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.
It’s ok I’m trying to cope :) Yea i feel ya my mom is the exact same way it’s rough
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 🌿
Hey ty! I’ve already talked to my mom about it several times so now I’m just trying to learn how to cope :) Maybe I should reach out to some friends instead :)
And ty sm for replying!
My dad jus noticed and told me i was being uncivilized. Is this true?
Your body, your choice ♡
Agreed❤️
possibly unrelated. but can the girls help me out. i’m 15 and i’m having a full panic and breakdown over how my boobs haven’t grown since i started puberty 4 years ago. i don’t even fit an AA cup and my family think it’s funny. i don’t want to be small
Okay so this is not about OCD but I need to get it off my chest and this is the closest thing to therapy that I have cause it it very expensive and I can't afford it. I feel like my mom has a sexual problem. I feel unsafe around her. When I can growing up she always wanted to touch me and touch and see my boobs. When I hugged her she would always try to touch my back trying to figure out if I was wearing a bra or a tank top. And between 1 and 2 years ago I stopped letting her touch me. Not my hands, not a hug, nothing. And even though I've told her that I don't like touching she always tries to grab my but, or my thigh or my belly. When she does I feel like I wanna push her and I have a panick attack. I'm 19. She doesn't like when I have friends. It feels like she gets jealous and she always tries to keep me home, to not go out at all. I feel like I'm not making any sense but I needed to get that off my back
Please only read this if you are 18+ (contains mention of s**cide) I have had severe body dysmorphia since beginning college. I’ve been skinny my whole life and have an entirely flat chest. I was doing really good for a while, but I made the mistake of looking at social media today… There is an influencer who is built exactly like me and I always go to her page to find positivity…I looked at some of her recent posts and the things men and women were saying about her were horrific. Among some of the many hate comments were things like “nightmare body”, “genetically inferior to other women”, and just brutal things each of which would take a person years to recover from hearing. There were countless gifs of dancing skeletons, and a lot of surprisingly attractive people brutally bashing her. I haven’t felt suicidal in years and all at once I see very little point in going on. The world has finally defeated me and I just can’t see what the point is in seeking happiness if I could only ever possibly be lying to myself when i feel good about myself.
