That's unfortunate and all, but maybe you could... uh... stop?
Seriously, though, I've been insecure for as long as I can remember because of a few things I can't change. First of all, I'm gay, which doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is to me. I went to Catholic school for 13 years and grew up with really emotionally abusive brothers who made me feel very ashamed. I've always been anxious that I may not be masculine enough (although I'm not very flamboyant), and am constantly worried that people will be able to tell that I'm gay.
Secondly, I'm 5'5", and as it has already been mentioned, it isn't easy. From birth you constantly hear the phrase 'tall, dark, and handsome.' It's the first one!! Again, I feel like that strips me of masculinity some how. When I'm around 'normal' guys, I feel so out-of-place, like I'm always being judged.
Finally, I'm always insecure about my face. I know I'm not 'ugly,' or even unattractive, but I know I won't be winning any beauty contests. I feel like people don't see me as sexual. They always say I'm 'so cute,' but never 'hot,' and it would be nice to feel like an attractive man rather than an adorable boy. I'm 27 years old...
Anyway, that's my rant. Thanks for listening...
