Being tall. I'm 5'8 and about a year ago I HATED it. It made me so insecure and all I wanted to be was short and tiny. Now I've learned to embrace it and I've realized tall can be sexy (: you've have what you have for a reason so the best thing to do is work with what you got and rock it, because its yours (:

Don't fret, Sweet. You're a beautiful girl. I can relate to Lauren A. The worst place to shop for clothes is Target. Damn Target has front and back mirrors which put my cellulite on full display, not to mention the harsh lighting. I was freaking out that night. My boyfriend was so upset that I was upset, he told me all night now beautiful I was. It's hard in the summer because I feel embarrassed to wear shorts. Skirts hide my cellulite more, but I can't wear the cute little shorts everyone else gets to wear. It's definitely motivation to eat healthier, but I also think it's about acceptance and loving myself for who I am, not for my outer appearance. Easier said than done, I know :(
What really has helped me is this forum, and reading about other women with the same problem. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one, and that's always reassuring.

I have a bump in my nose (thanks, dad), small boobs, I'm really short, as well as some scars on my right thigh. I think I've just learned to live with all of it. I used to want surgery to "fix" the bump in my nose and get a larger chest, but I'm just kind of like "eh, whatever" now. I'd rather spend the money for those surgeries to buy makeup. ;) I usually wear heels, not to be taller (although it is nice), but because I love heels! As for my scars, I'm planning on putting a beautiful tattoo there as soon as I can, but for now it's not a big issue.

I take comfort in the fact that most people are so worried about their own imperfections that they don't even notice mine. :) Kind deeds and kind words are more memorable than the number of pimples or wrinkles that you have! :D.

This is so sweet because I also have scarring on my face. It is the reason why I would never dare ask a makeup artist at a makeup counter for help because I knew they would end up close to my face and then look at my scars. I learned to live with it and recently went to the doctors and got recommended medicine to diminish them. This article is very sweet because it always feels nice to know you are not alone and no one is truly perfect.

I struggle everyday with scars. My legs, wrists, and arms are covered with them and I hate letting people see them. I wear sweaters and jeans pretty much everyday because of them and I finch whenever someone gets near me because of them. :/ they make me feel so ugly. but I'm slowly learning to deal with them until they fade more.

Ever since I had children I've always been self conscious of my now "fuller frame". I am no longer a size 6. I tried dieting, excersing and tanning to make myself happy again. Even though I've lost some, I still always thought it wasn't good enough. I finally started seeing women just like me who were so confident. They loved their curvy bodies! I guess I got so wrapped up in what society says is beautiful that I didn't realize that I am my own kind of beautiful. I'm a size 12 and proud of it. I follow some beautiful women on YouTube and other sites that help build my confidence. I no longer want to lose weight. I just care about being healthy and staying active. I am finally happy again and have other women to thank for it. And remember, beauty comes in ALL shapes and sizes. We are all beautiful and don't let anyone tell you any different. There's no such thing as "perfect".

I was a model. I was used to be near perfect, had no skin problema ever. Until I had my first child and I was 25. My face and body, even legs were covered with cystic acne. I thought my life was over. I am still dealing with mild version of the problem after 2 rounds of accuyanr but long time ago I just realised something: it doesn't matter! I am still hot:D. And I am still occationally modelling despite the photoshop they have to do on my scarred skin, despite all perfect much younger girls there on market. My husband thinks I just go more beautiful over time. I have constant attention whenever I go out from both male an female even if texture of my skin is really bad, pitted an rolling scars. I have reached point where I'm not afraid to even point out my problem and explain if there happens to be someone like me but very unconcious about their look. Simple fact is people don't even see. We see our problems, others really don't. So at the end, so what if I am scarface. I am still me. In my unice way!

No one is perfect and our imperfections makes us unique. This is what I believe.
I chose to accept mine as there is really little I can do to make it go away. When I was 15 and had issues with menstrual cycle I was given wrong dose of man hormones to 'help' - so wrong and unsuitable for 15 year old not only my cycles got even worse but I was left with aftermath of growing facial hair like man have. I have to shave it off everyday and damage to my chin is getting worse. Ufff...I said it, I don't talk about it much. For years I thought my imperfection destroyed my life (in a sense it did but I can't live like this), was embarassing enough that people would see it straight away when looking at me, no matter what I did to cover it, and laugh. I was concious when leaving home, preffered to stay in, etc. but then I realise no one was looking and laughing and it was just in my head. I am more happy for it and now I can even leave home without BB Cream, foundation or concealer.

I always ask myself... what is perfect? I mean, perfect is just a worst and perfect is what is most common by people. An imperfection is an imperfection because people call it that way. today.. skinny is hot... ;) I have a beyonce figure, I hate it!! its because I'm not skinny.. but in africa people think you are really beautiful when you are a little bigger, its perfection for them, imperfection for here.. its just an example. Love who you are, you can not be perfect without a little imperfection ;)

In Japan they say: the imperfection makes the perfection ;) I love that way of thinking.

Love reading these comments- I think everyone does deal with imperfections, that's life. I have two huge scars, and I mean HUGE- one starts at the back of my neck and goes down to my butt and the other starts on the front of my body and wraps around my side to my back (I had scoliosis surgery a long time ago). When I was in high school I was so self conscious about them- I didn't want them to show at all. I looked for swim suits, prom dresses, and clothes to cover them (which was really hard bc all the cute stuff had open backs and everyone wore bikinis etc). It wasnt until I was a freshman in college that I decided I didn't care about my scars and I embraced them. I finally bought the bikinis and backless shirts etc. I'm not sure how I overcame it honestly- I know my mom helped me because we just kept saying who cares about the scars? I just want to be as healthy as possible and take care of myself. I just try to be a good/ loving person and realize that life's too short to dwell on things I can't control!

Accepting your flaws is a huge step in gaining confidence! I have cellulite, stretch marks, burn scars, keloid scars etc. even though I'm still self conscious, I try not to let them inhibit me from doing/wearing what I like!

I have scars on my arms and wrists because I self-harmed for years when I was younger. I used to be extremely self-conscious about them and would keep them covered at all times, but that gets tedious, not to mention warm! thanks to vitamin e oil they're a bit better now, but I'm not really bothered by them all. scars are a pretty common problem, as is self-harm, and neither of those are things I need to be ashamed of or worried about.

We all believe in the word flaw but it's not a flaw if we all share similar stories, I'm not sure if any one would understand what I mean but it took years for me to come to terms with it for myself and I believe in self beauty and project it out ward.I no it sucks to feel like your not beautiful or something is wrong but you do what you can to make you feel better and no that your not alone ;-) I always joke hey that's what chemists are for, they make the magic lol.

I have struggled with a few issues through out my life. First of all was my eyes. I have a cosmetic defect of my iris called a coloboma and I just can't hide that. I had to accept it and it was so hard. I was relentlessly picked on all through our my school years, but now I can't imagine myself without it. I love it. I also struggle with cellulite and I've accepted it but I do go to the gym to be proactive about it and not let it get out of hand and going to the gym also makes me feel great about myself and my body. :) I also have a large scar on my knee buts it's never bothered me because its part of my story :) all these things make me who I am and why would anyone want to feel ashamed for who they are?
