Here is something people seem to go through. Here is my self image problems: I know I'm ugly. I cannot change that. I also have 100's of physical battle scars. There's two on my face everyone can see (one on chin makes it look like I have a double chin and another on my upper left cheek). Then there are scars on my head where my hair grows. There's about a dozen scars there. So the way my hair grows differs from most people. Than there are the scars on my hands and the rest of my arms which is where most of my scars are located. Anyone that sees me in short sleeves can see them. You may not see the actual scars unless you examine my arms but you can see the indentations or ''potholes'' as I call them. Then there's the rest of my scars. From head to feet, I have scars. Lots of them. You could map them out. I've got scars on chest, back, stomach, really big scars on thighs, hips, knees, shins, calves, an ear, and finally two big scars that completely cover the tops of my feet.
Every time I used to tell (I don't anymore) people about my scars, they'd say something like, ''Chicks dig scars'' I have found that to be as true as the Easter Bunny. There are many girls here that have lots of tattoos. I have more scars then they have tattoos.
So the scars are my main self image issue. Then there's my height. Had I not been abused I'd be taller. Height has plagued me from 17 (when I escaped) till now. It'll plague me for life just like my scars.
Lastly, there's one more issue that plagues me but this one was partly my fault. This one has a huge impact on my life however I can hide this issue. I can also fix this issue soon. So you don't need to know.
So there are my 3 main self image issues. Physical scars, height, and one more. These plague me on a daily basis. I however try not to focus on them. But they effect just about every part of my daily life so it is hard. FYI, to the guys that think chicks dig scars, they don't. If they did I would have been married long time ago.
I have other self image issues but they're so minor I don't even think of them most of the time.
I could author a book on just my scars.
