Now when you think body confidence
it is likely that females come into your thoughts but I just want other males
and closed minded people to know that males can face these body confidence
issues. As someone going to be a teacher one day, body positivity is a message
that needs to be pushed across the curriculum as well as all mental health.
Anxiety needs to be spoken about and confidence needs to thrive. I am so
passionate as this has affected me for many years!
I can’t even lie when I say the
whole holiday, I worried about my appearance and even refused to take my top
off at the poolside. I normally deal fine with this issue however I have
developed stretch marks on my upper arms and feel like I’m on a whole new level
of insecurity!
On the cruise, all the guys my age
were toned af and that made me feel worse. I hid my body and only managed to
get into the pool... 2 or 3 times the full week. This shouldn’t have been the
case and I should have just gone for it but I’ve hit a new level of
embarrassment. I just feel sad. I know I can just go on a diet and lose some
weight but even the thought of that depresses me.
The week at the hotel did not solve
this problem. Most people were Germans. All Germans boys seemed to be skinny
af. This made me even worse. I had people looking at me already because I was
speaking English and I just couldn’t do it. I have sat with my top on and only
taken it off once over the two days I’ve been here. I just can’t do it! I wish
I could just have an urge of confidence but that doesn’t seem to be happening.
Thanks for Reading Today!
