Why are we ashamed for our bodies?

i'm terribly ashamed of mine 80% of the time. but i seem to do the most good that 20% of the time when i'm not.

 

I have no shame.

 

I am a little nervious when it comes down to full nudity when I am around others but that is all. Swim suit? Hehe I love swimming at large gathering. Behold my out of shape briliance!

 

about 2 years/year ago i was very ashamed(i prefer insecure however).. but since then i've lost a lot, to get fit enough for assault courses, now no one complain

my only complaint is im 17 on the B.M.I scale

 

I have a large scar on my left chest. It took years for me to work up enough nerve to take my shirt off around people. Then when I did, guess what, no one paid any attention to it. They were busy talking to me or having fun or doing their own thing. People do not look at us anywhere near as much as we worry they do.

 

another aspect that im not ashamed of, but it makes me uncomfortable, would be the 6 or so inch long scar that runs along my groin, pretty deep cut too

when i sleep with someone they usually stare, ask, or try not to mention it, and it makes either me or them uncomfortable

 

im not so much ashamed as i am uncomfortable.. but even that's not nearly as bad as it used to be.. as i've gotten older, i've become more open minded about the whole subject of beauty.. and my idea of beauty isn't whats in the magazines anymore.. i used to like what they told me to like.. but now i like what I like

i guess you could say that im coming to terms with my body.. my friends have been a tremendous help, along with my man.. he's the only lover i've had (aside from the girl ) who's actually made me feel beautiful...

aside from being overweight, the only things that "bother" me about my body are my uneven breasts..(yeah, i know all women are naturally uneven to some extent - mine is pretty noticeable.) and my birthmark.. i have a birthmark on my left forearm about 2 inches from my wrist.. it's this raised, oval shaped spot that's much darker than my pale skin tone.. oh, and it grows dark hair. (i shave the hair off.. i even waxed it once - ouch!) i mean, i've always had it, so normally i forget it's even there.. but sometimes i see it.. and realize that yeah, it's still there..

anyways, im trying really hard to love my body.. it just takes time..

So sad we waste our energy on being dis-satisfied with physical attributes of our bodies. Turning that same energy into appreciation is the key to self love. I do believe that there are no mistakes in creation and our images reflect the intent of the Goddess. Possibly it is us that need to change the way in which we view each other, with softer eyes not so harsh and judgmental. What is the ideal aesthetic anyway? Beauty is subjective, and subject to interpertation. walk confidentaly,love your self and others wil love that about you. I have moles and freckles on my body, maybe some one thinks that's ugly, sorry it is the way I was intended to be and that how I am. I have aquired a few scars on my body along the way but each has it own story they are all a part of the patchwork that makes my quilt of skin. I have always found myself with people who have crazy birth marks and or scars, some thing sexy about things like that. Just have to find the right person to appreciate all aspects of ya.

 

I absolutely love well looked after human bodies I do my best to eat healthily and care for myself, and i certainly wouldnt say i was ashamed of my body. I find most human bodies beautiful in some way.

hell no, I'm not ashamed, I've had two babies and I still look this good and am closer now to my target weight.. I'm happy as hell with how I look.

 

you should be. from what I can tell, you're really hot

 

There are things I could do to improve myself, but I am not ashamed. I f anyone doesn't like me, then that is their problem for being shallow in the first place.

 

I`m not ashamed of my body.I know i`m not perfect,but is there anyone who is?

 

I'm ashamed because I'm ugly but the reason I wouldn't be nude if I was gorgeous is that this society sucks, if you walk around nude people think you're a freak and if you don't women don't know what they're getting untill there's no way back.

Ahhh, the voice of reason. So nice.

 

I still need to exhibitionistic about my body, just for the reassurance.....

Online Female friend of mine summed it up best for both of us..

"It's nice to know I still have something somebody wants"


For various reasons, neither of us is participating in sex.. But I guess we're still showing what we got, and if I stopped for any time, the doubts would creep back in....

 

i'm happy with my body and not ashamed to show it. of course theres things i'd change, i used to be iinsecure, but i've come to embrace the goddess and consider each woman a manifestation of one

 

No. I love myself the way I am. No use in worrying what others think of my body, because if you think about it, everyone's so busy worrying about themselves that they don't notice you worrying about your own insecurities.

 

I'm ashamed of my body, because I have really large breasts. I get tired of buying a larger size shirt. I wish I had smaller breasts. But, that is something that I have to live with.
