What are your biggest physical insecurities?

I'm over 50 and my only bodily concern is that time moves quickly (especially the older you get) and someday my body will give out on me and no longer exist.

I do enjoy watching younger people luxuriously pondering how their thighs, gut or butt measure on the attractiveness scale and remembering my own preoccupation with that.

This made me lol.
Because it's such truth! But, it only makes sense that our insecurities change with age.

I used to be wildly afraid of looking or sounding stupid. I embrace that *kitten* now!

Physically though, my stomach and thighs. I think I'm supa beautiful, if not a bit a obnoxious and demanding, personality wise but legit I'm usually rather fun to be around.

I hate when I'm running on the treadmill and my tank wants to ride up to my waist cuz it's the smallest part on me. And my upper lip isn't symmetric though I doubt anyone but I notice. Also, my neck is straight instead of curved and the condition causes my posture or my posture caused the condition. I slouch supa much and if anyone sees me standing straight it's because I'm trying to stay really conscious of it. Standing straight give me a headache too. So there's a lump on my upper back, lower neck that's noticeable to me! Though no one had pointed it out except this one time in 4th grade.

I used to hate my feet, people referred to them as Flintstone feet. My mom was kind and told me they were perfect for swimming and not for looks. They just look like feet to me now but when I was a young girl I HATED them.

I think that's it. Most of my flaws I always loved like, the bazillion moles and freckles on my body. I loved finding a new one and still do. I have a gap between my front teeth, always loved it.

When I'm stressed I slur my words, it makes me feel humble and realize no one is perfect.

Embrace your insecurities I guess is my final message!

Oh yeah I have club thumbs too. Love my little thumbs!

When I was younger I was insecure about all kinds of stuff. Now I look back at my pics from then and cant understand why.

As a kid, I was teased a lot for being short but I embrace my lack of height now.

Also, I used to be insecure about all of my curves because the skinny look was in, but I embrace them now too.

You all are delightful!!!! Hugs for the question and interesting/humorous answers...I agree we should celebrate our differences but we wouldn't be human if we didn't have some insecurities....I mean I would hope so...shoot if there are some perfects out there is be suspect people...they may just pull a
.

On us!!!!😮😏 could happen🤷

Ok mine are....maybe I should say what aren't my insecurities it's a shorter list...speaking of shorter...

1. My height...5'1.5" ...yes the .5 matters to me!😏 it's cute when you're in jr. High....sort of but it's more hindrance and I do love heels (surprise surprise I know🙄) but try hiding 10 lbs at this height people😖

2. Birthmark on my left leg(calf) that I think everyone I met had asked me if I had spilled wine in myself....it's funny never😒 I had to buy special rights when I was dancing on stage in the ballet in my teen years because the house lights were too bright and it really did look like wine spill.

3. More then than now but still...I've always been curvy.....nice? No! When you develop early 11, and want to be a prima ballerina it's not the best thing....had an aunt by marriage call me the chubby ballerina at 9....9!!!!!😠needless to say years of trying to make myself into a skinny ballerina and years of eating disorders yes good times.....so now that it's behind me I try to embrace my curvy lil stature but it ain't easy let me tell you....and holding it in only causes more stress, meaning cortisol meaning harder to loose.....yes insecurities...I gotz em🙋🤷

but I'm learning to live them...and one good thing about aging and for me being a mom...it teaches you...pfft.....no one is perfect and even if they are its so over rated....differences make the world a better...more beautiful place.....and thats that😋

Hugs beautiful peeps!😘

My Lips are too damn big.

This thread can get real dangerous real fast for me, so I'll just say that I have plenty of insecurities but I've worked really hard to embrace the things I actually love about myself. It's probably not healthy to make a laundry list of the negatives.
