I have scars / bumps on my legs that I am self conscious about. I wanted to wear a dress to a party in mid summer. Two months of extreme effort to moisturize and not scratch and I thought they looked pretty darn good ... For me at least. My niece asked why I had polka dots on my legs within two minutes of greeting me. Kids just be spittin' truth. So I cover my legs.
Who cares? I know you do, but don't, nobody else is going to look at your legs and think anything other than it's a set of legs. Be comfortable in your own skin, it's yours and if anyone has a problem with it, you know they're just a tiny hateful piece of shit that's jealous of you.
Agree. I know it’s hard, but the best thing you can do is respond “that’s just the way my body is!” It will make her more confident with her natural flaws seeing someone she loves being confident with theirs.
