Why can't I accept my imperfect and ugly body? Do I need therapy or surgery? Are girls pretty even with flaws?
Hello. I am 18 years old, come from a good family, I am very talented and good at school, I am routinely told I'm gorgeous and I have a very successful life ahead of me. But I'm plagued by such a bad body image. I have to admit--when I'm fully clothed, I think I look fine. I have good features. I'm also slim with clothes on. No one would ever really tell the storm inside my heart. I have big aureoles and stretch marks on my ***. I have money for plastic surgery, but should it be better used on therapy? GUYS: Please be honest. I have heard before many times that big nipples are a turn off. I am a single girl of 18. I have stretchmarks on my *** that are not just small. They're so gross and nasty and ugly, dismarking my otherwise nice lower half. I have good breasts except my HUGE areolas. I can add links to show. This is out of insecurity and a hideous amount of self-hate. But what do you think? Is a girl less attractive because of these flaws? And is it a huge turn off? Can you accept big areolas and still find a girl beautiful? I hav added a few pictures of myself to show you how I otherwise look clothed. Me naked is a different story. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/165528_501233409726_516764726_5864327_2030030_n.jpg http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/165527_497026144726_516764726_5811695_6019914_n.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/149941_456703509726_516764726_5212146_5382721_n.jpg http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/37934_447494014726_516764726_5057549_5228213_n.jpg WHY AM I YOUNG WITH THESE STRETCH MARKS? why can 30 year old women be beautiful and have perfect skin and I CANT?! :( I know I have it better than a lot of disabled people or people living in poverty. Sometimes I feel so guilty to be ungrateful for what I have. But I cant help it, which is why I'm thinking of therapy. Maybe I'm stupid to hate myself for this. But I want it fixed so bad. MY AREOLAS ARENT JUST A LITTLE TOO BIG. THEYRE HUGE! AND MY STRETCH MARKS...ARE BIG, WHITE, AND COVER MY SIDES. oh, i'm nasty. i just hate it. i cry and worry a lot about it. please help me. Thanks very much to the four who've answered....But yes, I am afraid that I won't find someone to love. I'm afraid that if I'm dating a guy who thinks I'm gorgeous, the moment he sees me naked he'll realize I'm not hwom he thought I was. I feel terrible, absolutely terrible looking at myself naked.... But at the same time I have overwhelming guilt.. Like is this fair that I hate myself for something I cannot even control? BLust--Can I see pictures of your gorgeousness? ^o) haha. And thanks, that did make me feel better. LOL Also I saw what you said to that chick with the youtube video pics...you're kind of mean eh? She was very cute.

- Let me tell you about bio-oil I had stretch marks on my butt from weight loss and I would cry and cry and cry every day but then I saw this and tried it and after 2 months my stretch marks were gone! Get it and use it!!! You are beyond gorgeous and if you want a boob job get one I'm 17 and have a tiny bust I have a boob job fund for the day I turn 18 so I can go get my surgery if that's what will make you happy do it! But your really pretty and thin and gorgeous:)
- Just use mederma or bio-oil. But more importantly: If you feel that therapy could help you, try to get a therapist!
- woah girly you have major image issues. Maybe you should try and think through exactly what it is that makes you feel so terrible. WHAT exactly are you afraid of? what terrible thing is going to happen as a result of you having some minor flaws? so does everybody. do you honestly think that some guy is going to see you naked and then not want you because you have big nipples?? (*raises eyebrows). trust me luvvy, from life experience: your life partner surely is nooot going to mind about those little iimperfections you worry about. shivers, only people who'd mind is a naked-modelling agency, and they'd fix it with computer graphics. haha so who cares? so try and figure it out: are you afraid you are not going to find love? are you afraid someone will taunt you for your imperfections? both of these are ridiculous, even you must see that. like, WHO CARES WAT U LOOK LIKE NAKED APART FROM YOUR LOVER, and he is just going to have to accept some faults, like every other single human being. btw, I'm 20 yrs old, and I've had similar white stretch marks since I was 17, which happened after a growth spurt. I still have the stretch marks, though at the time i was obsessed with them and used a lot of vitamen E oil which faded them a little. I also have very small boobs I was always self conscious about. nowadays, I have a gorgeous, loving boyfriend who does not give a penny that i have small boobs and white stretch marks on my bum. LOL seriously, figure out what your afraid of and realise that this kind of worry is not worth your time! good luck :):)
- Sweetheart. You're beautiful. I don't know about when you're naked, but I'm SURE you can't look as bad as you think. Also, the point is that what counts is if you look nice when you're clothed, like you think you do. Because this is how the majority of people see you, unless you're a slut which I'm sure you're not. This being the case, only a select few people are going to see you naked when you are at your "ugliest" as you see it. And if you have good judgement and choose wisely, the people who WILL see you naked won't be the type of A-holes that would be disgusted by large nipples or stretchmarks. I am also 18 and when I was about 13 I put on a lot of weight due to medication I was on for epilepsy as a child, and although i've lost the weight since then and am now about 8 1/2 stone which is nearly underweight for my height I still have stretchmark scars. My scars are barely noticeable, but I still feel somewhat spoiled by them. I'm also not as toned as I'd like to be since losing the weight..like my bum is a bit flat and my boobs shrunk like anything. I look good in clothes but I still have some hang-ups without them, I do know how you feel. But enough about me, you say that you are talented and going on to lead a successful life? So your self esteem isn't completely destroyed and it's good that you can say these good things about yourself. You can learn to do the same about yourself physically too I expect, over time. Bear in mind that the things you hate about yourself, chances are that not everybody else will share your view. Also, the fact that you have a beautiful face will probably detract from any imperfections on your body! Please don't get surgery, you're lovely.
- "I have a very successful life ahead of me" lol that is what you said.... How can this be possible when your way of thinking is so fked up? First of all whoever told you that large areolas is a turn off, LIED THROUGH THEIR FKIN TEETH!!! They are smoking hot & this is not coming from some smuck. This is coming from a dude who on a scale of 1 - 10 is a 17!!!! One mans drink is another mans poison or so they say. If you think you have it bad, lol think how I feel. I have women asking me out all the time but you cant ask them (scuse me but do you have saucer size nipples?) Now the stretch marks I could look over if the areolas were big enough. lol we all have our hangups so just chill. I can not walk past a mirror without thinking "It should be illegal to look this good" lol but yet I still find the strength to go on with life. LOL it was not mean it was honest. The problem with the written word is that there are no facial expressions or tones of voice to put everything into context. It is just ironic that the people who say they are the most "insecure" or "self conscious" seem to have the most pictures of themselves. A persons words should really match their actions. If you have a slide show on youtube lol you are pretty comfortable with the way you look ;) LOL oh wait I forgot,,,, I could show you pictures of my perfection but then a few days from now I would be watching the news... Top Story, women found naked, drown in her own drool. You laying there, panties around your ankles and my picture on your monitor. lol the press would have a field day with it. Now how am I suppose to live with myself after something like that? And if you opt to take that chick up on the sex offer, I want video of it lol
- im a girl and i would have sex with you...take that any way you want
