MAry, You're right I mixed you up with Robbie; Sorry 'bout that. 🙂

I suspect you're pretty young, no? Perhaps a teenager, when self-image is so very important? Your feelings are perfectly normal, but there is a way to learn to cope with these kinds of 'thoughts' or 'voices' in your head about your appearance........
This is a great book for starters....

"There Is Nothing Wrong With You for Teens"

Yup that was my post! 😀 Yeah I'm 21 Kevj. I know I don't look *too* different from most people and a lot of it is just in my head, but feeling so self-concious (that's why we're posting in this thread, right?) I do get very nervous and feel bad when people just stare-and presumably not because they think I look hot! :wink: I'd feel a lot less self-conscious if people just looked away...makes me feel bad 🙁

robbied84, If you're interested and anyone else on this thread. I went through what you did - it took me a long time and a lot of searching and experimenting to get over (still lingers a little).

But nothing really changed for me until my mid-thrities! Don't let that happen to you! If you're interested, I can help. 🙂
