Are you insecure about your body?

[benzoboy]

Simple question, I find it makes decent conversation.

Answer in as much detail as possible.

Me:
- Bit of a flabby belly.
- Fat thighs.
- Greasy hair, even after like, half a day.

Otherwise, not bad myself.

 

[TB]

Am I insecure? Only at the pool.

I could use some work, as could most, I'm sure. Nothing serious or requiring surgery!

 

[Patrik]

I consider my body to be pretty normal. Around 80kg and 180cm tall. A little bit of flabby belly for me as well though. I used to be pretty well trained so I guess that's why It's not as bad as it should after all the beer and bad food.

 

[G.T]

I think everyone's insecure in one way or another, even if they don't openly admit it.

After seeing a few friends and talking to them about "working out" recently I've noticed I'm pretty very thin and my upper body isn't as well built as it should be.

But other than that, not really. My metabolism makes it very hard for me to gain weight anyway, so I accept it.

Being insecure about your body is exaggerated while you're growing up, by the way.

 

[Gil]

I could stand to lose 50-75 lb.
But I'm comfortable with the "skin I'm in".

 

[Roo]

No. I wouldn't have such ridiculous sideburns if I cared what I look like.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

I'm female. It comes with the territory.

 

[bergauk]

I'm with Gil on this. I'm 6ft and weigh 240 pounds. I used to weigh as little as 180 and that was optimum for me. But I'm only insecure without a shirt on. I do tend to venture outside in my front yard or back without it on, but thats because I know everybody on my street and theres no hot girls that I know. Overall though, I feel pretty healthy and I ride my bike everywhere I go, and I get compliments for the speed I ride at. So yeah, pretty comfy but could stand to lose a bit. Maybe down to 200.

 

[wrcsti]

I'm 17, weigh 125lb, 5'10". One skinny MFer. Basically only thing wrong would be my arms (nothing there) but I do have a natural 6 pack which I have no idea were it comes from and decently strong legs, the closest thing to me working out is changing the channel on the TV and getting up to get another burger.

Give it time. That'll change.

 

[TheBook]

Nope. I couple probably lose about 30 lbs. (5"10', 200 lbs.), but I don't have a problem with what I look like now.

 

[wrcsti]

My dad is the same way and has been since he was 15. Hopefully since I am like a clone of him it wont.
And by clone I mean it. If it wasn't for a bit of a tan on him you would confuse his 12th grade pictures from mine.

Don't forget about all the posters, images, commercials and all the muscular actors on TV. We spend so much time watching TV that most seem to think that muscular, lean bodies are natural... We don't even need all them muscles to survive, hence why we don't get born with 50 kilos of pecs... I'm happy with myself, the only thing that bothers me is the heavy rash, acne?, I have on my shoulders and back Other than that, nothing to complain about 👍

 

[Moglet]

I hate mine. I'm underweight (8 1/2 stone, 5' 10"), have really pale skin and have lots of moles. I'm so skinny that I refuse to wear anything but jeans and even at the beach I never wear anything but jeans and a t-shirt, I could never show my chest since you can see my ribs...

I'm trying to build up at least some muscle mass by working out every day but I'm going to have to change my diet drastically to put a decent amount of weight on. Then during the summer I'm going to have to catch as much sun as possible, hopefully by going on holiday somewhere nice for once!

I'm slightly overweight, wanna have some of mine? Now that would be easy

 

[Northstar]

Other than a giant nose and a disfigured mouth(I was born with a cleft pallet) I'm fine with my body.

 

[Max Powers]

I like how I look. I think I look good, that´s all that really matters to me.

I´m pretty comfortable at the beach, etc. I´d be happy to have more muscle on the arms, but everywhere else is good muscle wise.

 

[Sage]

I used to be mildly annoyed (not necessarily insecure though) about how skinny I was, but then I got a very bad breakout of eczema, and now I look like I’m very sick (aside from the obvious rashes all over, the skin around my eyes has darkened and wrinkled considerably), and in fact some of my coworkers have asked me about such.

I would gladly lose or gain 40 pounds if it meant getting rid of this eczema… Be happy with what you’ve got, folks.

 

[NickysLuckies]

Insecure... I guess so. I have greasy hair even after a shower, a big nose, one eyebrow (getting sick of epilation), hairy from everywhere... men are not men without a bit of hair ha ha.
Actually, all this insecurity comes from the fact that I never had a girlfriend. I tryed, believe me, but I always got "no" as answer. Confidence is here, humor aswell. If it's not the problem... it might be the way I look that makes those girls run away... however.

 

[Keef]

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.

 

[NocturnalPS]

Other then having a long torso short legs long arms small head and a big neck. I do not think I am insecure.

 

[peeweegary]

I need to friggen gain mroe weight and muscle...At the moment i way 105 pounds at 5' 5..

Hate swimming with friends =/

 

[Rykon Zero]

I am 5'6-5'7, and weigh 125-130 Lbs. I'm 13, and I'll basically end up being about 6 feet tall. I have a bit of fat around my midsection, which i wouldn't mind losing, and I know for a fact that under this fat is a fairly muscular frame. I think I will lose some weight just to see what I look like, but I doubt it will be very difficult. So, in short, a little.

 

[YSSMAN]

Lets see, about 6'1" and 150(ish) lbs, I think the only complaint about my outward appearance is that I need to work on my muscle tone and I need to change my hair. Otherwise, I'm rarely if ever worried about how others see me.

 

[Barracuda]

I would say I'm kinda insecure. Both sides of my family are big so I'm currently 5' 9" 215lbs at 17. I tried working out and I was faithful for quite a while, but now that I moved I don't feel comfortable running around here, and there's no room in my room for my bench press. People said it looked like I lost some weight, but I definately don't feel like it. I basically have the body to be a really muscular person, but my metabolism is terribly slow, and I can't be bothered to do sports or anything that would really help me. Even when I was really athletic and literally ran a mile a day (quite a lot for my stamina) I still had a gut I couldn't get rid of, looks like I'll never lose it, whatever.

 

[Perfect Balance]

I'm a bit overweight. 6ft and 215lb, so I'd like to lose some of that, but I don't care enough about it to actually do something about it.

So in a way, yes, I am insecure, but not enough that I change my ways of going about doing things.

 

[orimarc]

Insecure? I'm sure that I'm fat. I have a pair of those things called "eye", so I can see my body.

 

[Moglet]

Oh, forgot to mention that along with my pale skin I have really dark bags under my eyes for no apparent reason. I was told recently I'm very much like Stephen Merchant;

But to me that's awesome because he's a legend!

 

[Lucas]

I'm 5' 8'' and weight 114,6lb, you just can't imagine how skinny I am. If you look closely at my arms, you can't see flesh, only skin and bones I would do anything (anything ) just to gain 60lb Being this tall and weighting this little, it just makes me depressed to go out with a T-Shirt. Even in spring I go to college in long sleeved shirts. I wish I had some muscle...

 

[Omnis]

I like my body but I have weight to lose. Not sure I would go around shirtless, but who does that anyway? I'll show everyone pics of the panza once it's gone.
