Do large Breasts affect Self-Esteem?

in Chit-Chat
Women with small chests take for granted the fact that they can walk into a room and be noticed for the clothing that they are wearing or the hairstyle that they sport. When a man shakes their hand, he tends to look in their eyes rather that at their body.

This is not generally the case for women with large breasts.

    My self esteem only dropped when I couldn't get any beads at Mardi Gras.

    Yes, I have family members with large breasts and it's had a negative effect on their self-esteem. I feel bad for them.

    Meh I'm happy.
    My fiance is a fan of women with blonde hair and blue eyes.
    He's never looked above my chest so that's what he thinks he's marrying. Win/win.

    I have large breasts but wear appropriate attire. If a woman with large breasts is wearing a skimpy top and a bra that is 2 sizes too small, of course people are going to stare at her breasts- male or female.

    And no, my breasts don't affect my self-esteem... they are just plain annoying.

    Yes because they're heavy and they can make you slouch and then you're low and your self-esteem can only be as high as you are.

    I think it just depends on the person. At my highest weight I was rocking a DD/E cup, and now I'm around a C. And there are days that I'm in the shower or something and I'm just thinking "I remember when they used to be bigger, they looked so pretty, what do I even do with these?"

    I've had large breasts for most of my life. Currently they haven't been this small since 5th grade I think. Either way they do not affect my self-esteem.

    It both helps and hurts self esteem, and really has more to do with how the woman takes the attention, her past, and if she's ever been abused/seen as a sexual object and threatened.

    Breast sizes fluctuate with weight gain/loss, pregnancies etc. I used to think they were the only thing that I had going for me, but I didn't like them/felt uncomfortable with the attention they received.

    However, I have grown to love my breasts, and my entire body, and they are one of my many assets - right up there with my eyes, arms, legs, butt, back, shoulders. . . .hell, I think I'm awesome.

    In the past 18 months the girls have gone from a 44DDD to a nicely manageable 36C/D.

    My self-esteem has not been affected at all due to mah bewbs, but more the fact that I am smaller now. Granted, they sure don't get the attention they used to, but I'm totally ok with that, because at the same time? *I* get the attention, rather than a couple of overly-ample fleshy mounds, LOL...

    For me? Big bewbs =/= low self-esteem. Big everything else = low self-esteem. :wink:

    Ok, I'm going to answer honestly, mine didn't show up until well in to high school by which point I was already a well established nerd girl with a big mouth so I can honestly say I've never once felt objectified because of the size of my chest. Guys that were my friends weren't stupid enough to be obvious about it and the rest of the guys at school tended to run away from me anyways :laugh: (I might have had a bit of an attitude problem).

    I have however seen the effects it can have on women, especially when they start getting attention at a very young age, it's ROUGH, and yes, it can have a very negative impact on self esteem, especially if parents etc. are not providing a strong positive influence to counteract.

    My large breasts have a hugely negative affect on my self-esteem, especially since I still have D cups at my lowest weight. They're the one part of my body that I feel shouldn't be there. I really, really don't like them.

    I wore a bra that was much more than two sizes too small for years because I didn't know any better, and I know plenty of young girls and women who dress the way they do because it's the only thing they are familiar with.
