Is showing off your body bad thing?

[Anonymous]

My friends say that I need to start showing more skin when it comes to clothes, but I'm fat and not very pretty, but they insist still that I should and that I need to face my insecurities. What should I do? Is it ok to be ugly and wear revealing clothing?

How does displaying more of your skin help you face your own securities? You know, your weight is something you can actually DO something about if you don't like it. Let's say you got to a weight that was perfect for your height and body frame... would that make you less insecure? Would you suddenly think "hey, I'm pretty now because of my weight"?

There's a lot more going on based on your statement, and I'd suggest talking to an expert, not listening to your friends, about both your weight and low self-esteem. I doubt that one is strictly and the only cause of the other.

I need to work on my self esteem and take a class or something

[loveslongnails]

Obviously. That's my whole point, but it has zero to do with the "advice" your friends are giving you.

I don't think I'm going to associate with them anymore, they don't want to grow up and I do

Your freinds are morons. Confidence doesn't have to equal wearing revealing clothing. Some of the most insecure people are the ones flashing their bodies online. Some of the most confident individuals are the modestly dressed ones.

Girls these days always go on about how modernity is better and you can "wear whatever you want" yet they're still being pressured into conformity. For example, they have to wear crop tops to "fit in" because everyone else does it.

I don't want to look like a slut at work either, I agree with you.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Nor should you for acceptance. They should appreciate you and how you dress. Not pressure you to "show more skin because we do...". That's bloody idiotic.

I didn't think it was the logical thing to do, I think I'm going to find new friends as well, I've grown out of them. I've matured, haven't.

They probably don’t mean let it all hang out lol You say you are fat but there must be something you like about your body maybe you have nice legs or boobs show what looks good and you are comfortable with.

• Be yourself as your.
• Nothing wrong to be taking advice.
• Nothing wrong to be tried.
• Showing off own skin is positive.
• My girlfriend and her mum revealed maximum skin in public.
• Wearing attractive outfits to get attention from friends and family.
• I do encouraged my girlfriend wearing shorts and cropped tops.

I suggest you consider dieting because that will help you to feel better about yourself.

[Asker]

I've started on one (:

[Wise4myage]

Wear something that helps flatter your body, whatever the shape.

There is nothing wrong with showing more skin or less as long as you're comfortable
