I hate my cheekbones, loads of people say it is a nice feature on me but I think it makes me look like a smackhead. Perhaps not helped by the fact that I am 6'4 and about 155lbs.
Looking at my dad (5'10" and ~200lbs) I know I will fill out soon enough so I will be happy but until then I suppose I could have something more to worry about that skin that is not perfect.

I wasn't always popular as a kid so I am thick skinned which is good because my old boss said I looked like an aids-ed up junkie rentboy. Which I am not.

Oh and I am going grey at age 19 just like my dad did. Thanks man, would be better if my hair wasn't otherwise super dark brown.

No. I like grey hair. :) (When I'm old, mine will either be silver or completely white and it will be awesome and I will chase children with a cane and call them whippersnappers.)

I've only really become comfortable with myself in the past few years. I'm taller than most girls (and boys, sometimes), I'm chubby, I'm extremely awkward and bump into things all the time, and I bruise and scar easily. But really, I'm quite happy with my body. It's curvy, though I am chubby, I'm still healthy, my skin has improved greatly since high school, so I like my complexion more. Also, it's nice being tall, because this prevented people in high school from picking on me too much and I always have a great view at concerts. And if I'm anything like my mom, I will stay relatively young looking until my 30s, which will rock.

But yes, my metabolism sucks, so I've been exercising more and trying to eat better. I know I'll never be skinny (no woman in my family is skinny, we're all thick), but I know I can get myself to a point so I don't have to worry about it in the long run. Also, I've been breaking out of my tomboyish exterior in the past few years and wearing more feminine clothing, which helps a lot.

I am a goddamn sexual tyrannosaur.

Grey hair is ace. When I was younger I badly wanted to dye my hair perfectly white.

I generally regard my body as an unpleasant adversary. I used to be a fat kid (a fact nobody believes now I'm a scrawny vegan emo bastard) and therefore wore very baggy clothing, even after I lost weight. It might have been the nineties and that gave me an excuse, but baggy clothes are a terrible idea if you're big or skinny. They accentuate it just as much if not more than tight clothing, so that didn't help with having a sensible idea of my own body. These days I have no idea what I look like. Or rather, I do have an idea but I'm also aware that I have a sideshow quality mind and therefore I am not to be trusted on such matters. This leads me to place an unfortunate amount of stock in what other people say about my appearance. Not an ideal situation by any means but they're probably more reliable than I am.

I've had a lot of trouble coming to terms with how I look over the years. Being on the recieving end of a lot of bullying made it all the more difficult, but I already went over this in the last incarnation of this thread. Over the past year, not much has changed physique-wise, but I've definitely become a lot more confident as a person, and really have given up with caring about how I look, just trying to make the most of what I have, which is always my boobs. I'm always going to be very body-conscious, but I tend to push it to the back of my mind and just get on with my life. I figure, if I want to wear a dress or a bikini, I shouldn't stop myself because I'm worried that people are going to be as vicious to me as they used to be, so I'll wear that dress, those heels, that swimsuit, whatever. So regardless of the fact that I still can't lose weight, I'm still a lot bigger than I'd really like to be, and that sometimes finding clothes I like that fit is a real mission, I'm in a much better place than I was. I'm relying on my personality to meet girls, like always, but to be honest no matter how I look, my personality will always be better in my eyes. I'm quite proud of who I am on the inside.
