I used to be but that's before I decided to do something about it. Even though I'm not ripped or at my healthy weight, YET. I have ever intention of being at that point and I am working daily to overcome my issues. By working out, keeping a picture in my head of my goal look I build my confidence up. Even though you can't see the person I see myself as yet I'm still that person in my own mind and will project that confidence as such. Insults about my weight roll right off of me because I'm doing something about it and that's all I can do at this point. So me doing that makes me feel amazing!

Very. I wish I wasn't, but I've always been very insecure and self conscious about my looks.
Growing up, I was the chubby, tomboy-ish girl with no feminine figure, or defining features that made me stand out... I was just "there." And being introverted doesn't exactly help either; I kind of blend in compared to other women.
So I starting working to lose weight, dress more feminine (or try to), and work on my self esteem. It's... better, but overall, am I happy with my appearance? Absolutely not. I could stand to lose more weight and tone up- not being hard on myself; just an honest look at myself in the mirror and on the scale.
Definitely, I'm not as insecure as I used to be, but the insecurity is definitely still there.
There are some days I get up and I notice the good attributes I have and I genuinely feel pretty. However there's other days where it's hard to look in the mirror I get so insecure
I think it just depends on my mental health, when I'm happy I've noticed that I look at myself in a more positive light, but when I go through a depressive episode nothing about me seems good enough. So I believe my insecurity is very linked to my mental health.
I stopped doing that at age of 21. Losing hair, gaining weight and feeling bleh. I started just taking care of my self, working out and being me, it worked out pretty good. The look is not everything, it's personality and how i behave, u know my place and where to bring the attitude out. At the moment! I am fine, looks does not matter as much

At the risk of sounding egotistical, I've actually come to like my looks. I didn't like them so much while growing up and partially because I was biracial and didn't really look like anyone else around me.
I'm no Brad Pitt and not that tall, but these days I look in the mirror and think, "Hey, not so bad!"I am dark skin.
And you'd wonder then why you have to be so insecure about it?
Well I live in india here your attractiveness is determined based on how much melanin you have in your skin.
If you have high level of melanin in your skin you're ugly and the less melanin you have more attractive you'd look as per indian standards of attractiveness.
Unfortunately I have more melanin in my skin due to that I look ugly because of indian standards of physical attractiveness.
by the way I'm 6'2 ft tall and have muscles too still I m considered ugly.
Isn't it racist?
Well! what do you think?A bit. I know I'm considered ugly, though I think I'm average. There's a part of me that realizes not everyone can be good looking/handsome. And there's a part of me that is "okay" with that. But, I don't like what I see in the mirror. And I do wish that I was better looking (or at least considered better looking) because it would make life a bit easier. I wish I had the money and time to at least fake looking good, if not somehow actually do it.
Yes I used to wear hoodies so much that it was like apart of me (anywhere I went no matter where it was I had to have a hoodie on) to cover up my big head. Then I stopped wearing hoodies and started wearing hats. Even if I step outside I have to wear a hat. My face is just 😐 any alien that you’ve seen on a movie or a tv show I’ve been called so yeah I’m insecure about the way that I look
Yup. Short, overweight, dark-skinned, ugly, small-penis... There's literally nothing about my physical appearance that's any good at all. At least I've got y personality though, but I do need to be more positive and less cranky.
I have a couple insecurities, but I can't do anything about them. Just learned to live with them.
Height, hairline and facial structure, but it's me at the end of the day. Just have to smile and continue to work on what I can control.I have my moments when I wish I looked bitter, I was really down about myself before I lost 47 pounds and still losing. I also try and not care what people think. no everyone is going to like me and that's okay
Yes a bit because I´m tall and pretty thin. I don´t have much beard but that´s ok. I have a bigger problem with the fact that I have so much that I feel I have to throw up to gain weight.
yes and i still do but rather focusing on my insecurities, im learning to love who am i and doing things to make me feel/look better without actually changing it. its a pretty hard process i could say
Yes. I am always insecure! I am used to being in front of people, have done it for decades, yet, I am always insecure about the way I look. If you find a good cure, let me know!!!
Yes I am and I will undergo plastic surgeries to be more acceptable to the handsome men. I wanted to be natural deep inside but it's not working so far. I only like very handsome guys and they like pretty girls. I have a nice body but my face is a mess and most of the handsome guys only want to fuck me and move on. I want their love and I'm ready to do whatever it takes.
No. Are you? Why do you ask?
Just be your best. Get some help if you need it. For love can't start till attraction does, and then there needs to be a conversation. So brush up on those social skills as well.Yeah kinda, I've got a bit of a gut and pretty uneven facial hair, as well as acne. Aside from all that I think I look alright tbh.
Not anymore. The less I cared about other people’s opinions on how I look, the hotter I looked every time I looked in the mirror. Idky lol.
My stage 4 scoliosis is what I’m insecure about. Better posture could be nice but it’s not happening.
Not really it's the way I look there's nothing I can do about it and no point in be insecure about it.
Yes. Very. I always worry about how I look like and try to act certain ways in public so people don't notice them as much.
Not really, but I've learned to be comfortable in my own skin. Mostly by spending a lot of time being nude, and overtime I became quite comfortable with myself.
No. I know I look terrible. I have zero insecurities about that. Know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.
A little bit. I have acne (it's mild but not severe) so I don't think I look good 100% of the time. But I still consider myself an attractive person
