Believe me, even if it may not seem like it, I am a very self-conscious person with my physical appearance, I really don't know how this happened but since I was little I received a lot of criticism and mockery and I grew up with this, however, there was a stage in which I thought I had overcome all this but the relationships I had came to accentuate those complexes and insecurities, there are people who simply knew how to make me feel like shit, I say this now with full confidence that I should not care about the opinion of those people, currently I have read a little about the subject of dysmorphia and I think it is really painful when the mind makes you see things that are not necessarily like that, just a few days ago I had one of those deep and uncomfortable but necessary conversations with one of my closest friends, the subject came up because he doubts that I have complexes with my appearance because I usually upload selfies, to which I with all the seriousness that deserves I answered that I do that as a way to try to overcome those complexes, because generally when I see one of my photos I only see the things that I do not like about myself and I would like to learn to focus on what I do like.
That being said, I must say that one of the things I didn't like about my physique before were my hands. My fingers are very long and this made me feel insecure because sometimes I had longer hands than people taller than me. I felt really bad when I saw that even a few of my male classmates had bigger hands than me, but as an adult I learned to really appreciate other people's hands. In fact, I think the first thing I see in a person that catches my attention are their hands, but the most ironic thing about all this is that as an adult I began to receive many compliments about my hands and my long fingers.
Lately I have turned what was once a weakness into one of my best attributes, without even doing it consciously I began to like my hands, therefore without realizing it I show them in almost all of my photos, it is perhaps the liking I have for hands in general what makes me make poses with my hands, but even so, I like mine, I know I am not the most careful person with them, I know I should apply lotions to take care of them but I am a little careless, although many women flatter me for having long natural nails, what I really like is the length of my fingers, I still can't believe that before I didn't like them at all and I felt ashamed of how my hands were, now I feel happy to see that I have something pretty for my taste, because my other complexes still persist.
