Are you insecure about your body?

it ages your skin (I don't want to look like a wrinkly pair of balls by the time I turn 65) and obviously represents increased exposure to harmful UV radiation and thus increases the likelihood of contracting UV-related cancers such as melanoma. Hmm...

That’s tomorrow GT Pro’s problem. ;)
 
A mild tan won't kill you, this coming from a guy who's Mother has serious skin cancer problems. Just make sure that you're using some protection and avoiding the burns, otherwise, a little sun is actually very good for you.

RE: Moles

I get made fun of for it. It comes from both sides of my family, but between my siblings, I've got it the worst. I think I'm the 102nd Dalmatian.
 
The only thing I don't like about my body is the amount of hair growth all around.
It's the main reason why I don't go swimming a lot. It has been more than a year since I've gone swimming, and that was in my back yard.

Building a bit of muscle isn't a problem, as long as I'm not too lazy to go to the jim.

So what does jim actually work out? :O:scared:
 
It looks like your nipples are causing it not your teeth.. Just saying.

Also recently I've gotten a massive egoboost and have started to feel more confident. Girls telling me I'm cute is awesome.
 
LMAO only guys who have been teased alot are insecure about their body.

Welcome aboard Captain Obvious. :rolleyes:

We all want to be as white as you.


That photo reminds me much of what happened one night at a local farewell party. It was quite dark, yet somehow, when a friend of mine took a photo of me it came out completely white.

Nonetheless, the one advantage of being uber-white is that you 'light up people's day', or so I am told when my peers kneel down and praise me for the sunlight I've apparently brought to the schoolyard.
 
Sureshot: if your overshot jaw bothers you, then speak to your GP about getting it sorted. It'll be a fair wait, but the NHS will fix it for you. A girl who used to do my hair had the same problem and she did just that. Her appearance has changed markedly and for the better, plus she finds eating much easier as previously she'd had issues. The recovery and healing time for her were worth it :)
 
Nope, not really. I was raised around girls and get along better with them. I guess I pick up on their way of talking or something.

Do you know what length the healing times they were? I know it can be a long wait (PS3 time hello!) for it to recover. It's something I've discussed with my Dentist before and I did have an appointment about 6-7 years back with a surgeon bloke. Who is best to talk to, dentist or GP? I did have one dentist who tried to get me to fix it by giving me lollipop sticks and trying to push my front teeth out...

It can be painful at times, especially with things like steak.
 
I've been told that anything to do with the jaw should be done with your dentist. But I guess the worst your GP would do is refer you to your dentist or a specialist at the hospital.
 
I got used to my braces after a while, but I still didn't show my teeth when I smiled much. I never did that because I didn't like showing my teeth before I got my braces in high school. In the past couple years or so I've gotten more of a "screw it" attitude when it comes to being insecure, so not much bothers me. I am what I am. One of the main reasons is that I realized most people can tell if you're trying to hide something, and that usually gives them a negative view on your self esteem and whatnot. I just be myself and be happy, but I still get insecure sometimes, as does everyone. No big deal. I was happy when I got my braces off last week, but now I've got to get used to retainers for a month and a half. I'm not even bothered by the way I talk with them in, which is kinda funny. It's not a big deal. Everyone understands because most of them have had to go through it before. Besides, girls aren't attracted to guys who aren't comfortable with themselves. I've had to lecture my ex so many times about her self esteem issues. Like, Sarah, I'm the scrawny one with the acne and braces--and nobody minds. It's not a big deal. The more you worry about yourself the more other people are going to worry about you. Screw it! Everybody has a problem, and it's not a big deal.

I tried to illustrate that to her by pointing out new zits on her face whenever I saw her. After a while she seemed to laugh it off, but then when she got a new boyfriend she was so obsessed with impressing him that she'd just get mad at me. She's hopeless. It's pathetic how people without flaw think they're so screwed up. Poor, poor emotionally challenged people.

Im the same way about my braces. My teeth were really bad before hand and now that my braces are almost off, and my teeth are straight, I still catch myself hiding my smile. I hope at some point i grow out of it. Other than that though, Im not overly selfconscious. 5 foot 7 130 pounds. Decently toned from pushing carts at work for so long haha. But i am a lot more self conscious than my peers.
 
It took me over 40 yrs to destroy it, now I'm trying to undo it all and it sucks. I used to be able to drop weight so easily now I can't drop hardly any.

All I can say is don't let yourself go thinking you'll always be able to undo it later because it is damn hard.
 
I'm so insecure about my body I just went and bought Men's Health.


Actually, it's because I've cancelled my evo subscription. Now I'm actually driving it's abit of a nut-cracker to reading about driving £50K+ cars and guys who think their 335i is too slow and need an upgrade.
 
i used to be...along with the rest of the school kids, but then i realised that i should just look after myself and how i want to look, good and healthy. plus with all the lip i got just for my hair colour i noticed i wasnt the insecure one
 
I don't care about my body as such, I've never been into sports and I eat and drink what I want, but I don't go out of my way to load it with rubbish. I don't exercise If I've got man boobs or a big ass it doesn't keep me awake at night but they do draw some strange looks from other people :lol:
 
Also recently I've gotten a massive egoboost and have started to feel more confident. Girls telling me I'm cute is awesome.

Does said girl have a crush on you or are they quite unattractive? I had a girl who was both telling me I was hot all the time. It almost made me feel worse about my body. Especially since she was attracted to guys who are really tall, freakishly skinny and very white.
 
NOPE, but I wish I had a little more muscle mass on me. You guys should check this out: look at my left pinky finger compared to my right pinky. Tell me if something seems strange.


 
That's the most awesome thing in history. No doubt.

I'm so jealous.
