Making an exhibition of oneself!

TheCatWoman

Being English I've come to realise that possibly one of the worst things, is being told not to make an exhibition of yourself. I wonder how many of us have taken that early lesson so much to heart that it's become a reason for low self confidence in general, poor body confidence and general low self esteem? Or am I the only one ever suffered from being tld this?

  • I hate to stand out, I avoid having photos taken and to an extent looking at my reflection. In the past I've been chosen from a large audience to partake in a panto, I still cringe at the memory, I did it as refusing would have brought greater attention.

    I was forced to take part in team sports as a kid, even though I'm poorly coordinated and of course getting picked last always bolsters your self confidence.

    You are really not alone on this one.

    I really don't feel like a well rounded individual.
