Confused of my body hair

[Andrew13]

I don’t shave any parts of my body except facial hair. I have lots of armpit hair and hairy legs (also hairy pubes). I feel confused when I’m not in shirt or I’m in a vest. So how can I stop feeling confused. Maybe you’re hairy too and don’t shave your body hair. If you like me so say are you often without T-shirt around people and which was their reaction.

I think that hairy guys should at least keep things trimmed because you might look a bit unclean.

I'm confused. You talk about not wearing a shirt or vest ... what does that have to do with hairy legs and pubes. Pits I sorta get, but that's not a big deal. Guys should have pit hair imo. That's like the #1 area where I feel all guys can agree it's ok to be hairy besides the head. You said nothing about having hairy chest or arms so I am confused about your shirt/vest comment. If you wanna trim your legs and pubes that's up to you. I would leave the pits alone. Note that if you do decide to shave legs (or arms, or chest, or anywhere people often see) you will pretty much have to keep shaving them all through high school or else they will notice.

B proud of leg and chest hair if u
have it. Pube and underarm hair
can b trimmed if it bothers u.

I think it's fine to trim, especially pits. I think too much pit hair can be unattractive and can lead to some hygiene issues.

If you are concerned with your body hair then you can trim it. There is nothing wrong with keeping it under control and not looking too hairy

Not sure what your issues really are.
It seems that you have 3 choices
1. live with what you have
2. buy a pair of clippers and trim. Keep some hair
3. Shave

So given you didn't mention chest hair is the issue that people can see your armpit hair when you are topless or wearing a vest rather than a shirt?

As people have said, you can shave what you want to, but sooner or later people will start to see you as mature, i.e. a man rather than a boy and there isn't much point in trying to delay that artificially by pretending your development is not as advanced as it is.

Also bear in mind that while you may be self conscious, at least at the moment, other people are probably not nearly as interested in it. Beyond noticing for the first time they probably won't pay it any more attention.

It shouldn't be any big deal to show others your body hair and pit hair when wearing tank tops or vests or even when you go swimming. We are all different and some of us are hairier than others. That's just the way it is so don't worry about it and it's no reason to get confused over having body hair.
