For me it's..............................nose and ear hair. Everyday (sometimes twice) I check to see if any are getting too long and trim it right away. I even keep trimming scissors in my vehicle just in case.

What's yours?

    my teeth!!

    I had braces as a teen but I stopped wearing my retainer because it'd cause pain. My teeth sorta shifted a bit.. I always get complimented on my smile but my teeth need some fixing. (I just hate anything dentist related)

    Honestly I am more self conscious about my hair than my body....I'm obese..I know it and I don't really care if anyone says anything because I am losing it, but when you hair looks ratty? that's just a shame...

    Hmm...big *kitten* zit make me really self conscious..I don't get them a lot now but when I do..I feel like they are blinking neon signs.

    It varies day by day. I hate my teeth, but sometimes I don't care, there's nothing I can do about them anyway. Some days I love my hair, sometimes it sticks out like a scarecrow and looks awful. Sometimes (like today when I am feeling paranoid), I think I have a moustache, which logically I know I don't, and anyway, I have blonde hair and it barely shows, but I still worry about it. Some days I think it's unattractive for women to have any body hair at all. I am utterly self conscious about my stretch marks, and keep them hidden at all times.
    I have horrible finger and toe nails, they don't grow, and if they do they break immediately, and are always short and completely unfeminine.

    I think on days like today I am self conscious about anyone looking at me at all. Even though I know objectively I probably look ok. All I see is the things I don't like and can't change.

    The fact that I'm balding and my beard is 50% gray already, and I'm not even 32 yet. :sad:

    Damn family genetics!

    So I keep my head and beard clean shaven now, and I HATE shaving.

    My teeth. I had braces for 3 years then 5 years later my wisdom teeth grew in now my top front teeth are really squint and I loath them. I also cannot afford £1500-£5000 for braces again.

    My teeth, and I'm too shy/reserved sometimes...Makes me self concious when I get around a lot of people.

    Absolutely nothing. But even at my smallest, I can point out at least 10 things I hate about my body. So it's a good thing that I pretty much like everything else, other wise I'd be a sad little bug.

    Two things:

    My toenails. OK I have had my feet stepped on one to many times by horses. As a teenager I wore flip flops around horses and had a baby horse whomp my one foot. Which resulted in a real funky toe nail. I get pedicures which cover it up very nicely but when I need a pedicure it is obvious.

    My teeth. Recently I had them fixed because of having a car accident where my front teeth got knocked loose. My one upper tooth was longer than the other and had a gap. I never smiled ever because a few times I got teased about it. Now my crowns make my smile look nice. :D

    I'm self consious about making sure I think of others. My sister is such a thoughtful person and such a good listener that she sets the bar high. But I try and remind myself to think of others and to listen to my friends before I try and cut them off to tell them about myself.

    LOL...otherwise, I'm alway self concious if my boys' ears are clean! :)

    my eyes, i have this syndrome where my left eye can't cross inward, sometimes it may look like I am cross-eyed but most of the people around me like my friends and family say they do not even notice it (I've learned to turn my head and eyes so it's hard to tell).. never bothered me as a kid until some boys in middle school teased me relentlessly about it from 7th grade up until the day we graduated 8th grade.. I am soooo self-conscious about it and still scarred from being teased. caused me to go into depression (at 12, that was a fun time..... false)

    I'm shy to the point where some people actually think I'm a really big b*tch :( Trying to work on that too, easier said than done though :(
