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?

Teeny bits of spit at the corner of my mouth when I talk too fast, due to an overbite.

This one chin hair.

Nervous twitch that makes it look like I'm raising my eyebrow (and either making a face at people or giving guys the come on).

Lose my temper so easily!

I'm not bad-looking IRL but I'm so horribly unphotogenic that I almost never allow photos, can't look at my wedding photos, and am dreading what I'll look like in photos with my pfb son, who is due in about two weeks. Sad.

My large red nose which makes me look like a heavy drinker (I'm not) and I get teased continuously about it.

Frizzy uncontrollable hair.

Social anxiety and chronic shyness, which caused me to either remain mute with fear or launch into a never ending babble of total nonsense.
Blushing and/or shaking when I'm with people I don't know, or in large crowded situations.
Lack of friends, due to the above.

Large pregnant-looking stomach. I'm not pregnant. Out of proportion with the rest of my body.

No self-esteem.

I have smelly feet :( it really makes me self conscious. If anyone can recommend any way of making it better, please let me know. I read somewhere that some people just have a different enzyme or something that makes their feet smell, and I think it may be true because my feet smell so much worse than DH's even when we had a shower at almost the same time :(

My teeth are a horrible grey/yellow colour. Puts me off wearing lipstick, it makes it more noticeable.

My posture. It's shit, and I've realised too late. I'm pretty sure I will be humpbacked when I'm old, like my poor Grandma.

I sweat loads under my armpits but I've made peace with that and manage it by being careful what colours I wear.

I'm really bad at standing up for myself and usually quietly simmer until someone pushes it too far then I'm so cross it seems out of proportion to the person who didn't realise they've been annoying me for ages. I'm really working on being calmly assertive and it makes me feel a lot better about myself.
