I get it. The question is how/can others influence your self image? If 100 people on this board expressed a preference for your pussy over thin little pink ones, would it have any influence on your self image.
What if it were 1000 people, what if you heard on the news that women were having surgery to enlarge their lips. Would anything influence you or is it so innate that nothing would influence your self image.
Actually, interesting you should mention that. There was a popular (well kinda popular) show in England about 'designer vaginas'- and many many women were electing to have the surgery. I saw some of the results, they were stunning, based on my opinion, which differs from others.I thought about the surgery, same as I used to think about breast implants. I guess I reached a point of learning to accept myself as I am, though sometimes 1 negative comment can totally demolish the last 10 positive ones, why is that?
As for my self-image being influenced by others, the previous paragraph indicates of course it is to some degree. It takes a conscious effort on my part to overcome the feelings I experience when someone says something less than nice, I guess, about body features I was born with and can't/won't change. But I do believe most of that comes from somewhere inside me, which has been shaped by external influences in childhood/young adulthood as well as societal standards over the years and the media image we are shown of 'beautiful'.
LOL! Did I respond to your comment through all that verbosity, JMeister? I can ramble- I am sure I must talk in my sleep or at least 'sleep-type'!!:biggrin1:
