Is being clumsy a turn off?

[bekahleigh23]

I trip over everything. I fall up stairs. I have no balance. I'm not weak or wimpy. I'm athletic but I'm just not coordinated. I'm not ditzy necessarily, I'm just real clumsy. I can't help it. Is that a major turnoff?

No, it's not a turn off. Not at your age. Your klutziness should have more to do with the fact your body is changing a few steps ahead of your mind. A lot of teens make clumsy mistakes and trip over things because their body and mind are constantly changing(dealing with growth spurts, etc). Some people cope with this better than others. Don't get discouraged and assume your are a klutz, you will learn that 99% of these mistakes are mental and can be fixed with self confidence and focus.

my body isn't really changing at all. I'm not gonna grow anymore at all. but it isn't just the normal amount of triping over things every once in a while. ill just be standing there and ill lose my balance and fall over.

That doesn't change the fact that applying yourself mentally and relaxing a bit can fix the problem. Being vain and lacking self confidence is a turn off though.

i have self confidence lol. not like insane amounds to where I'm obnoxious. but I have self confidence.

You still believe you are clumsy, that's not very confident. It's all about mind over matter, Like I've repeatedly eluded to. The more you think about your clumsiness the more it prevails. The more excuses you make for yourself the weaker you become.

When people say "just have fun", they are usually consoling a person or team that is trying too hard and over thinking simple tasks. Just live your life and don't call yourself clumsy. Remember, mind over matter.

So What if you're clumsy? A lot of guys are clumsy too. I don't think it matters if you're clumsy or not, especially if you take it in stride and make jokes about it, guys would probably dig that.

I am like that too and I know at least two guys who always found it cute. One of them always laughs at me when he pulls me in for a kiss I almost or do topple over and then I'm like "don't do that you know I'll fall" and he laughs and we kiss some more. Also I don't believe its anything to do with growing, I'm 21 and I've definitely stopped growing and I remain as uncoordinated as ever lol. They've always found it cute and funny not bad.

Not really, it doesn't make a difference to me. But considering that you're in a relationship, it obviously doesn't matter to whoever you're dating either, which is significantly more important than what any of us stay.
