To ask what embarrasses you about yourself?

[anahata]

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?

The thing that always embarrasses me most when I see myself on video is my odd posture and gait. It's something I don't ever notice in photographs or in the mirror, but I move so strangely, sort of camp and cack-handed at the same time, including my facial expressions. It seems worse if I'm nervous or excited.

My weight, my saggy neck from yo-yo weight, my saggy fat stretch marks-laden arms.

i can be a bit shit with eye contact if im in a new social situation and feel uncomfortable, i can try to start a story or include myself in a convo but i think other pple sense i feel like a social retard as i sometimes get spoken over and then feel even more ridiculous.
I hate that about myself !

I talk rubbish when I'm nervous . I'll be talking and thinking 'what the hell are you talking about!' And I over-share. Also I don't really have any friends or social life.

My shitty health. I'm a runt

I used to be embarrassed and self-conscious about loads of stuff, but no longer am. There's a rest phrase which I've realised over the years is absolutely true:

"You wouldn't care so much about what people thought of you if you realised just how infrequently they did....."

We're our own harshest critics and the reality is that most people you'll come across are so busy being self-conscious about their own fat belly / big ears / stupid laugh / messy house that they'll rarely even gauge yours!

My weight, wonky eye, bitten nails, plain face...where do I stop?

Actually reading the thread made me feel sad. For anyone to be embarrassed about having a mental illness or any imperfections says something bad about society. I think you're a trooper to anyone coping with poor health.

And for that reason I'm going to try not to be embarrassed by my shitty health

My fat hands. The rest of me is a bit chubby too but my fingers are really fat and ugly. My rings are man-sized. Would live to have slim, delicate fingers.

That I blush randomly when talking to people sometimes for no apparent reason.

How fat I am and how much I sweat.

My teeth, I wore braces for years, but as soon as i stopped they went back to the way they were. They make my smile look wonky, so I never smile with my mouth open.

My teeth and my weight - 12.4 at 5 ft 4 inches.

My weight, big boobs, horrible teeth, nerves that make me chatter on incessantly just so there isn't any silences but I can appreciate my good points too..I think that's the important bit

farting on the treadmill in the gym. Happens frequently, gym doesn't.

My lard and anxieties about everything. Annoyingly, I know my former bombshell figure is hiding underneath.

murasaki - maybe! Do you also have anxiety issues? I get embarrassed when I need to catch public transport because I get overly panicky and have been known to cry if I miss a train

Absolutely nothing, I am perfect in every way uncrosses fingers behind back

Ok, ok:

I used to be 5' 2" tall - as I've aged I have started to shrink and am now under 5' I hate being short. I don't believe in reincarnation but if it exists am definitely coming back as a 6 footer next time.

I have quite a few broken and missing teeth and am completely phobic about dentists. Obviously open mouth as little as possible.

Small boobs - think it's a bit late to think of having a boob job at my age.

Actually I'm not embarrassed about any of them - just dissatisfied.

This thread makes me feel sad. All this hidden shame about ourselves.

I have vitiligo on my hands and feet, it looks really unsightly ( to me ). Also hate my fat tummy. I'm fairly slim elsewhere and watch my weight but I've had complete strangers genuinely assume I'm pregnant, asking things like when's it due?

However I also have sparking blue eyes, great legs and boobs so it's not all bad! 💃😀

I'm glad I'm not alone with teeth! Avoided the dentist for 10+ years because I hate them, now I'm trying a new thing where I see the good in them, yes they are wonky and stick out, but they are clean and healthy!

Lots of stuff. Overweight, exhausted looking. Socially anxious, often say completely the wrong thing. Poor grasp of the language of the country I live in. I don't like myself much at all

Buniony hooves.

I'm embarrassed about my size, but less so since I've started losing weight.

Also by my teeth, which aren't great and have obvious fillings.

But mostly, I talk utter bollocks when I'm nervous, which is most of the time. I spend half the time talking rubbish and the other half analysing what I said and worrying about what people must think.

My scoliosis 😞
