Edited to add: I know the title was written grammatically incorrect. It was an accident, grammer police! Sorry!


When it comes to dating/men...what area do you find yourself feeling self-conscious?

Well, not long ago I would have said the same as many of you...my weight. That is until I ran into a former boyfriend who said that I was dressing sexy and really looked great! He said my confidence was amazing and (he didn't know at the time about BF/F) he asked me out. I politely declined, but he told me to keep him in mind if I decided to part ways with BF/F. It was a good ego boost!


I have two insecurities that I am self conscious about. One is my daughter's emotional state. She is having issues dealing with something, don't know what. She goes off into horrible tirades and I am taking her to therapy for it. I get scared that, even if a guy is willing to deal with that, that I have no right to ask him to deal with that. Meaning put up with it. Silly, I know.


The other one is a little odd. I have a strange form of psoriasis. I have very thin skin that reacts horribly to any skin irritations: rashes, poison ivy, bug bites...I scar horribly from it and have small wounds on me throughout the warmer months. I've grown used to it throughout my life. I can't do a thing about it. Even when I know a guy is into me, I get worried that this will someday play into the picture.
