Besides your body, what els are you self concious about?

My teeth. My employer doesn't offer insurance. It'd be in the thousands to fix them all. Maybe someday I can afford it. It's hard and sometimes I just want to sit and cry. But my family and friends love me. And so does my wonderful boyfriend. So I am lucky that way.0

My acne :-(
Oh gosh this SO used to be me! Like I'd have clear skin for the most part then get nailed with cystic acne. It was horrible! I'd literally take a week off work and just hide in my house.
I still used to get them from time to time to the point I said SCREW THIS! I signed up for ProActiv Solution. It's not that badly priced and I figured if it gives me clear skin and my confidence back, then it's SO worth it!
I love this stuff! Seriously, my skin has cleared up so much it's unreal. Especially during that time of the month! If I do get any type of zit, I use the 'refining mask' to spot treat and it's gone in a day or two.
They always have promotions going on for a free kit. Or a cheap kit. Just a thought....I can't say enough how much better I feel about myself now since having no massive acne problems. I know to some people it may seem dumb, but for me, it meant everything.
I'm happy you said this because I just ordered the basic kit yesterday. I tried it when I was younger, and It didn't do much, but my skin has improved since then.0 -
My smile; I have one tooth that, even with braces for almost 2 years, it never fully came down so I have to always turn my head to the left slightly when I smile for pictures. I find my ears too big and my feet are WAY too big (size 10 1/2W or 11) I don't like my voice either.0

i guess i would say my face and teeth.
never had money to get braces like everyone else
and i feel like a teenager when i break out during stress or TOM lol i'm 21 when does acne go away?0 -

aaahh yes and my feet and nails and hair ..i get my nails done faithfully at a salon and every month i get a pedicure .. my greys get colored every month too .. i hate grey hair on myself and do not want anyone looking at my feet unless they are pedicured0 -
my brain...I'm obsessed with being smart. ;~)0

Teeth, nose, ears....and pretty much my big, round face.0

Let just say that I have to deal with my PCOS side effects.
I know exactly what you are talking about, and I concur!0 -
The way I walk due to my foot surgery. It will never improve & I just have to learn to live with it.0

My nose and my skin if I'm going through a breakout. -.-0

I have a massive hugh scar on my stomach, when I born I needed surgery I won't gross anyone out with the details. It was always gross and I was always self conscience of it as I have no belly button, but since I put on weight it looks even worst cause my fat is not spread out even. Theres some on top some on bottom and I got a weird lump bit to the left. So when I wear clothes, I'm always looking to see if you can see it. I wish my parents had it fixed when I was young but they didn't think it was necessary as the doctor told them when I grew the scar would be less noticeable. When I loss weight I am seriously thinking about having it fixed.
I am also a little dyslexic, so I am always worried about things I write. And my job requires doing a lot of "reports" and summaries and writing requests to go to other offices. So I feel it takes me 3 times as long as anyone else to write something and then read and re-read, edit and spell check. Like when I was writing my first post I tried to write self conscience and it took me to many tries to get it where spell check could figure out what I was trying for so I gave up and replaced it with leery, but I didn't like it so I had to go back and try it again. LOL.0 -
My skin, all over (lots of blemishes and scars and stretch marks). My hair (very hard to manage and maintain no matter the cut or style). My height at times (5' 10"). The clothes & shoes I wear (definitely not a fashionista here, I have no idea what looks good on me or what things go together).0

I guess starting today I am self-conscious about the way I dress!!
I used to have an office job, which I dressed appropriately for, but I've never been a fashionista. I'm now back in school, about to graduate, and my teacher indirectly told me that I need to make an effort to look nice during my job interviews.
No *kitten*, Sherlock!? I wear jogging pants to class because I RUN between classes, I wasn't planning on wearing my flannel shirt and ponytail to an INTERVIEW. Frustrating, since some of my classmates wear hot pink sweatpants and DON'T work out.0 -

Hate my nose! If I had the $ I'd get it fixed. Makes my profile horrible.0

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.
little secret -- that salt and pepper hair is sexy!
I completely agree. My husband is 31 and starting to get a few greys and it's very sexy.0 -
My teeth for sure. Had braces for 3 years, then they tell me to get my wisdom teeth out after. Yeah like a broke *kitten* college student like me has 2 thousand dollars to just throw out for that. Now they look just as bad as they started out as. Oh well, I'll fix them when I graduate.0

For the acne sufferers, Accutane was amazing. Dry skin, eyes, and joints for 6 months but it basically cured my acne.0

Everyone on here is stunning. You are all so brave to admitt your concerns. But judging by some of your profile pics, your all just beautiful no matter how Nitty Gritty you get
I have issues with scars on the shoulders, back, wrists, and legs. Some from Acne, some from operations, some from everyday nonsence. But I get quite self concious about them. Especially when at the beach or something.0 -
I like the whites of my eyes to be perfectly white.0

If you have acne, eliminate all dairy from your diet!0

AGREED...it's called an anti-inflammatory diet. or find natural herbs or sups that combat inflammation.0 -
Everything. I over think a lot.0

I was the youngest of 8 kids, so needless to say, I got left out of a lot of stuff, and when everyone was joking around and I finally put my two cents in, the reaction was always "oh, you're still on that. beating a dead horse, etc.".
My one sister used to joke about how the other kids found me in a ditch and mom let them keep me. I knew she was joking.
Between that and a horrible misunderstanding between a friend and another girl in school, I was bullied for two years,
and now, having moved quite a few times, I'm really self-conscious about making new friends, and wondering, "Do they actually enjoy hanging out with me or are they just trying to be nice?"
A friend of mine knew I was having a really bad day with the kids today, and she got on the phone with a couple of gals and planned a girls night out on Saturday, to cheer me up. I'm actually starting to believe that this move was a good thing, and that I am actually making friends that will last for years to come.0 -
