to whether or not I'll ever feel love again after so many fucked up relationships. I'm young and given a few years I'm hopeful about it, but the trouble is I've already met and am with the girl I think is the one. I'm worried that I'm essentially going to friend-zone my girlfriend, and never develop deeper feelings than what I already have for her. But she's completely head-over-heels in love with me, and is totally fucking perfect for me.

I was in a relationship with my best friend for a while and realised that my feelings for her didn't extend beyond those of a friend, but she was in love with me, so I had to break her heart. Having to break this girls heart too would kill me, and only make my recovery take longer. But I'm pretty sure I'm not going to end it with this girl, even if I figure out my feelings won't get stronger, because if I can't fall for this one, I sure as hell won't fall for another.

That all being said, I do really, really like her.

>>4907363
All the guys i've met just shave with the same razor for weeks with either just water or shampoo.

If i did that to my nether regions. My shit would look like i got mauled by a squirrel.

>>4907363
Then why don't you enlighten us?

I've tried those acne medicines that they suggest to try on the bikini line so I don't get the red bumps and sometimes pimples from infected sebaceous glands I guess. I've also tried tea tree oil. Nope. Hasn't worked.

>>4907363
Care to share any tips then :3?

>>4907364
>I exfoliate twice a day

I'm no expert on the subject, but doesn't that damage your skin?

I feel like I'm not attractive enough for my boyfriend. I'm kinda fat, he's a stick. He could get a better looking girl if he wanted. He's going to Vegas this weekend and I'm being left behind (I'm under 21). I'm afraid I'll lose him to some chick he meets and he likes more or that he'll fuck some random chick in Vegas while he's crossfaded as fuck. UUUUGH. My mind. It wanders. And I don't like it.

>>4907364
I'm super white. Can't even get a proper tan, only for me the hair is thick and dark and will sometimes get ingrowns but it also itches sooo much growing back then infected red bumps from shaving.

I've pretty much just trim, now.

My teeth. While they aren't terrible, I hate smiling. My front teeth are crooked inward, so it looks dumb when I smile with my teeth showing. Also, my nose is big. I also look retarded when I talk. Especially when I see myself talk on video.

Also, small Asian eyes. Fuck. I even wear circle lenses for cosplay to make them look bigger but when I smile, it makes my eyes look tiny.

One of my breasts is smaller than the other. I am still flatchested though.

My abdomen has small, fine, but dark hairs. Do people usually shave their abdomens?

I'm afraid that I'm uninteresting and that my boyfriend prefers to hang out with other friends than talk to me, even though it's probably not true and silly. I feel stupid for even typing that out.

>>4907388
If he doesn't good on you.
If he does and doesnt tell you, your still golden.
Also long distance doesn't work well, so he'll prolly leave you for someone closer, not some slut outta town.

>>4907359
FLY, ANIKI. YOU WILL FIND THAT PERSON, AS WILL I. SOON. I HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS.

>>4907398
He's not moving there, he's just going for the weekend with friends. And I wouldn't be golden if he did and didn't tell me. That's fucked up beyond all belief because I've been loyal to him and I deserve the same thing.

>>4907399

AND FLY WE SHALL, BLINDLY TOWARDS THE STARS. SOON.

>>4907385
o_o Yeah I'm pretty sure it does. I thought that most exfoliants recommend to exfoliate 2-3 times a week (and this is if you have oily skin/live in a humid environment. Once a week is recommended for sensitive skin). Washing one's face twice a day (morning/night) is fine for the most part.

>>4907392
STAY THE COURSE, ASIAN SISTER
YOU WILL FIND YOUR WAY.

My weight, that's a big one (no pun intended). I've been working on getting it down, but when you have little choice over shopping its hard to get fresh stuff. Exercise is difficult with my joints, I popped my knee out of place on an elliptical. My stretch marks go with that I suppose.

I have bad teeth. Crooked due to not having dental as a child (and only bare minimum as teenager) so I never got braces. Plus they're horribly soft, I probably will have dentures at 50 due to how sensitive/degraded they are.

My hair. Everyone says it's a pretty shade and so nice because its thick... but it sucks. The ends of my hair flip outwards and I get horrible knots in it. Plus the color is really bland, I'd like it darker or lighter. But the shade is just meh. Dark brown doesn't look that good on pale skin.

Oh yeah, and then there's my speech problems. Tons of ear infections as a kid meant I didn't learn to talk until age 5, and then it was slurred and slow. I didn't start speaking correctly until 8th fucking grade, and still to this day I trip up on my words and have a bit of a slur.

>>4907385
Not with a scrub. with a loofa.

Vigorous scrubbing with a soft loofa is fine.

>>4907059
Smoker says mean things about me.
This makes me feel insecure.

>>4907412
We aren't talking about face though. this is my nether regions.

I dont use a scrub or anything like that, a washcloth or a loofa with some warm water twice a day to keep things in check.

My friends
Online or real life. I've been stabbed quite a few times, so I always feel insecure about them, always scared to end up all by myself.

Insecure about acne, I've had it since I was 14 and am now going on 24. I've tried everything short of going to a dermatologist because I'm cheap. It doesn't bother me too much any more, it's gone down a lot and is generally only a few blemishes here and there. I'd just really like to know what it's like to have completely clear skin again.

My weight, my flabby upper arms, and my stretch marks. They all go hand-in-hand.

I'm trying really hard to lose weight, but I need to figure out how to stop my cravings for junk food. I'm also going to try working out, it's just hard to commit to when I'm exhausted most days.

>>4907452
You can have junk food. Just don't stuff your face with it. Portion it out into more manageable calories.

>>4907377
>>4907376
OK, I'll give you as much as I got.

1st- Get a GOOD razor (and by good, I mean +20 dollar MEN'S razor). All our Mach 9000s and Quattros and Cincos and shit, truthfully, tend to be higher quality than even top line womens' razors. It need's to be sharper than shit (less strokes = less irritation)

2nd Change your blades CONSTANTLY. Gnarly pube hair does a number on the blades of even the best razors. Depending on the consistency of your body hair, you may only be able to use the same blade for 1-2 shavings... it kinda sucks when the blades are pretty pricey, but you gotta kinda feel this one out - it varies by the person.

3rd: Keep them clean as hell. After you are done, rinse them in alcohol/barbasol or some shit. Store them in a CLEAN, DRY place (shower is BAD). Maybe in a medicine chest or whatnot... away from humidity.

4th: Prep prep prep. Hot water and disinfecting soap. Scrub the SHIT out of the spot you are shaving... it disinfects the area, debrides dead skin, and most importantly stimulates the hair folicles so that they will stand more erect, lessening your chance of an ingrown. Also hotter water is better - hot water helps soften the hairs. Also DON'T SHAVE IN STANDING BATH WATER. That is the same water that you have washed funk off your armpits and ass into... you don't want that anywhere near the shaving area.

cont...

>>4907481

5th: Whatever lotion you use, make sure it adequately moisturizes and HAS NO ALCOHOL IN IT. My GF also prefers to use my shaving gel - says it works better than her top o the line stuff, but I guess that is personal preference...

6th: Resist the urge to go against the grain at first! You have t condition your skin to get used to this routine... start by only going with the grain; won't be as close as you like at first, but there will be far less irritation... work up to against-the-grain shaving slowly and by the time you are doing it you should have minimal problem with irritation.

7th: use some kind of after-shave product that has minimal alcohol in it - you want something that is going to 'brace' the hair folicles (basically make them stand up again) so that they aren't likely to grow out sideways into your skin. Too much alcohol and it will dry the skin, but you want something again that has antiseptic qualities...

...bear in mind that sweat is your enemy here. Ideally you would want to wear something that breathes well, but if you wear tight-fitting pants or whatever normally, there are gonna be some bumps that you simply can't help.
...How's that ladies?

>>4907432
Awww Piplup. Don't feel that way. <3 I still love you, bro. You'd be an awesome Pokemon person friend thing to have around. I could dress you up in such adorable clothes.

>>4907481
.. This sounds like something I can't afford until I get a job. ; --;

>>4907486
So what about how badly it itches growing back in?
If I try to shave a day or two afterwards, it cuts skin because hair growing back I guess. So I get razor burn.

No bleeding, but irritation out the butt

I know I should have something to be insecure about, but I really can't think of anything.

>>4907488
omg yes~
can we be rori?

>>4907486
I've done every last bit of this. and my hair is still growing back fucked up, bumpy, and ingrown.

I guess theres just no hope for me.

My workmanship.
Doesn't matter what it is, I'm insecure about it.
This includes everything from props, to hygiene, grooming, house work, cleaning, whatever.

this thread makes me happy and sad at the same time.

i'm insecure about every single thing i do. haha. i'm constantly trying to improve myself, but i don't really notice when i've done something well, so i never feel like i'm getting anywhere. i would really like to make more friends and be more social, but i feel like i bore people when i try.

i hate my looks. i want to look completely different. idk. it's frustrating to see something different than what everyone else sees. (i have BDD.) i want to stop worrying about what i really look like. i don't want people to tell me i'm not a landwhale when that's what i see in the mirror. this is my reality, how can i really trust that people aren't lying/being nice to me when they tell me i'm skinny/normal? i want to lose weight, but i worry everyone when i say that because they know about my image of myself and they think i'll go too far. and if i do workout and my body changes, will my image of myself ever change? dhsufier idek.

please excuse my baww, i'm feeling pathetic.

>>4906830
hush yo mouf woman, you're adorable at every angle.

I have violin deformity.

I'm insecure about... Just about everything.
I'm finally getting to be okay about my body, still a bit irritated with my stomach, but it's not TERRIBLE I guess...
Insecure about my voice... And my face... My drawings...

On a more /cgl/ related note, I'm terrified of starting to sew my costumes because I'm convinced I'll fail them. I'm also starting to think that I look out of place in Lolita, but I love it so...

I also feel like I'm mind-numbingly boring, but...
/Just being insecure in general

I can't talk for shit. I've spent the last couple of years speaking once or twice a week, so now when I have to actually talk to someone I trip all over my words and mumble and feel like a retard. Probably made worse by the fact that my entire face turns red every fucking time. Ugh.

No mussel and I really don't know much about anime/manga or comics/cartoons. I love going to cons and dressing up but when you try to start a conversation with people that know a lot more than you do it ends up with them thinking that your a poser or something.

>>4907418
pssht..I very much doubt I'm any prettier. I'm losing my hair, have way too much cheekbone, and tons of scars. People would mistake me for a guy but I wear lolita so they just thinkk I'm a trap ;_;

>>4907505
Of course!

>>4907526
Your post means that we need some serious girly time soon. <3 I know I've said this before, but you are a very beautiful girl that lights up a room with your personality.

Also, guuuuuuurlfriend, you be kidding. I sure ain't adorabuu.

>>4907526
See, I dont understand, we are the ones that look at you more than you should look at yourself, and you are more than fine. Are we taking look different like black woman with attitude? I'd rather you didn't look like a black woman with attitude.

>>4907173
dklgjdh same here, I do my best to hide it but I'm still super self conscious about it :( I mean, I do my best to hide it with angles, but, it still doesn't seem to be enough.

My bottom lip is super asymmetrical, one side is way fuller/more turned up than the other so my facial expressions are always really wonky.

>>4907530
I know this feel. I mumble or just trip over words when I am excited, especially if I am making an effort to not sound like a retard. The only real difference between you and me is I talk everyday with my roommates or online so I have even more opportunities to make myself look like an idiot.

What I am really insecure about is my legs, I have thick calves and ankles because I have very loose ligaments and my muscles have to make up for it. I wish I could have beautiful doe like legs but I have to deal with my large clunky ones or I wouldn't be able to walk without falling all the time. On the plus side I rolled my ankle so many times as a kid i have managed to kill off or severely dull all of the nerve endings and rolling my ankle no longer hurts.

>>4907556
huifdhger wat? i don't understand why you're so nice to me. thank you.
you're super kawaii uguu desudesu and you know it.

SLEEP OVAHHH~*~**~ I'M EXCITED!

>>4907568
ITAQUEEN YOU ARE A FABULOUS BEAST, SHUT UP.

...Actually I'm wondering if you remember that we've met before, at the Sakuracon lolita fashion show this past spring. I was a mess though, I was sick and bloated and not all there so if you don't remember me it'd probably be for the best @_@

Sage because I don't want this to be a circle jerk I'm sorry I'm sorry ;A;

>>4907171
awww yeah

I know that feel... Being 6' and a 5'5" bf kinda straining
>>4906955
freckles are cute damn it!!!

I'm insecure about... I guess over all? I'm in a better place then I was when I was younger... I have these days where I'm like fuck yeah I'm sexxxy I would do me so hard!!! But then I have 1 bad day and it knocks me down for days...

That and I'm always second guessing myself... I really want to become a make up artist... But I'm so scared of failure that I can't seem just to go for it

>>4907588
Last girl I dated was 5'1. Lots of straining.

I don't know how to advance relationships in a steady way, it's either too fast or too slow and I don't realize it.

Oh, and sometimes photographs at cons, cause I don't know if I looked terrible or anything until several days after.

I am self conscious about my personality. I don't think I am feminine. I love cute things but I feel like it would be jarring for people to see my try it. I dug myself this hole by not being serious ever, always making jokes and being to afraid to not nervously react like that to serious things like I picture real girls doing. I don't know if it makes sense.
Also I want to be "cute pretty" but I'm more "sexy pretty" if you know what I mean. This is dumb and I should be happy I have suitors at all, I know but it is just my preference. I bet if I didn't like anime I wouldn't have this problem. Curse you, cute moe characters.

>>4907578
It's just how I am. Plus, I wanna get to know you better!

Yeeeeeeees me seriously need to have one of those cliche girly sleepovers with all the silly things included.

AND I DON'T KNOW IT. NO. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE.

>>4907618
you and me*
derp

The weight I've gained since I changed meds. It's not a lot (maybe ten pounds) and most people don't notice, but it's there, staring at me in the mirror every morning when I go to shower. It's there, jiggling as I walk. It's there, stubbornly clinging above my hips and on the insides of my thighs.

I also have had to cancel my gym membership since I'm moving soon. I need to just fucking get over it and do something, though. Change my diet. Start exercising outside instead of in the air-conditioned treadmill-filled warehouse of a gym. It's practically a furnace outside these days, so I'd probably sweat it all off in a week.

>>4907568
ASKLFJHAKSFJH. YOU ARE LIKE THE PRETTIEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET, AND YOU ARE SUPER NICE WHILE YOU ARE AT IT.

my hair. I have super curly hair that an ounce of humidity destroys :C

Mousse and gel as a sealant and using a diffuser can help tame some of the frizz. Diffuse with head upside down.

For me, it's my height. I'm only 5'2 for a 25 year old guy which suck balls, and to make it worse i'm somewhat androgynous and young looking. I'm constantly getting mistaken for someone who's around maybe 15 or so. I'm constantly getting laughed at at my gym, what with me being the little guy amongst a room of dumbass hulks. ( do you know how embarrassing it is to have to use a step or get a boost to reach the pullup bar ?) And yes, I did get seriously pissed I'm picked on about it.

But, I do have 2 things I absolutely adore - my hair and voice. I'm always getting compliments from women about how pretty my hair is. I wear it longer and in a somewhat womens style (yeah , like that helps with androginy), so as long as I like it and get compliments then I'm good. I also love my voice. For my size I have a strangely deep and low voice. It's so MANLY I love it. Plus I get a real kick out of seeing peoples faces when they see me and expect a boyish voice and out comes MANLY MAN voice.

I'm skinny but really flat-chested and the issue is I frequent comic/scifi conventions and find myself wanting to cosplay /co/ characters but they all have giant tits. I really want to cosplay Elizabeth from the new Bioshock as I am a huge Bioshock fan but I am really, really flat. Sigh. I'd never get a boob job but still. I can't even wear most dresses because they aren't built for someone with a AA cup size...

I hate crying in front of people. I really do, even when it's okay to cry like at a Funeral. I hate it.

>>4907706
Its ok bro, bring it in.

Nothing about my appearance bothers me so much as my mental issues.

I am diagnosed with Asperger's but I'm not even sure how much of my issues are caused by it.

I have few friends. I'm bad at making friends. I'm bad at talking to people I'm unfamiliar with. I'm bad at being in groups of people I don't know. Being in situations like those gives me such bad feelings, like I feel like I could die, before I've even done anything. Even if I'm just chatting with people online. If I'm in the general area of people I don't know, and if my friend leaves, I just... Can't say anything. And the silence kills me. Because I know I could end the awkwardness by saying something but I'm too afraid to. It's even worse with the casual acquantences I've made over the internet (yes, with the help of friends introducing me...) I'm that person you'll IM and I'll reply, with something that's not easy to reply to, or whatever it is making them not reply to me, and I'll just sit there, in silence, for hours. Like I think I can't say anything else until someone else says something.

>>4907808
And then there's my mood swings. Idunno if it's caused by PMS or what. And I hate being ignored when I've finally gotten the courage to FINALLY SAY SOMETHING. I hate how I get so bored these nights like right now. All of the things I do for fun require at least one friend, and when all of my friends are busy, or ignoring me, I'm left to fume in boredom and my mind wanders wildly until I'm convinced that all of my friends hate me or are just too busy for me. And by the time that sets in, I'm too pissy to even want to play an offline RPG or sew anything or do ANYTHING other than sulk and fume and generally be a bitch in my head.

And the problem? I have to bottle this shit up. Because I know if I confront my friend(s) for this then it won't even be reasonable because GOD FORBID they have their own lives and own things to do and not everything has to fucking revolve around me. So I have nowhere to put all this frustration.

And that, is why the extra 5 lbs, or the unappealing limpness of my hair, does not even fucking phase me.

my face is way too round. I think it's ridiculous to have a chubby face even 4 years after losing the extra 25-30lbs and being a size 2/4 that looks like a size 6/8 , my nose is also short and wide
it looks nice from the side or 3/4 angle though
my boobs, while small, are nicely shaped and my hair is nice and thick

I also tend to cry fairly easy when I'm frustrated which I dislike very much.
Although my mother died a few months ago and I've felt very lonely (even though we weren't close), I end up crying alone because my boyfriend isn't with me/I'm not with him when I want to cry. I feel bad if I do, I don't want to put pressure on him

>>4907561
wtf i responded to this earlier but i guess 4chan didn't like my post.

and i AM a black woman with attitude you betta watch yaself boi!

it's hard to explain. i see myself as fifty pounds overweight. ya'll don't. my brain is fucked up man idek. i don't like it. i wish i could just believe everyone else when they tell me i'm fine, but that's like imagining a whole new me. as much as i try to base how i look on other people's opinions (which is bad, i know), i really can't believe them.

I'm short and pudgy. I wish I could be tall, and elegant but I'm not. Sometimes I'm insecure about what races I'm mixed with because they say those races are ugly. I'm black and Filipino, yet I look more Filipino. Filipino's are "shit-tier" asians (as said by some of my friends), but I can't help what I was born with. I'm sorry I'm not half Japanese, or half Korean. I've never hated being what I am. My previous weaboo friends always hated that I could speak Japanese even though I'm not Japanese, so that's probably what knocked my self esteem down...

Also, I hate that I cry so easily. Anything can set me off, and I'll just be bawling for ever.

>>4908355
black plus flip is like a double whammy

>>4908355
People who say things like that aren't friends. And really this whole racism and race bashing is childish and I'd be seriously disappointed if anyone says stuff like "shit tiered Asian" in real life.

I do a lot of running, so my legs are extremely bulky. I feel like I can't wear skirts because of this, as my legs make me look too manly.

>>4908398
Sadly enough people think it's funny to classify people like this, Asian, Spanish, White, Black, or otherwise. It sucks because people think they can just magically change their race..

I'm really insecure about my weight, to the point where I find it hard to believe any man could be sexually attracted to me.

On the flipside, I have great facial features and flawless teeth, and I'm fairly confident that if I lost weight I'd be at least decent looking. I'm also learning, slowly, that even if you're fat you can change people's opinions of you a lot by dressing nicer, doing your makeup, etc. It may sound like common sense but for a while I was so convinced everyone thought I was hideous that I didn't think it was worth it to try and dress well.

I get bruised so easily, that I don't want to wear skirts, because there are just too many bruises.
I hate it, and it doesn't require much to leave a mark.
Shit sucks.

I have a hearing disability. It's not that awful and I have a hearing aid so I usually manage in private conversations.

But well, then it comes to busier areas like my school and the place I work at... My hearing aid shuts itself off when the background noise is too loud. And it's especially background noise that makes it impossible for me to understand people since I can't discern sounds. I can get really uncomfortable if I begin to have trouble hearing.

My weight. I'm a little chubby. I especially hate my legs, but after 8 years of cycling over 150 kilometres a week and running about 40 kilometres a week, I've got a lot of muscle so they're really thick. Combine that with the chub and I have humongous legs. At least my arms and stomach look okay.

I also hate how disproportionate I am. I have tiny boobs, wide hips and am 5'11" tall so I look like a retarded pear. It sucks. And if I lose the chub, my boobs will be even smaller. Not to mention the bone bumps that'll be sticking out of my sides..

>>4908633 I was so convinced everyone thought I was hideous that I didn't think it was worth it to try and dress well

Worst misconception ever, glad you got over it.
I've read somewhere that looks are considered to be 60% "natural" and 40% are simply how you dress, your hair, make-up etc. FORTY percent.


Now imagine what men could look like if they actually cared about nice clothes and grooming for once

>>4908650
I had the same problem, turns out It was anemia. Go to the doctor.

>>4907046
we r the same anon i feel ur pain
just add in my list horrible, horrible lard in my legs

I'm insecure about pretty much everything in my life.

I'm afraid my friends don't really like me and only hang out with me because I have drugs.

I'm insecure about being almost 24 and a virgin.

I'm insecure about my weight.

I'm insecure about my looks, my face is really ugly.

I'm insecure about what other people think about me.

I'm insecure about the construction of my cosplays. Insecure about my otome outfits. Insecure about my cosplay skits on masquerades.

Good thing I pretend to be confident pretty well.

have the face of a man and bony 50-year-old-woman-hands

am 24. both can only get worse

Insecure about my weight - Last year, I used to be more open about doing characters that show off their body, now - not so much.
I've put on roughly ~6kg since last year, and although it's not prominent (since I don't do cosplays that show a lot of skin these days), I can see fat growing on my stomach. I absolutely would love to do more 'out there' cosplays but first, I don't know where to start with dieting - getting rid of my stomach. Absolutely insecure with this fact.
Help?

>>4908726
Oh wow, really?
Guess I better make an appointment.

I hate like.. everything about me...
I have a quite triangular shaped face, pretty thin, but high und huge cheekbones. while I don't notice it often in the mirror, it looks terrible on Pictures. My nose is big, my Lips and my eyes are small, I just start to get really bad acne (with 22!) while everyone around me seems to have great skin. I have ugly marks on my arms and legs, caused by a skin-illness I had when I was a child and they had to scrape part of my skin off. I am taller then most of my friends and I hate it, especially concerning cosplay. because I am almost always the one who has to cosplay those .. manly men, althoug I'd like me some pretty girls. But no. As long as I won't cosplay alone (what I HATE) I will never get to cosplay someone beautiful.
Not that I have the body for these. I am chubby by /cgl/ standarts, I hate my tummy and my hips.
And it's not only my body. I am very sensitive and tend to cry very often and take critisicm very personal. I get irritasted easily and won't forget fast. When I befriend someone I am very clingy, but about 90% hate that about me. So my friends will leave me after a few weeks.

Sometimes I really wonder why I live altogether...

Everything about my looks. Weight, face- everything. There is honestly not a single thing I like about my body. My personality isn't that great either, and I have few skills.

Getting older

Not really an insecurity, but a sense of urgency.

I'm the only person in my entire fucking family tree that isn't a world renowned prodigy in a scientific field.

I'm insecure about my abilities. I don't think I'm as smart as other people think I am and I'm afraid I won't achieve my goals because I'm average.

I hate my legs almost every day and my face is blah...

>>4908769

For me it's the exact opposite, nobody in my family is renowned in anything so I feel I have to carry the weight and become something. I am decent at handling stress but it can still become too much.

Just hang in there!

I'm really tall (6'9" super Swede) and have a rather prominent nose with large nostrils. People still give me shit for it..


Other than that, I'm terribly awkward in social situations. Which doesn't help the fact I haven't had a date in 18 months... Crippling lonliness.

>>4908765
This

If you complain about your oh-so-ugly body now, wait until you hit 25

>>4908776
Jesus Christ man, just pay for some surgery and be a model. Being that tall and Swedish means the big money awaits.

>>4908777

You can do something about that though, do cardio and lift weights and you will look much younger. It's you who decide what body you will have in the future.

I had extremely crooked teeth as a child. My foster mom told me not to smile in photos. Kinda messed me up, I can't smile naturally now. I'm still really self conscious about my teeth since they are a little crooked and I chipped one, so in pictures they look really uneven.

I was three months early, so my facial features didn't have a chance to finish developing, so my chin is larger than the average girls. Most of the time I love my strong chin, but other times I don't.

My middle toe is my longest toe on both my feet. I don't wear open toe shoes because of it and it's hard to find shoes that fit properly.

I'm still really self conscious over my surgery scars. It's been almost a year and they are still really prominent. I miss my old belly button.

>>4908769

My only real insecurity is, uh, my mons pubis. You know how when you gain and lose a lot of weight, you can be left with that little mound of fat and it kind of looks like you're packin'? Yeah. It's probably not as bad as I think it is..

Things I'm not insecure about, but know are objective flaws...
After the first knuckle, my little fingers are kind of small and bent.
I have a big ol' slav nose.
I have a really, REALLY soft jawline. It makes me look kind of butterface sometimes.

>>4908807
Oh, and I have finger-toes and a gap in my front teeth. I almost forgot about them, because I actually like them both. :c

there was this girl who I selpt with, we took precautions and all. Few weeks later she dumped me because she realized she was still in love with her ex (her chreating, drunk ex). I accept it and move on with my life.
1 month later she calls me and tells me she's pregnant. I was trying to figure out what the hell I was gonna do about it, thought about quitting my studies, moving to her city, telling my family and whatnot. 2 hours later she calls me again and tells me it was a joke just to see how reacted... I am 16

It might sound like a silly joke, but it left me frikin' scared of dating anyone again. And since then, I've been lurking /cgl/, all day 'erry day.
Fuck the outside world :c

I hate my smile, when I do smile I feel like it pushes my cheeks up (high cheek bones I guess?) into my eyes so they get squinty and I have such an amount of lip that it just seems awkward to me.

I also hate my eyes, they ruin every photo because it always looks like I'm not paying attention to the photographer.

I hate my body as well. I'm a size three but I feel like I'm way to big, this may be because one of my friends is a model and skinny as hell (size 0) because of her heart condition but man...I just want to be her.

>>4908830
That is absolutely terrible.
I would punch her tits.

>>4908830
>16

>or sleeping with a girl white trash enough to have an underage drunk ex
>on 4chan

Saged, reported, called the cops, salted the earth.

I'm insecure about a lot of things but it just recently started ever since I got with my boyfriend. I used to be so confident and didn't worry about how I looked because I knew I was attractive. (not trying to be conceited just honest)

but now I feel like I'm total crap. I feel like I let myself go mainly because of my boyfriend. I had to tone down the colorfulness (was big on decora) Had to cover up and change the way I dress and now I don't feel sexy at all. the only happiness I get is that I'm able to have colorful hair, though that might change because of work.

I have a crooked tooth so O never smile or try not to. I hve a odd shaped nose. I feel i have huge thighs. my arms are skinny, I'm super tall and thin, 6ft 125 pounds. and I wish I was tiny so that my bf would maybe like me more. (we are the same height so he doesn't like PDA like putting his arm around me :'(

Lastly I don't like showing skin anymore mainly because i've been dealing with anxiety and stress and have a habit of cutting myself :(

I'm terrible...

I'm insecure and my height and chest. I am into sweet lolita but I often feel like I'm too tall for it or that my chest is too big, I know some girls have it worse, and I feel for them. I continue wearing the dresses and style because I really love it and it fits my interests and reflect my personality more better than other lolita styles (though I still like other styles, just not as much). I'm 5'3" (or even 5'4") and my bust is measured at 32 inches, but it's fully rounded and not flat or small in any way, my body is more curvy than petite. I'm sorry for the other lolis out there who naturally are taller or curvier, I feel whiny about this but I just want to get it off my chest.

body hair. everywhere. it's thin and short, but since i'm pale and my hair is black, it's really visible. i get rid of it as best as possible, but it's really hard to keep up and laser hair removal doesn't sound THAT effective.

my face shape is also very weird and unsymmetrical. i have had strangers come up to me and compliment me, but i've also been made fun of excessively. i only want to cosplay things with a mask.

my body definitely has its flaws, but its really nothing for me compared to the first two insecurities

I'm insecure about other peoples' perceptions about me...? If that makes any sense to you, /cgl/.

I'm frankly quite content with myself and I can acknowledge that I've got it pretty good. It's like I know I'm facially attractive, but I think I'm fat. And I know I'm fat. But honestly? I like eating and I don't mind being overweight.
It isn't until someone else comes along, or someone that I really like, and then I get nervous that they might make judgments about the way I look or how much I weigh. Sometimes I wear facades around people just for that reason. Even if I don't assume they're judgmental I've always got the rockin', super confident, and nice egoism on because I feel that even if people judge me for my looks, then at least they might be able to respect me for my personality and intelligence. Sometimes I think it backfires on me though because I think I can come off as arrogant and fake.

I guess I get insecure about a lot of things. With regards to cosplay, I always feel like I'll never be good enough - the last time I did it I felt like I looked really fat (I'm 21, 5'8" and 169lbs) and pretty much vowed not to do any more cosplay until I lose weight.

Considering everything else, I guess I get insecure about a lot of things. My teeth aren't great since orthodontic treatment failed to align them permanently. I have large thighs for someone who has a naturally small frame due to a childhood of playing soccer, going for long walks and running around.

>>4907212
I also have this Anon's problem of looking permanently annoyed. Insomnia probably doesn't help with that but whatever.

>>4909798
just shave it, that's what I do and it's fine
and no it does not come out darker and courser
wel it does, but only when it begins to grow back(if you left it alone for a week or 2 it would be soft and light again because it has grown out), but there won't be more of it. if anything after 2 years of doing it, there's less and it comes out lighter

>>4909704
your boyfriend sounds like an insecure douchebag.

>>4909740
>5'3"
>too tall


As for me, I'm pretty much just insecure about my weight, but I'm working on that so fuck the haters.

Really. My mannerisms, the way I converse and the amount. While admittedly I'm no looker I hate how and the way I communicate much more so.

>>4909827
Well, actually, it's not thicker, it just looks that way because it's not at a fine point, but rather at a straight-across/blunt tip. It's the same as getting a haircut: it looks awful at first if it's done by a stupid bitch (my stylist is GREAT, by the way) until it grows out a bit, and you get the fine tips back.

Im insecure about my skin condition where i have really bad skin.
Im insecure about my fordyces spots on my dick.
Im insecure about having a pimply ass, which makes me only want to have sex with pants/underwear on, I know its sad.
That was kinda hard to write.

>>4909827
>>4909853
yeah, i've been shaving for years
how/why would there become less hair over time?

lack of body hair, by which i mean arms, legs and face. my arms look like i shave them there's so little hair, and the hair i do have is blonde or some shit so it's basically invisible. girls have hairier arms than me. my legs are the same.

also the hair on my head always looks like shit no matter how i get it cut, always have and i hate it, so i just shave my head and wear a hat.

thanks to my mum i also have shitty skin, i have faint freckles on my face and arms which would be huge if i didn't avoid the sun like dracula. also i don't even know if they're freckles but bigger spots like flat moles, i have a few on my face and too many on my arms, so i never go outside without covering my arms, seriously. pretty pale as a result but pale is always better.

i have beady untrustworthy eyes and my mouth looks like a constant scowl, coupled with the fact i'm very introverted people think i hate them instantly. i've been described by teachers i've never spoken to as shifty and a loner, both to my mum and not to my face. my friends have been asked multiple times by girls why i hate them when i've never spoken to them either.

i never let people take photos of me, none exist of me past the age of 12 apart from one i use for passport, provisional license etc. it's not as hard as you'd think because i avoid social stuff, but i have had to specifically opt out of photos on school trips and when photographers come into classes.

also, small dick

>>4909910
not really sure, it just seems that it does.
the only thing that happens if I don't shave it for a while is the hairs tend to "scatter" and don't all face the same direction

my personality.

My horrible skin. I have really bad chicken skin on my arms and I freak out whenever someone touches my arm or bumps into me because I'm afraid they'll think I have gross skin. ;_;

my legs. I always have to keep them covered because of how many dark veins I have.

>>4909704
your boyfriend sounds controlling and hindering. That's not okay.

If your boyfriend is the cause of these changes, and you're not happy with how you are now, I can tell you the problem is your boyfriend.

The fact that I haven't stepped outside of this building in 4 years because I'm afraid of human contact.

I don't like this.

stretch marks that i got from maturing late.. my body just decided "here, having some big thighs and an ass". i never was until i began getting into shape and started picking more revealing costumes. my friends say you can't see them very well and i'm lucky that they're "white/silver" but you can see them really well under a camera flash.. thank god for dancer's tights.. but i have no idea how to wear them with something like the pic.

also.. my wig skills. i have to ask all my cosplay friends which wig i should get before i get it. them bitches make me nervous

After losing over 75lb I've got loose skin on my arms. I hate it. It sort of... rolls over sometimes, looking like a blob attached to by biceps. I know there's still fat in there, and I'm still losing weight so it should get less, but it bothers the fuck out of me. Mostly I can ignore it, but I have to be careful for photographs, or wear longer sleeves. When I run I wear one of those arm bands for my iPod and it bubbles out the top. Ugh. I know this is a common problem for weight loss and I should wait a year before I really freak out about it not going away, but that doesn't mean it doesn't depress me sometimes. Also stretchmarks on the backs of my arms and stomach. They're not as bad and relatively white so they don't stand out but ugh. This is the price I pay for letting myself get fat in the first place.

I look so... so old! No, I look "mature," and "striking" at 24, but this ain't gonna get any better. So many gray hairs from stress, and naturally deep set eyes with dark circles... I'm glad I'm learning to moisturize now instead of scrambling later, but beyond all that, who wants to cosplay old women? Ugh.

>>4910963
I've had a ton of white hairs ever since I was 13 so I kind of know the feeling. I'm a guy though.

>>4910040
D: then go step out side real quick and come back in so you don't have to say that. And then work on those people skills.

>>4910040
I know that feel.

Up until a year ago. i hadn't left my house in over three years. not even for groceries or clothing. i had my sister/roommate get it for me.

Then i just went out. and it was horrifying for the first.... 20 or so times. and this is JUST going to the market, i didnt even have to make eye contact or talk to anyone. and it still scared me.

But it became easier and easier. i'm still progressing. I can't look anyone in the eye when i speak to them, but i can hold a short conversation without looking like i have autism or something.

Work on it in your own time anon, Just know that it gets easier.

>>4910963

I get the opposite.

At an interview today someone said that I was the guy "The manager said you were the most promising who looks like he's 12"

I am also 24. :/ Not sure how I feel about that. It's different for us guys

>>4910963
are you a red head?

cause I'm 20 and I have white hairs.... but I pull them out

Normally, I like looking young for my age because it will be an asset in the future, but sometimes I feel like I don't get taken seriously because of my baby face and because I am short as hell.

I also have really cold hands and I scare the shit out of almost everyone when I have to touch them for whatever reason. I have this irrational fear that this will cause me to be kicked out of training to be a doctor because it will be considered horrible bedside manner.

>>4911029
If it makes you feel better, I love young looking boys.
You're fucking adorable.
<3

I used to be very self conscious about my nose. Its really long, bulbous, and, well, Jewish, and I used to get teased a lot for it. Then I realized that everyone can kiss my ass and learned not to give a shit. I'm still getting a nose job though, lol.

But really /cgl/, I'm sure you guys are all really beautiful, amazing people <3 Maybe this website will cheer you guys up, it works for me! http://operationbeautiful.com/

My anxiety is my biggest insecurity. Being so shy, people always think I'm strange and awkward and never give me a chance. I'm trying to improve but, sometimes it just seems like too much

As crazy as it may sound, I am insecure about my fingers. For a good reason tho, as soon as I am A LITTLE anxious (which is all the fucking time) I will basically eat my fingers. I can come out of an exam with 2-3 bloody fingers. I don't even know how I can stop, it's fucking impossible. I do it without noticing.

>>4911082
Oh, well by "eating" I mean eating the skin on the side of my fingers. Basically both my thumbs ALWAYS hurt due to being eaten up to where it flexes. I have no idea how to stop this, I am so embarassed I always hide my hands in public.

>>4906830
Kinda late to this thread, but as a guy who likes girls with prominent noses, I implore you, don't get surgery. Aquiline noses are so hnng.

My mouth and nose...Mouth is too small in proportion to my face; have had so many problems with my teeth too, I've spent more money trying to keep them straight but teeth keep growing in.

Hands down, the worst is the freckles...

I also have a freckle on my stomach, and several on my back which makes me scared to death to expose much skin. Whenever they pop out people are like 'THOSE ARE CANCEROUS ".
Got them checked twice to make sure they were or weren't, doctor said they weren't...

Blegh.

>>4911012
>>4910986
I'm trying. It's hard.

>>4911092
>>4911082
Are you me?

When I was six I discovered that eating the inside of my mouth helped me calm down when I was upset. I would sit in the corner and literally try to bite a hole clear through my lip. When it got too painful to eat meals I switched to my fingers, then back to the mouth when it hurt too much to write.
I was a sick little shit. At eight I had a precisely measured calendar of 'bleeding' and 'heeling' days (yes, I was self-mutilating before I could spell healing)
It's disgusting and unhealthy, and I still fucking do it. I chew gum, suck on candies, and practically fellate pencils to try and 'refocus my oral fixation' and all that jazz, but whenever there isn't something in my mouth I start unconciously biting myself again.
I'm terrified of writing in public, shaking hands, french kissing, anything that might make people notice the disgusting shit I do to myself.

Meh, I'm insecure about several things but this is the biggest.

- My paleness. I'm ginger pale, so pale you can see my veins pale. I used to love tanning and stuff but after awhile I noticed that no matter how much I stayed in the sun, if I had a tan (dark enough for visible tan lines) it would only be visible a week before it was completely gone. I hate being pale and spray on tans look horrible but my mother is a full ginger and inherited everything but the red hair. Freckles, pale skin, inability to keep a tan. It makes me look EXTREMELY and awkwardly white in cosplay photos to the point that I can't stand to look at them and it's bummed me out to the point that I don't put much effort in my costumes anymore so I don't get stopped for photos as much.

>>4912169
Oh man, I bite the insides of my cheeks all the time. The skin there is so rough feeling from parts I have and haven't bitten off so it encourages me to bite more to try and even it out. When I have nothing left to bite without breaking the skin, I switch to peeling the dried skin off my lower lip which of course makes it worse. It's just an endless cycle that started up when I stopped biting my nails back in High School

>>4912186
>Pale.

Me gusta. Assuming you're a girl. Some guys dig that pale chick. I know I do.

>>4912194
Well...glad the guys like it but I really don't. I always seem to look sickly next to other cosplayers with some color to them and I used to get jokes about glowing in the dark and being a ghost. I really would like to look..I dunno...healthy?

My tits.
They're way too saggy for my age and my areolas are probably an outrageous 10x bigger than normal, they also have cysts on them that never go away.

I never want to get naked in front of a boy, in fears that he'll never find m sexually attractive ever again.

My skin is my number one insecurity.
I got acne when I was barely 12 and today at 25 it's still not entirely gone. After all those years my face has these little scars everywhere. Overall I just have shitty skin with redness on and around my nose like I just rode my bike through cold weather.
I'm just so jelly of girls with clear skin.

>>4912210
The vast majority of guys will not give a shit. Tits are tits. If a guy is going to stop liking you because of something so insignificant, then he probably isn't worth the time.
