Body confidence

[plumcat]

As far back as I remember I've always been very insecure . I don't like to show off my figure even though, I'm quite slim and have curves in "all the right places" as they say. I hide my body with oversize jumpers etc as I don't like being viewed in a sexual way. I especially have this issue when I'm around my family. I would never wear something as simple as a vest or shorts because I just feel so uncomfortable. I have no idea why I feel this way .

Do you have any recollection of people in your family/friends making negative comments about anyone's body shape/size? What was your parents' attitude to you growing up and reaching the age where you might have a romantic life? Is there any time people have overstepped your boundaries, or a fear that they might, so clothes are a way of "hiding"?

@Quangot thanks for your reply.
I do remember my mum making comments about my big thighs or big bum. I would become defensive and she would laugh and say I was silly for being offended because "there's nothing wrong with my body" when I never said there was, but her making the comments in the first place implied it . I think it may have made me want to hide my body I suppose .
