18+ ONLY This is kinda stupid but it bothers me. I always wear a bra bc I have rlly big boobs. But recently sometimes if I’m just going out for a quick errand i jus don’t wear any. I’m gonna be a bit graphic, but my boobs aren’t rlly the same size and bc they’re so big they sag a lot. But it doesn’t bother me if I’m running an errand with my family bc it’s just a quick run and i don’t feel like wearing it for their approval. But my mom always lectures me and tells me to wear one, and how it doesn’t even look good, they aren’t the same size, etc. i understand what she’s saying, but it took me so long to get to this point. I told her over and over it only bothers me when she says something about it, but she continues to do it anyway. What should I do? I’m not happy with my body either but I’ve seen other ppl who struggle with similar problems and they had the courage to do these things so I finally have the courage to do it, but it hurts when she says these things and my family joins in to agree with her. Any advice?

That’s really hard. It sounds like your family has different expectations about what is acceptable in regards to your body than you do. It’s your body! I know my mom would say the same if I didn’t wear a bra in public, she’s more conservative and old fashioned and “a lady” wouldn’t go out without one on. Times are changing though, and body positivity is so much more prevalent (thank goodness). If you’ve already talked to them and nothing is changing, I’m sorry you’re still having to deal with that.

i think you’re completely justified in what you feel. hearing something like that can really sting. if you want, you could bring this up to them. being honest about how it affects you could possibly open up a conversation on what kind of language would make you feel respected. if they continue without change, i would suggest connecting with someone for support. ur family members should bring you up, not the opposite. good luck with everything 🌿

My dad jus noticed and told me i was being uncivilized. Is this true?

Your body, your choice ♡
