    My nose. I had skin cancer and had to have it reconstructed using the frown lines between my eyebrows from my forehead. So there is a scar on my nose but the good side is that I have NO wrinkles on my forehead at age 57!

    The bags under my eyes. They are genetic, I think. I've tried all kinds of creams, drinking water, tea bags....they are always there. Aside from that I feel I am pretty (usually, unless I'm having a bad day! lol, toot my own horn a bit!). Eventually I will get the surgery to get rid of them, when I can save up the money.

    I have had several operations and LOTS of scars as a result from them. We aren't talking tiny either. The exploratory one from chest plate to pelvic bone is the worse. You would think that this scars would give me strength from what I have recovered from.

    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 :(

    I can Sooo relate to this.

    I'm so self conscious about my teeth. One kind of goes behind the others and tend to look in pictures like I don't have a tooth. I had braces as a child and stop wearing my retainer. I am currently wearing braces again (been a month and a half) and now I am SOOOOO self conscious about the braces. I know it will be worth it though!

    My voice I used to have a "friend" who constantly said I had a lisp and a man's voice so I'm now quite cincuous! Oh and my bad Austin powers teeth!

    I'm also very self cincuous around women as I don't wear makeup or anything girly

    Dry skin.... I have horribly dry skin.


    I am also VERY shy, which makes me pretty socially awkward.

    Aside from my body, of course, I would say my height, my freckles, my smile lines, the gray hairs that are slipping in when my roots need to be re-highlighted.

    My hearing. I know people are going to see that and think huh?!

    I am completley deaf in my right ear and partially deaf in my left. And to make matters worse I have a cyst that has developed in my left ear that is completley supressing my ear drum. Traditional hearing devices do not work for me. I have one but its not as effective as it could be. I get so nervous around people because I don't hear well and can't participate in conversations the way I would like. I read lips pretty well but then I feel like people notice and think I am crazy for looking at their mouth more often than making eye contact....Luckily I work nights and for the most part and don't have to deal with alot of people that way, the ones I do are family :) my fiancee and my sister both work for the same company. Thank God or I probably would not be able to work at all.

    My husband has 60% hearing loss. He is not interested in a hearing aid. He's also painfully shy. I don't think the two are related, since the hearing loss came later in life. I'm so used to repeating things for him and knowing that "look" he gives me when he didn't hear what someone just said.

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

    Damn family genetics!

    TELL ME ABOUT IT. :sad:

    I have had gray hair for a long time and my father started going grey at 17...I got my coarse, thick, graying hair from my dad. Thank's dad! :drinker:

    My mom is pretty much completely deaf now, she used to have some hearing in her left ear but through time it has degraded and not interested in hearing devices. I have seen her struggle with conversations, and she is very much an introvert because she doesn't want to "look stupid" if she has to ask someone to repeat what they said. When I was younger it came in handy because if I wanted to be a brat I would wait until she turned around so she couldn't hear what I was saying lol. Now though when we are out she has a look she gives me when she didn't hear someone or she cant see their lips, I can repeat it for her and then she can answer them.

    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)

    ME TOO!!

    I feel like mine shifted back completely, but everyone says they look the same. I cover my mouth when I laugh, and never show my teeth when smiling for pictures. I paid out of pocket for my own braces when I was 16...and in the past 2 years have been to 3 different orthodontists hoping they wouldn't make me pay another $4000 for braces all over again :(
