Right here me out here..
Long term lacking in body confidence. Have never felt very beautiful or feminine. I've been working on my self-esteem recently and a friend who is a photographer treated me to a burlesque shoot. She said it would be a very empowering thing to do, and it was. I actually felt sexy and beautiful and powerful.
The pictures have come through and I'm so happy with them. I want to post them on my social media but am worried that it will come off as vain, desperate, attention seeking etc.
There is lots of crap on social media but then I think of some of the women I follow who post lingerie / swimwear images and I don't judge them at all. I think they are beautiful and confident. I want to do that too.
Or is it vacuous and shameful?

You could set privacy levels so only certain people see? Or if you would prefer certain people not to see?

I think in your circumstance, I wouldn't judge and would think go girl! If it was constant Instagram look at me shots then yes not appropriate.

They sound lovely pictures but personally I wouldn’t put them on social media. Why not get them framed so you can remind yourself daily of the confidence they give you.

I personally wouldn't
Imagine if you employer or future employer saw them!!!

I'd be keeping them for me
