I am 24 years old and I still avoid swimming pools because of my body image issues. I feel ashamed every time someone looks at me without a shirt on

Body image

Body Positivity

In this social media's era , we are so obsessed with taking good pics and posting it even we don't look like the picture we clicked, from the context of we are is I'm referring to me.... I knew it but i realised it yesterday when someone called me a kiddo , though I'm a graduate but i look like 16- 17 years girl... At that moment, I felt very imbarassing.... 
       We all are diplomatic , firstly we judge someone and then next moment we sympathise  those  people....   I hate it when someone says that "love youself" my foot, how can I ?? When you are the who always tell ohh you are so thin , you are this or that...

3am Thoughts

Is anyone here who in actual relates to skinny shamming and is constantly insecure about her body and how she looks? If it’s affecting you as well and you really want to gain some weight, then let’s connect and we can be accountability partners so that way we will be motivated to work out.

I have been trying really hard to shed weight. And even after that, I still get comments like "dude if you are so strong, try to lift her body weight" or something like "we need help to lift her" and all these people who said mean stuff like this, are the ones who have not seen me before and how much work I have done. 
It hurts a little that no matter what you do and how much you do, you will never be good enough for people. 
So just do you :)

"Shame gets displaced from person to person. Your parents’ shame about
their body, becomes your body-image difficulties. Your grandparents’
shame around their status, becomes your compulsion to collect ever higher￾ranking successes. But you were not put here to carry the shame of others.
Before you were burdened with the weight of it, you were your own. It’s
time you returned to yourself."

Does anyone feel really insecure about their bodies? It's so difficult to get intimate with anyone. I always fear they're gonna hate me for the way my body looks. 

Body Dysmorphia

What do we do if our partner body shame us?

Relationships

I have never had body image issues, atleast I wasnt conscious about them. But, recently There have been so many times that i look at myself and i feel disgusted.  I dont like what i see and i try to avoid seeing myself altogether. I guess this is because i have been getting comments that i dont look my age. I guess that was fine before and i didnt give two shits about who thought i was attractive enough or not. But now, this kind of behaviour hurts. I mean, when you are 24, you do eventually want to be seen as attractive and even writing this makes me cringe inwards but i dont think what i am saying is unreasonable and unrealistic. People really should keep their personal preferences to themselves.
