Ty for your words. That's the thing that concerns me about that, I really feel right about my image, my shame is about what others may think (a thing that I do have to accept I can't control)
It really isn’t about how any of us view you. It’s about how you view you. Because, in the end, you can’t control how others view you. But, you totally have a right to look and appear as you wish, without having to justify it to others. As I recently told a friend, you’re going to spend a lot of time with yourself, so you may as well like who you’re spending time with.
If your body hair causes you anxiety, and you don’t like it, remove it. The “beauty” (curse?) about body hair is that it’ll grow back. So, if you find that you don’t like how you feel or look with it removed, it’ll be back in time. If you love the smooth look, then there you go. And nothing’s set in stone. People evolve and that’s fine too. What you like now probably won’t be what you like 15, 20 years from now. And that’s totally cool.
In the end, though, you can never please everyone. There will be some that like body hair, some that don’t, some that are neutral. So you’ve got to do what’s going to make you happy. So … what would make you happy? That’s your answer.
For what it’s worth, you’ll look sexy regardless of the body hair. You can’t go wrong — it’s just about making yourself happy.
