Mine is that I badly bite my nails, but are too ashamed and embarrassed to show then to anyone such as a hypnotherapist to ask for help.

Anyone else?

That I'm terminally single. I hate it when people ask how long I've been single, don't I want to meet someone etc etc. It makes me feel like there's something wrong with me.

My lack of self motivation, my inability to make a decision and stick with it, the way I let myself get walked all over but don't do anything about it.. The list is endless Sad

CoconutAndVanilla · 03/09/2016 13:55

My OCD - I'm constantly checking to see if things are clean.

TheGhostOfBarryFairbrother · 03/09/2016 13:56

My weight, my mental health problems, my horrible dry and eczema covered feet...

Bellyrub1980 · 03/09/2016 13:56

I've got size 9/10 feet!! Beat that!!

Fadingmemory · 03/09/2016 13:57

Large nose. Am sometimes rather manic and OTT

Galdos · 03/09/2016 14:02

It used to be 'being me'; I've mostly got over that now, but my poor memory causes some embarrassment, especially with the kids. Fortunately, ironically, since I can't remember stuff I don't get too depressed about it ... until someone reminds me ('where were you?' etc)

My stomach (bowels?!) I don't know if it's IBS or what but it growls and makes horrible loud noises whether I am hungry or not. I did pluck up the courage to go to the GP once but he laughed and just told to me buy Fybogel. It happens all the time but is really embarrassing in quiet places and meetings. No one else seems to suffer from it-it's embarrassing and pretty isolating Blush.

tibbawyrots · 03/09/2016 14:04

My teeth. I suffer with Bruxism (teeth grinding) and my front two teeth are really badly ground down so there's a definite gap. I could drink with a straw through the gap. :(

I never smile with my mouth open for this reason.

murasaki · 03/09/2016 14:05

My eczema. It mostly manifests on my face which is the worst place it could. And I scratch in my sleep, so can wake up with cuts. I walk with my head down n the street and try to be as invisible as possible. Dp is lovely about it, but I'm sure he must be embarrassed to be seen with me sometimes.

TwatbadgingCuntfuckery · 03/09/2016 14:05

That I have IBS and as DC puts it my 'Bum falls out' Blush Can't help it. Been like this for 10+ years but I'm so in tune with it I know when an attack will happen just by a few changes (severe thirst is one) and can hide away for a day or two.

KurriKurri · 03/09/2016 14:06

I'm a bit fat - but I'm not too bothered by that (because if anyone thinks less of me for it, i don;t want to know them anyway)

I tend to overshare - I;m a bit overly friendly too quickly with folk.

Terrible teeth, enormous nose, loud over-enthusiasm that you can hear two streets away, a chronic dislike of housework and a lot of cats!

Oysterbabe · 03/09/2016 14:08

Another one for weight. I'm 2 stone heavier than before I was pregnant and really struggling to lose it. DD is 8 months and I'll have to return to work soon. I know my colleagues will be thinking what a fat mess I've turned into since having a child Sad

Darcychu · 03/09/2016 14:08

Yepp my weight. i eat fine but im addicted to Sugary drinks such as energy drink ( my big downfall) i used to game all night so i would stay up and drink around 2-3 big bottles a night every night.

not even having 2 horses and working out every day in the past kept the weight from piling on, i am now 5ft 3 and 14 stone. my partner loves my curves but everytime i see a picture of me i almost cry, i have tryed to cut the drinks and exercise more but i always break when i look in the mirror. but i know soon i will find that willpower to stop and too really kick it especially because were TTC now :)

CMOTDibbler · 03/09/2016 14:09

I witter when I'm nervous. And then I'm more self conscious about this, so get more nervous...

And that I don't have any proper friends. This really embarrasses me tbh

RunningLulu · 03/09/2016 14:10

I have foot in mouth disease. Need to think more before I speak. It's resulted in me losing friendships.

cosytoaster · 03/09/2016 14:10

I've got big, rough, manly hands, despite a lifetime working in offices. My ex once said that holding hands with me was like holding hands with Joe Cocker Grin. Weirdly my feet are quite small.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 03/09/2016 14:11

My messy, shabby house Sad

WeeBoobs · 03/09/2016 14:13

I'm terrified that my teeth are all rotting and that my breath is awful because I'm scared to visit the dentist so I haven't been in years. No one has ever said anything about it but I'm in constant fear everyone is disgusted by me but feel too awkward to say something to me. Doesn't help that I also smoke. Ugh, why are dentists so scary? Sad Blush

RuggerHug · 03/09/2016 14:14

My drinking and my voice. It's deep and scratchy and any phone call/recording of any sort I sound like Patty and Selma the morning after a death metal gig.Blush

murasaki · 03/09/2016 14:15

Weeboobs, are you me.

hippydippybaloney · 03/09/2016 14:16

My mental illness.

If you don't know me very, very well you wouldn't pin the symptoms immediately down as symptoms. You would just think I was a bit of a knob and it was my personality. It isn't. I can't help it, and I spend a lot of the time cringing and frustrated with myself.

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 03/09/2016 14:17

Fat.
