Sanal said:Yeh I have issues bout my looks (not shy or anything but some strange inferiority complexes), and planning for a cosmetic surgery though people say its all BS stuff n I look good, but I am not satisfied. I go to gym and my metabolism is strange that I can gain weight fast and lose it even faster, so thats not a big problem.
Oceanmist23 said:There's only one thing I've ever had low self-esteem about, and that's the boobs. Lol yup, I wanted bigger ones for a long long LONG time.
Now I realise I should be happy with what I got. Not only happy, but ******* grateful.
I don't have to deal with back pain, sagginess, stretch marks, discomfort when jogging and bra straps that dig into my shoulders.
And since my Estrogen level is low I should be at less risk of getting breast cancer.
Oceanmist23 said:There's far more important things in life than having plastic surgery to try to feel better about yourself...
What are you gonna do when the plastic surgery goes wrong, and you DO look like honeysuckle?
What the fresia are you gonna do then?
Yeah, come talk to me about not being happy about your looks when that happens...
If celebrities with all the money in the world can't even get it right, what makes you think you can?
Nyktimos said:Plus some men (me, for example) actually like smaller boobs on a woman. I don't know why. It's just a thing.
Nyktimos said:True. Plus, once you go down the road of thinking you can change what you don't like you will be forever looking in the mirror and seeing things to change. Before you know it, you'll be looking in the mirror thinking 'I look great' while everyone else thinks 'what a freak'.
Nyktimos said:Having said that, I would like to sort my teeth out. They really are a mess. Being conscious of a bad smile means that every time something makes you laugh or smile the moment is tainted with self-consciousness.
Brian said:Oh jeebus, I do.
I'll be going to the gym again in about a week...since it's a PE credit for my college courses. I like it though, makes me feel good. And since it's warming up I'll probably start making more use of our equipment at work (it's out in the truck bay so it's cold in the winter ).
My biggest source of self loathing is my smile. My teeth aren't necessarily crooked, but they're pretty cramped and so some of them are partially behind others, and while it's not visually noticeable, my bite doesn't sit very well. I've considered going in for braces...I'd like to. But it's pretty expensive, and it'd be about two years of the same self consciousness (or worse) due to the braces themselves before I could get them off and be normal looking.

BOOBIES!!!
VanillaCreme said:Invisiline are a good alternative to braces. They are clear, and they kind of slip onto your teeth. So you won't have those stupid little prongy things or brackets or spacers jammed in between your teeth or stupid wire poking you in the back of your cheek. -_-

I consulted with the dentist briefly the last time I went in for a cleaning...apparently mine are too severe for invisalign, because I asked about it. :\ If I was a candidate for invasalign I would have scheduled for it then and there.
