every year at the start of summer i take a picture in my swim trunks to see how id look to other people at the pool. here are the pictures i took form 2021 to 2016. i never went shirtless in public until 2018 but now that i look at the 2017 and 2016 pictures i had no reason to be ashamed.growing up i was very skinny and even as i finally started putting on weight i still thought i looked too skinny and would not take my shirt off in public. during this time i was even still nerves wearing shorts too. in 2018 i went to the beach and took my shirt off in public for the first time. after this trip my body confidence started growing very fast. that fall i had a required pe class in college and forced myself to wear shorts to every class. i also got comfortable changing in the open locker room and even stripped nude to use the shower stalls a few times.doing this gave me enough confidence that the next year when i went to the beach i left my shirt in the car and walk a few miles down the beach without it so even if i got self conscious and wanted to put my shirt on i couldnt.im still not at a place where i can just put on shorts or take my shirt off without thinking about it but if i hype myself up first i can do it now and after a few minutes i relax and become completely comfortable. -- source link
