How confident and comfortable do you feel in your body?

[na2398]

The society unfortunately judges a lot of you, but each one of you deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your body regardless of physical appearance. What are the biggest societal hindrances to this, and how do you think we could solve this?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I feel comfortable enough. There's a few adjustments that could be made though.

[na2398]

What adjustments are you referring to?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

There's a few: Getting braces for my teeth, getting my toes straightened out, getting my eyebrows done again, and abs. Everything else seems to be fine.

I’m ugly, and unworthy of enjoying nice clothes. I’m too poor to focus on my looks but rather focus on making my bills every month. Some folks have different priorities I guess

[na2398]

Nobody's ugly 😊 Even if you have other priorities, you don't deserve to be labelled that way

I love my body and men go crazy for it. I am very comfortable with the physical part, like in bed or walking around or in a club. I enjoy being a sexual athlete and I see bed or wherever we are doing things as my playing field.

It's the mental part of having a great body that gets me sometimes. I don't mind people looking at my body and deciding on one look that I'm a slut. They aren't wrong. I am one and I'm proud of it. But I don't like people looking at my body and thinking because I'm blond or what men think as fuckable, that means I'm stupid. I'm not stupid.

I used to be stupid though. I come from a stupid, racist family that works with their hands. They never read a book in their lives. They went down the rabbit hole, so I had to overcome. I still don't even know what all I don't know because of how fucking racist and Q my family is. A lot of girls are raised like me. But people see my body and use it against my mind. They think it's okay to question my choices and try to fuck with me and the men I give my body to. But just because we are athletic and we want to fuck doesn't mean we have no brains and can't be educated.

I was one of the smartest in my school. I would have been salutatorian, but people started a rumor I was fucking teachers for grades. And the only proof they had was my body is good. They even had an investigation over it after some complaints. I might have done some things, but it wasn't that teacher and I never got a grade I didn't earn with my mind and my hard work. But somehow because my body is one men really like, they say I didn't earn it. That still fucks with my head.

Girl, you do you 🤗 Chuck anyone who judges you or takes you for granted. And thanks for piquing my curiosity

[texascollegegirl]

Thanks, that's very sweet

[na2398]

Do you mind connecting here?

[Nikki1989]

Very confident and comfortable now, but it wasn't always that way. My teenage years were rough at times.

[na2398]

I'm sorry to hear about your teenage years. Do you mind elaborating on that? More power to you ✨

[Nikki1989]

I was bullied and teased a lot by other girls. I still face that now sometimes, but I have learned to ignore it.

[na2398]

You don't deserve that. You do you 😁

[PickleTree303]

There is confidence in me. The body withers with time, but the mind is like a secret lock to all those who are ready to open with it a key. Everyday to wake up with gratitude is a gift. So as long as my breath goes forward my body follows.

[na2398]

Second that 🤗 What stimulates your mind?

[PickleTree303]

To give love to those in the generations to come. In my mantra I am loving, I am kind, I am thoughtful, and I am peaceful. This is repeated everyday.

[na2398]

Geez, I second these. Do you mind connecting here? Always a pleasure 😊

[SugarSugarplum]

LOL Where else would I be?

[na2398]

On board a yacht party in Ibiza 😂😆

[elizamichale1]

Very very confident

[na2398]

Have you always felt that way?

[elizamichale1]

Not always but i started feeling so after 21

[na2398]

Interesting. Do you feel confident and sexy in your skin? 😊

[elizamichale1]

I m more than confident of myself honey

[na2398]

Glad to hear that hon 🙂 Do you mind connecting here? Always a pleasure ☺️

[elizamichale1]

Sure why not n thanks

[na2398]

Thank you Eliza 🤗

[elizamichale1]

😊😊

[DishLady]

Very.

[na2398]

Glad to hear. Was it always the same?

[DishLady]

Yeah. I learned in Kindergarten that my hair and skin and accent were different from the popular kids... I met my first bully and listened to him for about three days, going home each afternoon and asking my mom to "fix" the thing he had pointed out to me... But the fourth day when I realized he was just a jerk I shoved him in the mud in the playground and told him he's got the problem, not me, bc I look and sound like millions of people across the mediterranean (which was a line I borrowed from my grandpa).

I've been ok with myself ever since -- barring my first week of acne around 12/13, lol.

[na2398]

Savage you 😆 Good that you showed him his place. Well, it seems acne has left your face, very confident lady 😂

[DishLady]

Well, it took a lot for me to get that upset too. I remember my teacher telling my mom that I was always kind and sharing crayons and making friends and showing other kids how to tie their shoes... that she was surprised I pushed the kid. I never physically fought anyone again. Mom taught me to use my words from that day onward. 😂 😂 😂

[na2398]

Guess what topped the city headlines that day? 😂🤣

[DishLady]

I can't imagine. :D

[na2398]

But you can use your words 😉😂

[DishLady]

That's right, lol.

[na2398]

😂😂😂 Do you hail from a European Mediterranean country though? Greetings from Dublin 😀

[DishLady]

I do. Oh! Lovely. I was literally just talking to a friend about the *Tain Bo Cuailnge* today -- and the famous bronze statue of Cúchulainn at Dublin post office. She's heading out there in the Fall.

[na2398]

Geez, that's so cool 😎 You should've accompanied her. Fall is a splendid time to have some great craic 😁 I've been to all Mediterranean countries, and reckon you might hail from Portugal or Spain 😅

[DishLady]

Perhaps in the future. I’ve always wanted to visit!

[Babygirl_S]

Confident enough

[na2398]

Have you always felt that way? If not, how did it change?

[Babygirl_S]

No, I was self-conscious as a teenager
