I registered for my courses for next semester earlier this week & I was feeling enthusiastic about them at first, but now I really am not feeling great. I'm registered for 7 classes & I've never taken more than 5 up until this point. All in all, not feeling very good about college & I'm trying to snap out of that mindset.

When I was younger I had a mole under my arm, like right on the arm pit and I wasn't really worried about it until puberty and hair started growing everywhere. It became really hard to shave/wax/cut the hairs that would spring up out of the mole and I avoided wearing singlets out in public (which is not great in an Aussie summer) so I ended up getting it removed and now I'm all good.

it used to be really severe for me. i basically hated being who i was. don't know why this always occurs in the teenage years but before that i never worried about what i looked like. then i started to really bring myself down. i was in a really bad way for a long, long time about just everything. now though, i've gotten this confidence that has really brought me up. i don't let other people bother me or upset me, or cause me to think negatively about myself anymore. i've left that stage and now i'm really confident in myself.

i used to be self conscious of my height because i was so tall growing up. im 6'1 and 16 now and i dont have a problem with it anymore even tho a lot of my friends are short which makes me feel out of place sometimes but its not bad

i always am started like 3 years ago after i got rejected by someone i liked...for some reason i turned it against my appearance and have always since watched my weight and it just never went away.

i dont know whens the last time i even ate "junk" food. i dont eat anything with sugar unless its fruit so cookies/cakes and all that are out of the question. a lot of junk food automatically is out of the question anyway since ive been vegan for 3 years too.

i also read whatever is in the ingredients 100% of the time and i have a good idea of how many calories i eat a day.

i used to be worse before though, i used to weigh and count my calories to the T, sometimes hitting only 700 cals/day.
ive gotten better tho, i ignore the pressure of being thin and accept myself more.

i have a loving boyfriend too which makes me feel better.

Nyandash, I can pay off your fire hydrant!
 
I've always known that I'll be skinny for years to come.

When your 14 and you only weigh 105 pounds, yeah, something's wrong with me.

At least I'm stronger than most of the other skinny teens at my age/school.

I can bench-press a 90 pound weight, which is a bit surprising.

I saw this one guy who was skinny as me and could barely lift a 40 pounder. (I must be lucky)

I'm not happy about any of my body, I typically wear clothes that don't highlight my torso area so I live in baggy things or if it's black cause that's like the magic colour

For my face I feel ok when wearing makeup but without it I'll avoid talking or looking at people

Very. I'm 60kg and I'm 5'6, so I guess that isn't too overweight, and I don't have much fat on me (it's kinda more muscle in my arms), but I'm thicc lol.

Just checked and no, 60kg isn't overweight for a 5'6 male of my body stature.
Nice.

While I dislike my stick figure and large boobs, I wonder to myself how many other women are currently undergoing breast enlargement or would die to have bigger boobs. We constantly seem to want what we don't have which has what taught me to appreciate and love my boobies. I was blessed with them and I'm not going to change them.

They are a huge pain within many areas; bras are incredibly difficult to shop for. Before, when I used to be a C cup during my teens I would just shop at Primark and get a couple of bras at a very reasonable price. Now, I have no option but to turn to online shopping which I absolutely hate. It means I cannot try the bra on before buying it so I can't be positive whether I will be satisfied. Along with this, bras at sizes D+ are always going to be expensive, it's a clear no brainer.

Since I have narrow shoulders and thus a small back, my body cannot handle a lot of the weight from my chest at all. My back is constantly in pain and my god is it bad during my time of the month.

To answer the question, my overall answer is I'm comfortable with who I am and as I get older I care less and less about how I look.

I am honestly right there with you on the chest stuff... I wear a DDD/G and it's so hard to find bras that fit right, and that don't cost an arm and a leg. -_- Everyone is so jealous of them and I'm just like PLEASE TAKE THEM! If only it were that easy, once I am older and have the kids I want and stuff I am 100% getting a reduction because the back pain and everything is not worth it.

I don't think women realize how much of a struggle they are unless you have them yourself. I dread to have kids for that reason, if they're too big now, how big will they be when I do have children and want to breast feed?

I can't even lay flat down on my stomach without them hurting, I'm always having to lay on my side. :/

i hate myself in so many ways lol so yes im self conscious. i’ve been avoiding certain types of clothing for years because of insecurities hdddjsjzjjd
i’ve always felt gross and like a waste of space and feeling big (eithr fat or just ?????? taller or broader thn other people or soemthing??) makes me want to kms haha. i’ve struggled a lot with my body image and i still do but i try to be kind to myself and not let it affect my eating habits but it’s hard.
i wore short shorts once at home in 4th or 5th grade and it made me want to die bc i hted myself so much so lol im not doing that again like Ever. i never wear shorts or light colorwd pants either bc i hate myself. I live in big and formless sweaters bc they hide many of my insecurities well enough.

my teeth are messed up, i need braces but i have put off getting them so i dislike that about myself too. my skin and hair often looks bad. i think i just look weird (like w my face and especially when i smile) and i hate seeing pictures of myself because they remind me of how much i hate myself l m a o

i constantly find things i hate about my body or appearance which sucks lol but i have giant issues w self esteem, feelings of self worth and all that and hating the way i look is just one part of it all. yikes, i should probably work on this a bit more but it’s difficult bc i hate myself so much and im afraid that others will hate me if i admit that to them? lollll idk

Nyan, you miht have to wait a bit, I got other visiotrs over but I'll be over as fast as possible.
 
Has the ending of a TV show/movie/book series ever made you upset? For me, yes. The end of the Harry Potter books/movies meant the end of my childhood.
When I finished watching Psycho IV, it meant the end Anthony Perkins' era as Norman Bates and for some reason, it just really upset me because he was the PERFECT Norman.
The ending of Bates Motel made me cry and gave me a gut punch because it was such a good show and idk I just fell in love with it. It meant the end of the cast together; it meant the end of me anticipating the new seasons. It still makes me so sad to know that it's over. I have to keep up with all of the actors and actresses careers to fill the void Bates Motel left me lmao.
The end of The 5th Wave book series made me upset because it was such an adventure for me and I enjoyed every lovin' minute of it.
The end of The Maze Runner series (excluding the prequels) made me sad because I'd never loved a book series as much apart from Harry Potter and I grew so attached to the characters.
The ending of ASoUE book series made me sad and gave me a gut punch because you never find out what happened to the Baudelaires or any of the characters for that matter. They could've all died (and it hints at that in Letters To Beatrice), or they could have all lived. Sad stuff. I'm hoping the Netflix series doesn't tell you what happens because I love that it's ambiguous.
Yep, that's me. I get upset pretty easily because I get more attached to fictional characters than real people lol.

One series that I loved that ended was Breaking Bad. I still consider the show to be one of the best things to ever be put on television lol

Luckily there's a prequel show for it right now and it's just as good (albeit a bit slower paced)!

YES, there are definitely endings to book series that made me really upset. One was the Maximum Ride series, but I wasn't upset that it was ending or that I didn't know what was happening. I was upset because the ending was the absolute worst ending there could ever possibly be. I mean seriously, it's ATLA movie bad, if not worse, and everyone knows how awful that movie was.
Let me just rant about this book for a second.
I'll admit, I adored this series as a fourth grader with its strong and independent female main character (Max) and its great storyline. Winged kids who try to fight against scientists and the government while trying to fulfill their destiny to save the world and maintaining their secret identity? Who wouldn't want to read that? So anyway, my older sister read the books and had the whole series up to the one that was recently out during that time, so I read them all in a month or so. The first three books were great! There was amazing fighting scenes, humor, and plot twists that I never expected. I couldn't ask for more.
And then I read the fourth book, which when everything goes downhill. To sum that book up, it was eh. It was boring and slow, and the author created a female character, who was absolutely useless, just to create tensions between the main ship. I mean relationship wise, I guess it helped the ship between the main characters, but it did nothing to progress the storyline.
The fifth book was a little better, but there was clear dynamic shift in Max. She went from a total kicka** character to being solely focused on Fang, her love interest. Every single of priorities changed, and without a good reason. She just went completely OCC. Who needs to save the world when you have a boy toy to hang out with?
I should had seen the ships and abandoned ship, but I was devoted fan who wanted to finish the series no matter how much it hurts. God, it just got so much worse. The next two books were solely focused on creating tension between Max and Fang while the other kids were casted off to the side. One character did manage to some spotlight, but only to be painted as an evil and devious six year old who acted more than of an adult than Max. Also too much happened in such little time that you couldn't progress what really happened. It was just a mess to be honest.
And then the "supposedly" last book. It was supposed to be the final battle between Max and the evil scientists to stop them from killing 98% of the world. There were plot twists that really didn't make sense at all, but there were exciting parts that gave me some hope, I'll admit. And then it came to the final scene when Max was trying to save the world. At this point, I'm on the edge of my seat, finally waiting for this book series to redeem itself so I can say that reading it wasn't a total waste of time. It's just Max vs the whole world, the author couldn't mess it up anymore than he already has. And then Max "dies".
He killed off the main character, whom the series is named after and is still supposed to save the whole world. But it's okay! In the epilogue, it's revealed that Max somehow survived a tsunami. Oh, but 98% of the population died instead, but who cares when everyone's beloved golden girl is still alive?
Yeah, so Max's whole purpose in this entire series, which was to save the world from this one event and hyped up until this point, failed. Everyone dies except 2% of the population, which just happens includes her flock and the bad guys. I was pissed. It was a godawful ending, and I should had seen it coming, but I was pissed.
And just when things couldn't get worse, the author comes out with another book, the "true ending" of the series: Maximum Ride Forever. And my dumb butt actually read it, and literally cried at how stupid and unnecessary it was. To sum it all up, it was just another book to confirm and test Max's relationship with Fang, who died and then supposedly was revived through LITERALLY the Frankenstein method, as every other member of the flock was "hunted" down and "killed". (It turned out that they're all still alive, but it was just annoying at the time that while Max was busy worrying about Fang, literal kids were being hunted down.) It was just so stupid and ridiculous and did not do the first three books justice.
So yeah, that ending upset me a lot.
TLDR: don't read the Maximum Ride series. You'll just be disappointed and end up with less brain cells.

Can it be upset as in that I didn't like it (and not that I thought it was upsetting as in if someone dies or something/like Mother 3?)

Because if so, I really wanted to like the Legend of Korra (especially season 1) but the ending was just no...the writing was so lazy. It was just an awful bag of garbage. They had to go and give Amon a boohoo tragic story, when he worked so well as just a faceless and powerful leader. They didn't need to humanize him. His lack of humanity is what made him so powerful. He was supposed to be a representation of the non-benders segregation.

And as soon as the non-bender revolution finds out he's a bender, they all just leave their cause behind? And the segregation is swept under the rug? I'm sorry, that's not how it happens. There were no strives to equalize the benders and non-benders.

Then they flip-flop with a terrible in your face love triangle that no one wanted. And in the end, Korra learns nothing and Aang's spirt comes to her somehow (because she's so spiritual and in-tune with everything/even though she shows no signs of development) and gets all her bending back. Everyone who was with me, as we watched it for the first time, cheered as she went into the Avatar state...and all I'm thinking was 'when is this going to be over? This is horrible writing...'

Oh geez USA...that sounds just as awful as Korra and its love triangle.

Most people are really unhappy about getting to the end of a good series or book, but I'm the opposite. I hate the feeling of having it unfinished just lingering about me lmfao, I feel really accomplished and relieved when I finally finish something

Unless you're talking about the actual content? Then yeah, I have cried and **** before
