I have hair on my face (coarse, black on my neck, chin, and slightly lighter on the cheeks and sideburns). I have light brown on my chest, black on my breasts and around my nipples, black on my stomach from the belly button down, and black on my arms. I am 75% Spanish, then some English and French. I luckily have not been teased. But I know, this ruins your self esteem. I usually don't look people in the eye unless they are specifically talking to me because I don't want to see if they're staring at my face and can see the 5'oclock shadow (which starts around 12pm). There are women who come to terms with this, and you'll see their posts on here, some who even enjoy shaving every morning with their hubbys. This I can't imagine. But I do try to talk myself up and tell myself that I am the INSIDE me, not the OUTSIDE me, and the inside me is what people love about me, and for whatever reason there are a lot of friends and family who love me (though I am too self-conscious about weight, hair, lack of experience to have a boyfriend). I actually used to be suicidal over this, but I haven't been for years now, so that right there is an improvement. I don't know, just my thoughts on the subject. |
