I hate my chubby looking face and my height (I'm 4'11)... I feel like a slut sometimes because I want people to see that my body isn't as chubby as my face makes me look. My hair as well. I always feel like it's working against my face, lol. One day I think it looks good and the other day I have to make a drastic change because it made me look chubby. It's naturally an auburn/dark red color, but I dye it all kinds of browns and let it grow out then cut it short really soon after. When I do cut it short, I sometimes wear extensions. Mainly because it's fun, but also because I like to hide myself in long hair sometimes. I'm also insecure about my sexual orientation. I never know if I'm bi or straight, even though I realize it really doesn't matter as long as I'm true to myself. I've just gotten screwed over from both sides of the fence so many times.

Anyway, I hate that things as shallow as these bother me, but they do. It feels good to talk about it in a logical manner though, so what are some of your own insecurities? ... If you're comfortable discussing them, of course.

It's not shallow. Some people would say that, but it's really normal especially for us teenage girls. During the teen years are self esteem is the lowest.

I'm kinda like you. I'm kinda chubby-ish, and so I don't want to wear baggy clothes or things with frills that made me look fat. I like clothes that fit so my curves are kinda accentuated. It doesn't really make anyone a slut for wanting to dress in a way that makes your body looks nice. If it makes you feel better about yourself, why not? That's my thoughts anyways.

I have insecurities with my eyebrows because they're kinda bushy and idk if I would look better if I actually got them thinned, but I kinda don't wanna do that. And the hair on my arms, like it's an on and off thing. Sometimes I don't care about it, but sometimes I think I should shave it off.

Those are like my main ones.

I'm insecure about being too thin. I am very ubderweight and people constantly tease me about it and say I have anorexia or something. Which I don't. I am at 71 lbs and having issues keeping weight (matabolism thing). Because of this most of my clothes are too baggy, which I do admit, I would rather have clothes that are... Not baggy but not too tight either. If rather not make my rib cage more prominent.
Another is my looks. I look like I am way younger than 17. People tend to overlook me or not take me seriously enough.
And then there are also my breasts being very small.
Also, Victory, I'm right there with ya on height. I'm somewhere around 4'11-5'1 (I usually say I'm 5' to avoide confusion)

im not really insecure about this but its something I think about, I act a bit camp and some of my friends are really manly and they all know im straight, I feel like I must be careful to not come across as gay

I got my eyebrows thinned and I didn't like it. I don't think it went well with my roundish face, lol.

AyVannah, people always think I'm like 14, so I know the feel. My mom says in 15 years it'll be a blessing but I still think it's annoying xD

Lol xD my cousins boyfriend teases me by saying when I'm outa school, people will be saying "shouldn't you be in school young lady?" And he thinks I'm a middle schooler. His first assumption was that I was younger than my 16 year old cousin -.- xD

my main insecurity is that because I act pretty camp, I may come across gay, obviously my friends family and gf know this isnt the case sometimes I feel people misinterprete me as gay.

i would just like to stress I have nothing against gay men at all, I only wurry people may think im gay and treat me differently because of it

I'm really insecure about my body and how I look, I also get really nervous for no real reason just like about if I say something I get nervous that people are judging me or something because of it and I always feel like people are looking at me or making fun of me and stuff. I also don't have many friends and I've never been in a relationship which I think is kind of caused by me being insecure but it also makes me more insecure because I think it's because of how I look or what I do if that makes any sense... :(

I have a pretty weird insecurity. I'm always afraid of being hurt by someone. I think I'm too nice to the wrong people and I always get treated badly

you sound like you have social anxiety, just relax and be yourself!! I know it sounds silly but would you be friends with someone that's shy and lacks confidence? :)

if people are treating you badly, it's their fault, NOT yours! if theyre mean, leave them and there's nothing wrong with being nice:)

I'm insecure about the fact that I've never even been asked out by a guy, let alone had a boyfriend. Haha, my mom's even called me a spinster.

Girl it does not matter, chubby...pff so? i like it see a slightly chuby girl because she is not a damn styick figure like some.
Your hair is a lovely colour and you dont need to dye it, auburn/dark red color is locely!
And your sexuality is not important in the lest, you love whoever you want to male or femail, infact that just shows you are very accepting of others.
You are a lovely persone who i am sure people love to be around and have no reason to be insercure about how you look
I mean loom at me, im an ugly spud and i dont care any nether does anyone else. What i am trying to ay is love yourse;f so that others can aswell!

My teeth are straight but they have a really noticable gap in the front, but that doesn't really bother me because they're white and aren't crooked just have a ton of space

My Eyebrows...
I have a total love/hate situation

What I love about them:
They are literally perfect, I never have every trimmed, waxed, plucked or shaved and they are literally perfect, like the shape, thickness, bushiness, color and they never grow hairs like a unibrow or outside they're shape

What I hate about them:
NO ONE beleives I leave them untouched, They're always like "Oh dude your eyebrows are perfect, you get them done dont you! That's so girly wow"
And they never ever believe me :mad:
Then girls are like
"Wow you have awesome eyebrows, wow where do you get them done...."

But UGGH it kinda sucks because they are always getting comments and everyone like "that's so weird", "How gay", "Guys never get they're eyebrows done", "I don't believe you" and stuff....

But hey, at least I don't have to wax, trim and shave like other guys?

short girls are cute. round faces are cute. girls obsessed with looking skinny are a complete and utter turnoff. (My opinion of course).

Well, I'm insecure about my weight and how people look at me. When I was young, my body matured so fast that even when I'm in grade 5, they thought that I was a freshman because of my chest. And I have the biggest pairs back then and it really bothered me everytime when guys look at it and when girls say that it's overized for my age. But I don't care about it now, I just can't wear pretty dresses and all the thin girls wear. And It somehow bothers me sometimes.
