Are You Self-Conscious?
 
I'm very self-conscious, mostly about my weight but about other things as well.

Anyone else?

Limey-chan May 16th, 2009 4:48 PM

Yeah, quite a bit actually. Mostly about what others think of how I dress and how I look etc.

I'm sure that'll change when I get older and start to not be as fussed about what people think ^^

Gummy May 16th, 2009 4:58 PM

I try not to be, but whenever I'm wearing even slightly tight clothes, I worry about my weight. But other than that, I can be a pretty confident person (especially when I'm around friends).

Her May 16th, 2009 5:00 PM

Unless I'm around a extremely large group of people, then no. But when I do, it's usually about what the hell I look like.

Amaruuk May 16th, 2009 5:15 PM

Sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not. It's never about my looks, though. Rather, I worry about how I sound to people or their impression of things I say. Contrary to what it may seem here, I'm horrible at sounding like I know what I'm talking about or getting my point across in general, especially if I'm in the presence of someone who makes me extra nervous, then I just sound like a babbling idiot.

I used to be quite skinny, and this girl would always point it out.
She would like offer me some food and if I refused she'd say ' You should, you're say *expletive* skinny!' That didn't make me feel so good.
Around new people I am extremely shy and nervous. I find it hard to start a conversation or say anything. They end up getting freaked out, and so that's another person I end up killing off a possible friendship with.

Klippy May 16th, 2009 10:45 PM

Extremely.

I guess I just have no confidence. I'm a pretty good looking guy, I don't wanna sound cocky though, but I would say I'm good looking. I've got a great personality, I know I do because I get tons of compliments from adults who think I'm really good for a teenager.

Around teenagers though, I clam up and lose it all. I'm working really hard on it, so...hopefully I can fix the problem. D:

Fox♠ May 17th, 2009 1:01 PM

At the moment I am because I have a burn on my nose, and I know people notice it and that really gets me down.

It's also fair to say I;ve gained a little extra baggage but I;m not huge so I'm not too bothered about that.

BHwolfgang May 17th, 2009 1:31 PM

I am, but only towards friendship. If he/she and I stopped talking for even a short amount of time, I would think he/she has stopped liking me. I would then freak out and try my best to chat with him/her more, which leads to them thinking that I'm an annoying boi. D:

Other than that, I'm pretty confident. :3

Lynnx May 17th, 2009 1:38 PM

Sort of, I suppose. I mean, I care about whether my clothes match and how my hair looks, but I won't freak out if I fall in mud or whatever. I guess I'm a lot more confident in groups or with a close friend.

PokemonMichael May 17th, 2009 1:39 PM

Im shy and that doesnt help my confidence, obviobsly. xD Im skinny so weight isnt an issue, its just i dont like being the leader of anything, as my inconfidence shows. xD. So yes, i am. :/

True Reign May 17th, 2009 1:42 PM

I have only one issue with myself and that's my breath.

Recently it's been really disgusting. Even after I brush my teeth, but it'll probably change once I get my braces off or something. My mom told me my breath sticks because I probably have food in the back of my mouth (which I can't get with floss).

♣Gawain♣ May 18th, 2009 3:31 AM

Always. Every time I wake up I'll check if there's something in my eye, or check if there's something smells in my armpit. :O

And after every meals, I'll brush my teeth.

Swift! May 18th, 2009 4:33 AM

Yes, about my nose and eyebrows. Too tired to go into detail.

Translator May 18th, 2009 4:55 AM

Yes, I am sometimes self-conscious and sometimes I am not.

Alex May 18th, 2009 6:37 AM

I am self-conscious about whether or not people like me. D: It actually really sucks.

Azumi May 18th, 2009 9:48 PM

Me?

My studies. If I fail two subjects in my three main subjects (Chinese, English, Math) I stay as a Grade 8 student.

sirboulevard May 18th, 2009 11:13 PM

I find myself getting less self-concious over the years. The big one currently is my weight. Every summer I gain a ton at home because of my parents cooking, then I go back to school 30 lbs heavier, lose it, summer comes and I gain it back. Its a never ending cycle. Currently Im ok with my body, its only got a bit of mid section pudge which is hardly noticable and other wise i tend to not care about how physical form looks (its a human body, get over it). The other thing that gets me self concious is speaking in public. This has diminished since i took a class for my major on public speaking but I still feel nervous and disoriented on stage (at least I dont look it anymore).

.inLOVE May 19th, 2009 1:38 AM

I'm self conscious about my weight and my hairstyle. But that's all.

Vie May 19th, 2009 6:03 AM

I am self conscious when I work with horses...but with me...nooo.. not a thing.

레트로 May 20th, 2009 11:26 AM

Well let's get started. D:
  • My hair, like holy crap, it can never be right!
  • My nose, like hello, freaking huge!
  • Clothes. No matter what I do, no matter what I buy, I feel as if I look like poo!

Hey, that's not a very long list, maybe I shouldn't feel so down! :D

Cheesymitten May 20th, 2009 11:30 AM

Hmm i'm not so self concious, maybe a little over my clothes, which i happen to be growing out of.
That's about it, my hair's okay, there's no need to brush it...Is there?

Mr.Kirby May 20th, 2009 11:52 AM

Oh I'm self conscious 99% of the time about absolutely everything. How I look, my art, how I sound for speeches, my grades, how people think of me in general, everything. Even at school if I'm just doodling, I'll try to hide to so others won't see them. ^^;

ShadowLeader May 20th, 2009 12:03 PM

my hair....idk why but im very particular about the way it lays...when its not laying right i feel like i draw some attention to myself....

The Red Chain May 20th, 2009 2:35 PM

Somewhat..
I tend to wear a zipped up jacket when I go out even if it's scorching hot outside.
I'm mostly self conscious about my body and not anything else.
