I'm trampy

Basically I'm a state. I'm over weight and frumpy. Most of my teeth are missing. My hair is long and frizzy. I have not cut it in 5 years. Its a very odd colour with a mix of white I just tie it back. I have a friend who means well. Her: why don't you dye your hair ? Me: no. Her: go on I can do it. Me: no I don't want to. Her: oh go on.... I know it needs doing i know she means well but it makes me feel all churned up. I do have things set in place like the dentist. But I want to do it in my own way .

I know how you feel and I’m sorry your friend was so tactless.

I recently got veneers and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done, really boosted my confidence! Like you I hadn’t had a hair cut in 5 years, but have been motivated to get it done regular now. I am pregnant, but am watching my weight to ensure I don’t put even more weight on.

I found making that one change has motivated me to sort out the rest.

I hope you find something that works and makes you happy.

Thank you yes that's how I feel. I think once I sort my teeth I will start to feel better and then I will want to do more. She means well she has no idea how I feel about myself so I know she's trying to be kind. When I'm in a better place I will probably be happy for her to help me.

Although it comes from a nice place, it can still sting. 😕

I had real bad teeth, so I know how much it can get you down.

You sound like a lovely person and looks aren’t everything. I’m sure things will look up in the future for you.

Do things slowly and at your own pace OP
You've already made a start with the dentist, once you've sorted your teeth out, it will probably give you the confidence and boost to try something else, such as your hair.
Don't let someone pressure you, just do it your way.

And you're not trampy. You've just lost your way a bit that's all.

Its going to take a while its going to cost hell of alot to sort My teeth out. Its taken me a very long time to save but I have the money to sort my bottom teeth now. Although it's taking along time I'm telling myself that it means I'm committed in sorting it. Plus if I had the money just to through at it I think it might have messed me up more mentally.
