Physical Inferiority

[Zyntoxic]

hmmmm.....

well I am lucky (as a girl) that I'm somwhat naturally thin, that doesnt automatically mean I have a good body, but I'm not fat and therefore dont have to deal with the feeling of being fat

however I'm somtimes not happy that I dont have very big....well you know what, and how society is and everything

anyway overall Im pretty happy with myself, I mean most women hate somthing about their body, and 90% of them will tell you they are fat when they really arnt

hey, I'd switch places with you any day, I have unusually large ones and that is not fun... at all... my back hurts after half a day, I need to buy special made bras bacause the normals stores don't have my size, and the special stores take outrageous prices, and today's fashion for women is baggy and in my opinion unfeminine, if you have big breasts and put on a dress or shirt that isn't tight you look huge, and most of the stuff you'd find in stores such as H&M (the most common clothing store in sweden) are airy and and baggy and loose fitting.

big boobs suck, and you guys that like big boobs are sadists... kind of...argh!

I really do wish I was less curvy and more petite.



so physical inferiority... I'm ridiculously short, I know I'm not fat but I still think I am, I have scarring all over my legs and knees because I really liked to climb once in my life but I'm clumsy so I fell all the time, so I dislike showing my legs, I have strains/bursts scarrings all over my hips because I gained a huge ammount of weight once, those do not disappear when you lose weight... and I have excessive ammount of hairgrowth in my "downstairs" area and sensitive skin so I can't really shave with out it ending up looking even worse, the beach really isn't a place for me.

but I'm not depressing over my self since there is no point, I change the stuff I can and accept the thing I can't change.

In my case, I think that's a lot harder.

Nonsense. Like any woman will be able to tell you: chocolate is the answer. One bar a day and being thin goes away.

Ah, my friend, if only it were that simple. I do eat a bar of chocolate a day (roughly), and a couple of years ago I had McDonalds for breakfast every day for several months. If anything, I lost weight.

No, my bones are doomed to be fleshless and grotesque, I'm afraid.

accoarding to your profile you are like 19, it is not unusual for men to not gain weight until they are between 25-30 years old.
it would be very likely that if you don't keep an eye on you diet you are gonna swell up like a balloon at the age of 27

i'm not skinny, but i'm not fat. i'm overweight, and i hate it.

I've also had arthritis since I was fifteen (though undoubtedly of a different form), and flat feet. Now, when I say flat feet I don't just mean that I have a smaller arch than most people, I mean that I must actively curl the base of my foot and balance it to the side just to create any kind of arch and that walking on a flat surface without doing this will quickly worsen my arthritis (within hours). I used to have a hunched back as well; the artifact of a fair accident.
I dealt with the hunched back through exercises, physiotherapy, chiropractics and medicine and I compensate for the arthritis with regular exercise and various therapies as well. Nowadays I'm also in the habit of moving with a forced arch.
If I go without exercise for a few days then I will walk with a slight limp but usually no one notices a thing.
Used to have severe acne and terrible teeth as well. Bleach, bracers and various treatments and that's all good too.
Now I'm walking straight-backed and strong and getting women without trying. From many years spent shuffling about in sheer agony, smiling with closed lips and hiding my eyes from my own reflection I know how goddamned exhausting, enraging and debilitating a strong sense of physical inferiority can be - you can truly feel like dying.
Just wanted to explain that poor appearance is not an insurmountable challenge - and to talk to about myself, If i'm honest.

I myself have dealt with a sence of physical inferiority, both in a genital sence as a man, and after I suffered Arthritis at the age of 15 and had to give up weight lifting, and after my phsysical conditioning started to decline, I developed a lot of access fat and big man-tits.

So for both the female and male Escapist out there, I wanted to hear about your views and possible, personal experiences with it.

EDIT: yes I said man-tits, it's gross, and it Really lessens the value of self if you are a man.

I "suffered" Arthritis when I was 9. You can get over it, especially with modern medicine.
Also, you don't need to lift weights to stay in shape.
If you have "man tits" then you've done more than just stop lifting weights. You've probably stopped doing anything remotely physical. Don't worry, you can still fix it. It will take a while (maybe even a few years) but you can turn yourself into a guy who gets tits, as opposed to a guy who has them

 

[Distorted Stu]

I'd say im alright, pretty average indeed. A little overweight but i love teh beer!

 

[Xaio30]

I'm tall with a small pair of handles at my hips.
I guess my stamina could be better, but I'm fine with having to work a little harder for everything exhausting.

 

[GigaHz]

I dunno. I feel pretty sexy.

Though there is a good chance that if you ask around, only a few would agree with me.

Not that I'd care about their opinion anyway.

 

[Sandernista]

I'm perfect.

A little overweight but ruteva.

 

[Moochkin]

im about 6ft 4 and am pretty skinny, however i like how i am and am alot stronger than i look which was always fun at school also being the nerdy smart guy as well. got called alot of names but that didnt really bother me, only guy who ever started on me did it when my arm was in a cast...... Bad move on his part, ended up looking like hed been hit with a cheesegrater XD (backhand with cast-hurt but worth it)

no matter how you are if you are happy with yourself then nothing can really bother you, its when you show a sign of beleiving what people say about you when the trouble starts, as soon as they see they are affecting you then they will continue doing it, I dont mean as soon as somebody says something to go crazy on them but if you can make them beleive at least that it doesnt bother you then they will get bored, i speak from experiance on that.

 

[Legend of J]

I have problems with my lungs it can sometimes cause me to struggle to regain my breath and this hasen't stopped me from developing my strength and speed. I'm now a high contender in my local gym.

Just find your strengths and work on it.

 

[Rubucopter]

I'm pretty ok. Not too skinny but not fat, I guess athletic is a good way to describe it. As a girl, I'm quite happy with my chest. I have terrible knees, though and that killed my soccer career. Just gotta adapt and move on.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

The side-effects of anti-depressants led to me not being able to get it up at the appropriate times. Now that that's (hopefully) worn off, being worried about whether or not I'll be able to get it up prevents me from doing so. Yep, I'm so stressed about the idea of having sex that I can't. Stupid biology...
(This may have been more of a reason for my girlfriend breaking up with me than she'll admit... Actually, the fact that we're still talking to each other makes me think it was a pretty major reason.)

Right now I'm currently in the U.S Army taking a course to get my personal training certification. I'm also taking an experimental program with the 75th Ranger Regiment about Max effort training and the Ranger Athlete warrior program. Check it out. We are training people ranging from Elite rangers to brittle 85 year old men and girls who weight 85 pounds and getting them to deadlift 350lbs.

 

[Shadow flame master]

I'm a little skinny but I can eat alot if I wanted to(high metabolism). The only inferiority complex I have is my height. I'm roughly 5'2"-4" so whenever I'm in a group of people and I look around I cuss because I realize that I'm short. This quickly subsides when I stare at tits(I'm a little perverted).

 

[Dogstile]

Eh, i'm pretty average. Most of the people I know who aren't physically awesome make up for it in the humour department though. Just do that, you'll be fine

Edit:

Oh, if you were trying to say genital sense in the opening post, I wouldn't worry, i've found that most people don't really care and bigger can actually be a hassle.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I'm a total 100% wussy nerd type guy. If I were to end up in a fight, my first instinct would be either "find a weapon" or "KICK TO THE ENEMY NADS!!!"

I'm ok with that though. The only thing I want to improve on is my stamina. I don't really care for strong muscles.

 

[Icaruss]

I'm a hair under six feet and 178 pounds and in i guess decent shape,i run 3-4 miles six times a week at high eight low nine mins per mile pace and often do it shirtless(its damn hot in south florida) and no one laughs or points so theres that.I've been told by co-workers i should be a male striper (thats a compliment right?)I've a bit of excess saggy skin on my upper body though(used to be around 40 pounds heavier).Oh and i'm often told by women i'd look so handsome if i cut my hair(never).In short could be better could be worse.

 

[Gwarr]

I feel nice when I am among my friends , but I go into depression when my gym buddy comes with his 6 back . DAMN YOU LOWER AB FAT , DAMN YOU!

 

[Tiger King]

everyones a bit insecure about how they look.
im skinny it never once botherd me until i started secondry school and one guy for whatever reason (i belive its cus he learnt a new word and had to put it to use ha ha) started calling me anerexic.
its like something switched on in my brain, i suddunly grew deeply self concious of my weight. i started covering up and wearing extra under shirts to look bigger.
all because one guy thought he would poke fun of me!

i did come to terms with my weight eventualy after i left school. (thank you skinny indie fashion look for helping me out)
but it did destroy my confidence i felt so pathetic, i thought girls werent intrested but now realise i did unconciously push some, what may have been, advances from girls away with my negative "im not good enough for you attitude"

its crazy how one little word/thing from someone or a group of people can create a destructive mindset.
