Do you struggle with clothing?

I have settled to only wearing plain white Hane's t-shirts, because of a few reasons.

One, is that I expecience extreme anxiety when trying to look for clothes in a store, so to avoid this I quickly grab a pack of small white Hane's t-shirts from a shelf and am done. I wish I could enjoy shopping for clothes like any other normal person, but the anxiety is just too much. As for shorts, I always have to settle when looking for shorts because I just go as fast as possible and I think everyone is staring at me. Also I try to avoid pants, and now that I think about it, the only time I think I wear pants is the required pair at my fast food job.

I think that deep down, the reason why I don't wear pants is because I feel i am hiding myself from people. i think it is a good thing on my part because rather than to hide my skinny body, i am forcing myself to expose it. i live in Florida by the way, so pants really are not required with no extreme cold weather anyways.

Another reason is that I really don't know what I want to wear. I don't know what I could possibly look good in. Probably nothing because I am skinny and ugly. I just look like crap in everything. I know some people really dress up with collared shirts and all but I just can't do it. Don't get me wrong, i would love to be a person that is required to wear a nice suit to work someday like a business man in a city, but at this rate I just can't see that happening. i thnk the main reason is because I don't want to have attention. I just try to stay plain so no one notices.

i'm sorry for typing so much. i always do this. i just get on here and type away all these nagative things about myself. :( so sorry

I'm not as nervous when shopping for clothes. But can tell you that I'm really skinny as well, so often I have to shop around the boys area which is embaressing because I'm already 20.

hey cloaked...please don't ever feel badly about posting negative stuff about yourself or how you're feeling, we all do it :wink: ..the reason we are all here is to share our experiences, negative and positive. I think, for most of us, we are the only other people who fully understand what we are all going through. We look forward to reading your posts..and can likely relate to most of what you're dealing with..or at least listen and try to help :)
