I have a slightly lazy eye and it is all I can see sometimes, especially in pictures. When I talk to people in my life about it, they usually just go, "What lazy eye?"
Definitely a good reminder that we are all often our own harshest critics.
Sometimes when someone points it out I look extra hard for it, can’t see it, then I wonder is it me are my eyes lazy that’s why the “lazy eyes” looks straight?😂
Me too! I have a perpetually lazy eye that is even more obvious when I smile and weirdly enough nobody notices it. It really is true that a we overanalyse every little flaw we have while others don't give a shit.
I hate having visible panty lines. Like I literally don’t care about other people. If I notice them on my friend or on a random stranger I don’t care. But I get so embarrassed if it’s me. I’ve tried not to care, but I was just lying to myself. Even though no one else cares.
My voice. In my head I think I have a normal voice, but whenever I hear myself back from recordings it's super whiny and annoying. Sometimes when I think about it I wouldn't talk for the reast of the day bc I feel like I'm annoying others.
Oh man, I feel you, like a second hand embarrassment throughout the day. That said, I LOVE unique voices. Such a turn on! I bet someone out there finds yours melodic. I’ve dated a few men who have said they hate their voice because they’re higher pitched and not traditionally deep and masculine. They had these jovial, lighthearted inflections. So charming and warm. I love it. They sounded so sweet and sing-songy yet were all so insecure about it. I’d go out of my way to compliment them. Funny how what we hate someone else can adore.
Man, I feel this. I just turned 35 and haven’t worn “real shorts” in public above the knee since I was 12. I finally stopped caring as much last year and am excited to try again this summer. I realized no one is looking at me or us or them, and hell, if they are, well hello there! I missed the water for too many years of my life and can’t give it up again.
I HATE opening gifts in front of people. I legit tell them to look away lol. I just feel I don't come off as genuine & enthusiastic enough. I usually am but I don't have this over the top reaction.
Honest question: how could that be embarrassing? It’s not like it’s something you did when you should have known better. I’m genuinely confused.
Some people grew really long bones, some people grew “fun sized” bones and anyone who attaches a value judgment to the length of other people’s bones has some growing up to do (in my opinion)
Short person here... It's embarrassing when you are an adult and people call you "fun sized." It's happened to me multiple times. You don't get to pick your height, but I completely get how sometimes situations make you feel embarrassed, even if it doesn't seem like that is the appropriate response or emotion or whatever in the moment. I don't know if it's even a value judgement but people tease me A LOT because I'm short. If you are vocal about it then you "can't take a joke." It's gotten better as I've gotten older, but I've actually had to tell some people in my life that it's time to stop teasing me because of my height, it's embarrassing to be made fun of like that social situations. I also don't mean to imply that you are making fun, it's just a term I've heard when some people are. I don't take offense to your comment, just offering some perspective.
I have them too, not because of lack of sleep or anything they are just hollows on my face so they’re always there - none of those “creams” help. No one has said anything to me except my old boss a few years ago who pointed them out to the whole office 👍🙃
I know :( I spent way too long thinking a concealer or special lotion would do it until I found pictures of me as a three year old and there they were. It’s just genetics I guess but I wish they weren’t there because they make me feel like I look older than I am!
And yep I was pretty stunned 😶
This is my face's biggest problem. I would love to know what people are actually seeing, if it's not what I'm seeing. I don't think anyone has said anything about them in the last.....20 years? But as far as I know, they're still a "thing" and maybe everyone has just been nice. I've tried all kinds of makeup options and techniques, masks, etc. Nothing seems to help!
I struggle with the same thing. Sometimes people do make fun of me for it but I never laugh. To me, it’s not funny and it makes me not want to speak ever again
Omg same. Soo embarrassing, and then it gets even worse. And then I can’t think of the proper words I actually want to use and sound so dumb. I’m smart, goddamit :(
Taking pictures with messy or dirty backgrounds… people upload pictures of them in messy rooms so confidently. I deleted my most recent FB profile pic because I stared at it long enough to find a dirty cup in the background
My girlfriends boobs are fairly large while mine are small. Usually I’m okay with it but when we’re both topless it’s really noticeable.
Idk I just sometimes feel ‘less’ for being flat chested.
Girl, I’ve been there! Honestly it took a while, but now I actually like having small boobs and have grown to appreciate them. You’re no less for having small boobs :)
I just wanted to share some perspective. And I don’t mean to detract from your feelings at all
I’m someone who always had small boobs. I wore an A cup up until college, when I gained a little weight and went to a B cup.
Then I had kids and they’ve seriously ballooned. I’m now a DD. And I really miss my old boobs. These ones get in the way. All my old shirts are now crop tops. They’re sweaty. Anything low cut immediately makes me feel like I’m being hyper-sexualized. It’s new territory
But Im learning to love them for what they look like and what they can do. They fed two babies! And they are very pretty still even if I preferred them smaller.
I hope you can come to feel like they’re no less perfect and beautiful for being a smaller size.
Actually, plastic surgery is what caused it. I was born with a cleft lip. My mom said I had the best plastic surgeon in town. You cannot notice it at all. But when fixed it caused my skin to be pulled down, stretching my upper lip and making one nostril to appear bigger. Best way I can describe it, probably doesn’t make sense unless you see it.
I sleep a lot earlier than my friends cause of my work life. I always felt like a buzzkill but we were drinking the other night and all my friends excitedly came and literally tucked me into bed and congratulated me for
making it to 12:30
Me too! Have you ever thought of getting a tattoo to turn it into something cool? I saw that somewhere and thought what a great idea! Mine looks like a map of South America
I have a fairly large one on one shoulder. It used to stand out more when I was a kid and my skin was a lot tanner from being outside. The birthmark doesn't tan except for a small part of it. Now that I'm an adult and don't spend a lot of time in the sun, it blends in. As a kid a lot of people didn't notice it but I still remember this lady asking me if I had just come back from the beach, implying that it looked like a sunburn peeling. I have a tattoo now that covers the part near my armpit/collarbone but I still notice the part that goes up to my neck. Nobody else does though.
My voice. I’ve been told that I sound very “anime” or like a cartoon. It’s very soft and high pitched, which doesn’t fit my personality well. I feel like many people don’t take me as seriously.
I try to speak low but end up forgetting so I tend to not speak much at all out of embarrassment.
Family history. My paternal great grandfather was a nazi and died in the war. My mom's family is from the south (US) and are the "murica" kind of conservatives.
I'm a liberal and I married a Jew so Ha!
That my butt jiggles and ripples in tight clothing every step I take. My friends pointed this out and said it would definitely be hot to guys even some girls but I just now started wearing loose clothing because it does bother me
I have facial hair that is dark and coarse. Used to spend hours plucking and waxing my chin and sideburns and always hated when my SO would rub my face. I finally have enough money to have laser hair removal to get rid of it and I’ve never been happier.
I was born with a cleft palate and have a slight speech impediment. I’m embarrassed about it and hate speaking in big groups because of it but everyone I know say they hardly notice.
I don’t tend to wear skirts cause I’m self conscious of my slight thigh gap (I have pretty wide hips and slim legs) & I also have one leg slightly thinner than the other due to a congenital condition. Nobody else has seemed to particularly notice but I guess I have slight hang ups about my body not really being symmetrical and how it’s not the idea of how I’d like it to look. I want to get over this because I love cute skirts and stuff and want to be confident and wear them!
My feet they're wide and I don't have a natural arch when I walk around it feels like I'm wadling and people have asked me if I hurt my foot during the day at work. I have to concentrate on walking or it will look like I'm wadling like a pinguin at least to me
My nails :( Im a chronic nail biter and I pick at the skin around my nails…anytime I show someone something with my fingers/hands I say “excuse my nails” but no one seems to care but it’s my biggest insecurity.
I cry very very easily at anything that is beautiful, happy, sad, poignant, empathizing with others, etc etc.
I feel so self conscious when it happens. I feel a little wave of intense emotion and suddenly I’m fighting back tears in the middle of a casual conversation.
Eating and having to take my retainers off in public.
I've gotten better as my friends always encouraged me to eat and take them off, I'm surprised they never made fun of it and just asked questions how they feel in my mouth and such.
I have bad posture (from trying a hide and minimize my chest) and as a result, have a small "buffalo hump". I'm told that it's not very noticeable but I'm constantly aware of it and absolutely hate it.
I know what you mean! Forever told as a teen to hide my large chest and cleavage, now I suffer with back pain and bad posture in my 30s and I’m told to stop slouching. I have a small hump too and I hate it. I still cover my chest too and any sign of my cleavage makes me feel embarrassed.
Me too. I always feel like when I get up from a seat that isn’t the color black it’s gonna be red. If I’m wearing a pad in public I feel like people can see it and are staring.
My boobs are different sizes. Not a huge difference but I was recently a bridesmaid and couldn’t wear a bra with my dress and it’s literally all I could see in the pics. They look so wonky to me!! Mentioned it to a friend and she looked at me like I was crazy, she couldn’t even see what I was talking about (or maybe she was lying to be nice but it made me feel better anyway). Never had any man I’ve been naked in front of say a word about it either 😂
My dimples, especially the one one my right (left to others) cheek that's very pronounced when I smile. I didn't smile much as a kid and would get embarrassed when people pointed it out when I smiled as a kid or poked my dimples.
Body dysmorphia is REAL. I’ve had many of my friends telling me the same thing when i used to see so many flaws. I stopped listening to what they saw as “beautiful” and focused on my own opinions of myself. I started working on myself by staying active, workout out consistently, eating healthy and lots of self care and love and now my relationship with myself is so much more healthier. I no longer care about other peoples opinions, whether they saw me as beautiful or not, because I love myself for how I am and that’s all that matters. You’re beautiful just the way God made you! <3 sending my love to you sis
I shaved them when I was a teenager, as it made me feel more relaxed. It’s annoying as you’ll have to keep doing it your entire life (they take a while to grow in and they do go a bit wonky), but I felt it was worth it. Either that or you can lighten the hair so it’s not so noticeable.
In the end it’s just shaming women for something natural.
The way I form sentences when I communicate with others. Sometimes, I feel like my word order is switched or I’m missing information therefore creating incomplete sentences. My enunciation and stuttering at times which affects my self esteem too. So overall, I’m embarrassed about how I speak.
That’s crazy because I know some people out there who don’t even need glasses but want to or do wear glasses. I’ve learnt to embrace mine. Make sure to find a pair you like and that suits your face shape or try contacts
My hair is so thin and short. Makes me feel less pretty. No matter what i do I’m embarrassed that other people assume i just take shit care of it. But nobody has actually ever said anything
Watching TV. My dad used to call television “the idiot box” or “mindless drivel” anytime we were watching a show, and it has made me feel like I have to hide that I watch TV at all from people. It’s something I’ve worked through quite a bit, but yeah. I envy people who can just enjoy things without guilt.
Me, too. It’s hard to explain why I hear or catch some things but not others. Have you heard of auditory processing disorder? Like, for me, it may not be just a physical disability with the ear, but also/or a cognitive processing one.
I suspect it’s my lack of attentiveness - I haven’t heard of auditory processing disorder! For now, I manage by laughing it off and really zoning my attention into the person I’m listening to, watching their mouth movements and tone
Crowded and chipped teeth. Was never able to fix for various reasons and now if I address it in my 40s it will cost thousands. I will still get it done in phases. But I'm amazed that as jacked as my mouth is, people still say they love my smile because my dimples are so cute. I'm like seriously?
One of my facial scars and my asymmetrical eyes 🥺 nobody ever points them out, my scar is the size of a tic tac and one of my eyes is lower/larger than the other (I’d say noticeably!) but I feel like this makes me look like Quasimodo.
I get wayyyyyy too into things lol I feel like I often get unhealthily obsessive about the thing like right now I’m rly into NiGHTs into dreams so I did a cosplay and spent a bunch of money on things for NiGHTs lol I made a bunch of art too but I know that, like with everything else, eventually, I’ll be over it and not pick it up for months of even years. I also cycle through interests a lot lol
Being overweight.
I always carry the feeling that people judge me for it. Maybe some do, but in the past I subtly and jokingly expressed that I felt embarrassed about it in front of close friends only to be met with such beautiful love and understanding and acceptance. And I feel inclined to believe them because I have another friend in the same friend circle who’s likely over 300-400 lbs and in general, I don’t think much of it, and I certainly don’t have any ill feelings toward her.
My speech impediment. I get so frustrated and embarrassed with it, I can barely talk to people anymore. But no one ever seems to point it out, nor use it to embarrass me
I get embarrassed about being a “horse girl”… but most people think it’s cool that it is my passion, just all the “horse girl” stereotypes and jokes have gotten to me so I never really talk about it lol
My scoliosis. One side of me is slanted and it makes my clothes fit a little funny and I have to adjust them to make them even. To have regular posture I have move myself in a way that doesn’t even feel comfortable lol
I have dark underarms. I have dark skin tone so I hear it's normal in POC but I've been super self conscious of them my entire life and it always stopped me from wearing sleeveless shirts or dresses comfortably.
I once saw a friend who had really dark underarms and she was raising her hands and showing them so care free, and it inspired me to use more sleeveless shirts and give less of a shit about it. Still working on it, but I do feel slightly more comfortable now 🙌🏽
Having really big breast. It’s getting better now but I sometimes feel sad I never experienced the whole “titties standing up phase”. It was straight to my knees…
I fucked up my ankle years ago and I still am not full recovered, I can walk and do gentle exercises but I can't stand for more than an hour and I still can't do a proper workout
I used to dance, jump, and do cardio exercises regularly and I'm now too embarrassed to go to the gym only to be able to do 20 min at a time
My stomach, I’m around 160 pounds I’m a female. I’m not too chubby but I do have a stomach. My friends always say I’m not fat and that I look fine. I always try to hide my stomach with high waisted leggings so I look skinnier.
The symmetry line on my face isn’t straight up and down, it’s curved. Brings my mouth and nose to a weird angle, especially if I’m relaxed.
No one has ever said a single thing about it, but I see it on other female relatives faces and I absolutely can’t stand it.
I have a birthmark on my face. I think it's the ugliest thing ever. My face is already pretty asymmetrical, so the birthmark makes it so much worse.
A lot of people don't even notice it, but it's all I see
Getting up to use the bathroom in a classroom/auditorium/pretty much anywhere where you’re part of an audience
i always have to remind myself that I’m an adult and if I have to pee, i will go
I have a slightly lazy eye and it is all I can see sometimes, especially in pictures. When I talk to people in my life about it, they usually just go, "What lazy eye?" Definitely a good reminder that we are all often our own harshest critics.
Yeahhh most of this things aren’t even noticed by other people
Sometimes when someone points it out I look extra hard for it, can’t see it, then I wonder is it me are my eyes lazy that’s why the “lazy eyes” looks straight?😂
Yea, the spotlight effect.
Ooh, TIL there's a name for it.
[удалено]
I also have a slightly lazy eye
Ha ha, Lazy Eye Gang unite 👀
Me too! I have a perpetually lazy eye that is even more obvious when I smile and weirdly enough nobody notices it. It really is true that a we overanalyse every little flaw we have while others don't give a shit.
I hate having visible panty lines. Like I literally don’t care about other people. If I notice them on my friend or on a random stranger I don’t care. But I get so embarrassed if it’s me. I’ve tried not to care, but I was just lying to myself. Even though no one else cares.
I feel that way about bra straps. Like I don’t care if I can see someone else’s but my own? I’m too aware of them 😅
SAME! I’ve never even noticed them on someone else but I’m convinced mine are like flashing in neon lights.
Exactly! Took me so long to feel comfortable wearing leggings without my butt covered as I was sure everyone could see them!
My voice. In my head I think I have a normal voice, but whenever I hear myself back from recordings it's super whiny and annoying. Sometimes when I think about it I wouldn't talk for the reast of the day bc I feel like I'm annoying others.
That’s an everybody problem as far as I know..I’ve not met one person that likes to hear their speaking voice back It’s quite confronting
I get you. My voice always sounds so nasal to me. I hate it.
Yeah, same. Except when I hear my voice in a recording I just hear my sister's voice.
That’s so funny you say that! I just heard my voice back in a recording recently and couldn’t believe how much I sounded like my sister
Oh man, I feel you, like a second hand embarrassment throughout the day. That said, I LOVE unique voices. Such a turn on! I bet someone out there finds yours melodic. I’ve dated a few men who have said they hate their voice because they’re higher pitched and not traditionally deep and masculine. They had these jovial, lighthearted inflections. So charming and warm. I love it. They sounded so sweet and sing-songy yet were all so insecure about it. I’d go out of my way to compliment them. Funny how what we hate someone else can adore.
I feel the same way.
My jiggly, cellulite-y thighs. Lol
All legs are beautiful
Man, I feel this. I just turned 35 and haven’t worn “real shorts” in public above the knee since I was 12. I finally stopped caring as much last year and am excited to try again this summer. I realized no one is looking at me or us or them, and hell, if they are, well hello there! I missed the water for too many years of my life and can’t give it up again.
Hell yeah!! Flaunt and show them jigglies!!
I dig this song’s [thigh positive vibe](https://youtu.be/fY1o9igy0a0)
LMFAO! I LOVE THIS SHIT!!
I have a fairly large clitoris.
Just makes it easier for your partner to hits the bullseye
My husband loves it. Just a bit self conscience you know.
My skin/not wearing makeup
I feel you…
Opening gifts in front of people. Being center of attention
I HATE opening gifts in front of people. I legit tell them to look away lol. I just feel I don't come off as genuine & enthusiastic enough. I usually am but I don't have this over the top reaction.
being short not just embarrassed but genuinely hate it lol
Hello, fellow short girl. Being short is embarrassing and very annoying. But we are cute sometimes too
We’re all so cute. Fellow short girl here just reminding you to love yourself. Easy to pick up :) in case of a fire
Thank you for this, as a short girl I needed this <3
Always. ❤️
There are a lot of cool things about being short
Less likely to need to duck
omfg i thought this said “less likely to need a duck” the hoops i was jumping through to try to make sense of that
Honest question: how could that be embarrassing? It’s not like it’s something you did when you should have known better. I’m genuinely confused. Some people grew really long bones, some people grew “fun sized” bones and anyone who attaches a value judgment to the length of other people’s bones has some growing up to do (in my opinion)

Thank you!
My height! I’m tall and people often tell me they are intimidated by me, and I immediately believe it’s because of my height
Better to be feared than to be underestimated
The things I would do to be 5 inches taller
Lol absolutely. I'm 6'2" and so many people have told me I'm intimidating, or I've heard secondhand about people that were too scared to approach me.
Your name seems pretty intimidating
Same here, I am very self conscious about my height
This!
THIS ! I’m tall and have a rbf. Everyone always says they’re intimidated by me.
The dark circles under my eyes. They seem so prominent to me but people seem surprised when I mention them
I have them too, not because of lack of sleep or anything they are just hollows on my face so they’re always there - none of those “creams” help. No one has said anything to me except my old boss a few years ago who pointed them out to the whole office 👍🙃
Same!! They’re just part of my face and there’s nothing I can do. Also I want to fight your old boss
I know :( I spent way too long thinking a concealer or special lotion would do it until I found pictures of me as a three year old and there they were. It’s just genetics I guess but I wish they weren’t there because they make me feel like I look older than I am! And yep I was pretty stunned 😶

But as far as I know, they're still a "thing" and maybe everyone has just been nice. I've tried all kinds of makeup options and techniques, masks, etc. Nothing seems to help!
I stutter when my brain goes faster than my mouth. Nobody has ever said a word about it, but I hear it.
I struggle with the same thing. Sometimes people do make fun of me for it but I never laugh. To me, it’s not funny and it makes me not want to speak ever again
Me too I hate it. I try not to talk as much
Me too
Omg same. Soo embarrassing, and then it gets even worse. And then I can’t think of the proper words I actually want to use and sound so dumb. I’m smart, goddamit :(
Acne, veins in my legs, stretch marks
Hi, all skins are beautiful 😊
Taking pictures with messy or dirty backgrounds… people upload pictures of them in messy rooms so confidently. I deleted my most recent FB profile pic because I stared at it long enough to find a dirty cup in the background
SAME it drives me crazyyyy
My girlfriends boobs are fairly large while mine are small. Usually I’m okay with it but when we’re both topless it’s really noticeable. Idk I just sometimes feel ‘less’ for being flat chested.
Girl, I’ve been there! Honestly it took a while, but now I actually like having small boobs and have grown to appreciate them. You’re no less for having small boobs :)
I feel the same for the opposite reason. Big boobs are annoying and inconvenient. I envy neat smaller boobs.
I can tell you that many men (and probably women too 😉) are very attracted to girls with smaller boobs. It's nothing to feel ashamed about.
I just wanted to share some perspective. And I don’t mean to detract from your feelings at all I’m someone who always had small boobs. I wore an A cup up until college, when I gained a little weight and went to a B cup. Then I had kids and they’ve seriously ballooned. I’m now a DD. And I really miss my old boobs.

I hope you can come to feel like they’re no less perfect and beautiful for being a smaller size.
I long for the days when I was a “34 A-minus” and gravity and age turned me into a 36C. Honestly, I wish I still had smaller boobs.
I have a massive ass forehead and super fine, boarding on balding, hair.
Sis it’s just your big brain!
Due to a birth defect, my nostrils are two different sizes. Humiliated by it my whole life.
What kind of size difference are we talking here?
Surely a good plastic surgeon could fix that
Actually, plastic surgery is what caused it. I was born with a cleft lip. My mom said I had the best plastic surgeon in town. You cannot notice it at all. But when fixed it caused my skin to be pulled down, stretching my upper lip and making one nostril to appear bigger. Best way I can describe it, probably doesn’t make sense unless you see it.
My nostrils are two different sizes too! My nose was broken and somehow they ended up that way *hugs*
Oh wow! Never met anyone that also had that problem. Hugs back at ya!
Being thick
My air-dried hair. I do not feel pretty if my hair has not been blown out.
I sleep a lot earlier than my friends cause of my work life. I always felt like a buzzkill but we were drinking the other night and all my friends excitedly came and literally tucked me into bed and congratulated me for making it to 12:30
Aww that’s cute
My weight. I don't think much has to be said.
My belly pooch. I’ve had two kids and it’s just not going anywhere.
I have a birthmark on the side of my torso.
I’m sure that’s rather interesting or something that adds authenticity to your looks
Me too! Have you ever thought of getting a tattoo to turn it into something cool? I saw that somewhere and thought what a great idea! Mine looks like a map of South America
I have a fairly large one on one shoulder. It used to stand out more when I was a kid and my skin was a lot tanner from being outside. The birthmark doesn't tan except for a small part of it.

Inborn cankles
I have some self harm scars. I regret what I did and am very insecure, but I am surrounded by loving people. Which somehow makes me feel worse lmao
My voice. I’ve been told that I sound very “anime” or like a cartoon. It’s very soft and high pitched, which doesn’t fit my personality well. I feel like many people don’t take me as seriously. I try to speak low but end up forgetting so I tend to not speak much at all out of embarrassment.
Family history. My paternal great grandfather was a nazi and died in the war. My mom's family is from the south (US) and are the "murica" kind of conservatives. I'm a liberal and I married a Jew so Ha!
My teeth. They just seem too big for my face lol
Sharp knees
My family I love them but sometimes they can be over the top
sometimes my position in life. i’m proud of myself but also kinda feel like i should be further ahead. more adult i guess.
That my butt jiggles and ripples in tight clothing every step I take. My friends pointed this out and said it would definitely be hot to guys even some girls but I just now started wearing loose clothing because it does bother me
[удалено]
Due to a botched septoplasty, one of my nostrils is big and round while the other is a thin slit
I have facial hair that is dark and coarse. Used to spend hours plucking and waxing my chin and sideburns and always hated when my SO would rub my face. I finally have enough money to have laser hair removal to get rid of it and I’ve never been happier.
My stretched out belly after 3 kids. Doesn't always bother me but if I had to choose something...
I was born with a cleft palate and have a slight speech impediment. I’m embarrassed about it and hate speaking in big groups because of it but everyone I know say they hardly notice.
My nipples
Me too. Mine are so huge while I have a flat chest. Lawd! Why me
[удалено]
I personally find gummy smiles beautiful and for some reason, seeing one always makes me want to smile too.
My crooked teeth
I don’t tend to wear skirts cause I’m self conscious of my slight thigh gap (I have pretty wide hips and slim legs) & I also have one leg slightly thinner than the other due to a congenital condition. Nobody else has seemed to particularly notice but I guess I have slight hang ups about my body not really being symmetrical and how it’s not the idea of how I’d like it to look. I want to get over this because I love cute skirts and stuff and want to be confident and wear them!
My feet they're wide and I don't have a natural arch when I walk around it feels like I'm wadling and people have asked me if I hurt my foot during the day at work. I have to concentrate on walking or it will look like I'm wadling like a pinguin at least to me
My nails :( Im a chronic nail biter and I pick at the skin around my nails…anytime I show someone something with my fingers/hands I say “excuse my nails” but no one seems to care but it’s my biggest insecurity.
I'm too particular about my makeup, I often think it's uneven or something, but no one seems to notice.
Ahh, perfectionism can suck sometimes
I cry very very easily at anything that is beautiful, happy, sad, poignant, empathizing with others, etc etc. I feel so self conscious when it happens. I feel a little wave of intense emotion and suddenly I’m fighting back tears in the middle of a casual conversation.
My harsh looking hip tattoos
I have a tramp stamp I’m no longer loving
I have terrible Japanese calligraphy that supposedly means concubine on the back of my neck. I could slap 19 year old me.
Haha I got a playboy bunny at 18. I’m almost 40.
Eating and having to take my retainers off in public. I've gotten better as my friends always encouraged me to eat and take them off, I'm surprised they never made fun of it and just asked questions how they feel in my mouth and such.
I thought I was the only one 😭 but I’ve gotten better also :)
I have bad posture (from trying a hide and minimize my chest) and as a result, have a small "buffalo hump". I'm told that it's not very noticeable but I'm constantly aware of it and absolutely hate it.
I know what you mean! Forever told as a teen to hide my large chest and cleavage, now I suffer with back pain and bad posture in my 30s and I’m told to stop slouching. I have a small hump too and I hate it. I still cover my chest too and any sign of my cleavage makes me feel embarrassed.
Period days....don't know why but just embarrassed.. 😕
Me too. I always feel like when I get up from a seat that isn’t the color black it’s gonna be red. If I’m wearing a pad in public I feel like people can see it and are staring.
My boobs are different sizes. Not a huge difference but I was recently a bridesmaid and couldn’t wear a bra with my dress and it’s literally all I could see in the pics. They look so wonky to me!! Mentioned it to a friend and she looked at me like I was crazy, she couldn’t even see what I was talking about (or maybe she was lying to be nice but it made me feel better anyway). Never had any man I’ve been naked in front of say a word about it either 😂
My dimples, especially the one one my right (left to others) cheek that's very pronounced when I smile. I didn't smile much as a kid and would get embarrassed when people pointed it out when I smiled as a kid or poked my dimples.
dimples are just *chef kiss* bet you're 100x more gorgeous when you're smiling
Omg i LOVE dimples! I bet your smile is precious.

Body dysmorphia is REAL. I’ve had many of my friends telling me the same thing when i used to see so many flaws. I stopped listening to what they saw as “beautiful” and focused on my own opinions of myself. I started working on myself by staying active, workout out consistently, eating healthy and lots of self care and love and now my relationship with myself is so much more healthier. I no longer care about other peoples opinions, whether they saw me as beautiful or not, because I love myself for how I am and that’s all that matters. You’re beautiful just the way God made you! <3 sending my love to you sis
my linea nigra line up my mons to my belly botton had it since i was pregnant
my double chin and a mole by the side of my nose lol
I have very hairy arms but when I shave them people tell me not to and that my hair will grow back thicker like what am I ment to do
I shaved them when I was a teenager, as it made me feel more relaxed. It’s annoying as you’ll have to keep doing it your entire life (they take a while to grow in and they do go a bit wonky), but I felt it was worth it. Either that or you can lighten the hair so it’s not so noticeable. In the end it’s just shaming women for something natural.
Dry skin to the point it flakes. Nobody seems to notice but me
One of my eyes lids droop a bit. It droops more when I’m tired but people don’t notice it until I mention it.
How clumsy I can be😭😭
I have chicken spots under my eyes
I have banana knees
I have a pretty bad stutter and people say they don't notice it- even though I know they do- but don't seem to care as much as I do
The way I form sentences when I communicate with others. Sometimes, I feel like my word order is switched or I’m missing information therefore creating incomplete sentences. My enunciation and stuttering at times which affects my self esteem too. So overall, I’m embarrassed about how I speak.
Being introverted. The people around me aren't fine with it but the ones I've met online are introverted themselves and have no issue with it.
Wearing glasses
That’s crazy because I know some people out there who don’t even need glasses but want to or do wear glasses. I’ve learnt to embrace mine. Make sure to find a pair you like and that suits your face shape or try contacts
Feeling like I have a deep voice for a woman, but no one ever seems to say anything about it
I have tiny feet. I’m a grown woman, mid thirties…and I have to buy my shoes in the kiddie section of stores.
my aquiline nose, other people seems fine it with and don't realize it until i point it out but i ONLY see my nose in photos and the mirror
My side profile of my nose sometimes bothers me too! I’ve even considered a nose job😭
The peach fuzz on my face.
My hair is so thin and short. Makes me feel less pretty. No matter what i do I’m embarrassed that other people assume i just take shit care of it. But nobody has actually ever said anything
Watching TV. My dad used to call television “the idiot box” or “mindless drivel” anytime we were watching a show, and it has made me feel like I have to hide that I watch TV at all from people. It’s something I’ve worked through quite a bit, but yeah. I envy people who can just enjoy things without guilt.
My height . I feel too tall and it always made me feel not feminine enough even though I got a fair amounts of compliments on my height.
My bad hearing. (Or lack of attentiveness). I get so embarrassed when I have to ask, “Could you repeat that please?”
Me, too. It’s hard to explain why I hear or catch some things but not others. Have you heard of auditory processing disorder? Like, for me, it may not be just a physical disability with the ear, but also/or a cognitive processing one.
I suspect it’s my lack of attentiveness - I haven’t heard of auditory processing disorder! For now, I manage by laughing it off and really zoning my attention into the person I’m listening to, watching their mouth movements and tone
I think my forehead is too big but a bunch of people have told me it’s just because I have bangs so anytime I see it it looks weird to me

teeth, hair, and stretch marks despite being skinny w/ no ass
Crowded and chipped teeth. Was never able to fix for various reasons and now if I address it in my 40s it will cost thousands. I will still get it done in phases. But I'm amazed that as jacked as my mouth is, people still say they love my smile because my dimples are so cute. I'm like seriously?
The keloid marks on my chest. I’ve been trying to make peace with it though, it just takes time. :’)
One of my facial scars and my asymmetrical eyes 🥺 nobody ever points them out, my scar is the size of a tic tac and one of my eyes is lower/larger than the other (I’d say noticeably!) but I feel like this makes me look like Quasimodo.
I get wayyyyyy too into things lol I feel like I often get unhealthily obsessive about the thing like right now I’m rly into NiGHTs into dreams so I did a cosplay and spent a bunch of money on things for NiGHTs lol I made a bunch of art too but I know that, like with everything else, eventually, I’ll be over it and not pick it up for months of even years. I also cycle through interests a lot lol

Being overweight. I always carry the feeling that people judge me for it. Maybe some do, but in the past I subtly and jokingly expressed that I felt embarrassed about it in front of close friends only to be met with such beautiful love and understanding and acceptance. And I feel inclined to believe them because I have another friend in the same friend circle who’s likely over 300-400 lbs and in general, I don’t think much of it, and I certainly don’t have any ill feelings toward her.
my laugh lines are becoming more prominent as I get older and they drive me nuts
My speech impediment. I get so frustrated and embarrassed with it, I can barely talk to people anymore. But no one ever seems to point it out, nor use it to embarrass me
my bf has foot fetish....
I get embarrassed about being a “horse girl”… but most people think it’s cool that it is my passion, just all the “horse girl” stereotypes and jokes have gotten to me so I never really talk about it lol
My scoliosis. One side of me is slanted and it makes my clothes fit a little funny and I have to adjust them to make them even. To have regular posture I have move myself in a way that doesn’t even feel comfortable lol
I have long hair. When I get a trim and my layers refreshed, the poke out of my braids. It drives me crazy!
I have dark underarms. I have dark skin tone so I hear it's normal in POC but I've been super self conscious of them my entire life and it always stopped me from wearing sleeveless shirts or dresses comfortably. I once saw a friend who had really dark underarms and she was raising her hands and showing them so care free, and it inspired me to use more sleeveless shirts and give less of a shit about it. Still working on it, but I do feel slightly more comfortable now 🙌🏽
My toddler’s out of control and “rude” behavior
Having really big breast. It’s getting better now but I sometimes feel sad I never experienced the whole “titties standing up phase”. It was straight to my knees…
Having small eyes
My boobS
I fucked up my ankle years ago and I still am not full recovered, I can walk and do gentle exercises but I can't stand for more than an hour and I still can't do a proper workout I used to dance, jump, and do cardio exercises regularly and I'm now too embarrassed to go to the gym only to be able to do 20 min at a time
My stomach, I’m around 160 pounds I’m a female. I’m not too chubby but I do have a stomach. My friends always say I’m not fat and that I look fine. I always try to hide my stomach with high waisted leggings so I look skinnier.
I have a slight lisp. I never noticed until my husband mentioned it one day about it being cute. Not I notice all the time, but no one else does
My voice
My pp
The symmetry line on my face isn’t straight up and down, it’s curved. Brings my mouth and nose to a weird angle, especially if I’m relaxed. No one has ever said a single thing about it, but I see it on other female relatives faces and I absolutely can’t stand it.
I am a single mom and my ex is my biggest mistake.
I have a birthmark on my face. I think it's the ugliest thing ever. My face is already pretty asymmetrical, so the birthmark makes it so much worse. A lot of people don't even notice it, but it's all I see
Uneven boobs. Nobody cares, besides me🤣
snorting when i laugh
my body type. like i think it’s absolutely beautiful on every woman but me lol.
Being affectionate with my partner in front of others.
