Anxiety!!!?!?!?!?

[Blazerboy | Noah]

i'm not going to lie, i used to be self conscious because i am hairy af, but then i just stopped caring, because in reality, no one really cares what people look like in a bathing suit. you see tons of large people, hairy people, skinny people, short people, all types of people in swimsuits at water parks or public pools, and no one cares what they look like.

even people that you know won't really care, and if they do tease you, they respect you if you at least at like you don't care.

or, you should get new friends, because friends who make fun of you for what you look like probably aren't for you.

also, if you want to take the stupid "friendly" option, if they are making fun of you, you can tell them straight up that you don't like it.

Where a swim shirt! Oh, then everyone will think you are trying to cover something...

If I have to do something in front of other people that I don't want to do, I try to remember that their opinion is worthless, and down the road, I won't have to care about what they think

Ok, so this sounds like me everytime I go to the pool. What I do is, just stay in the water as long as possible and when you get out, stay wrapped up in a towel because you are "cold" xD

Another option is to quit MCSG and get fit.

I feel the same way sometimes when it comes to swimming actually. I'm 14 almost 15 and most of my friends have already grown a lot. Some are above 6 feet and well built. I love swimming and they don't judge me, but there are others around the pool that do and then make fun of me. There are two things you can do...

1. Firstly, you have to go and you are going to go. When you get there, rip your shirt off and get straight in the water. Confidence! It may be hard for you, but people in our society don't make fun of confidence. Chances are a group of kids invite you over to play a game or something!
2. Swim for a short while then sit with a towel wrapped around you. Then go again 5-7,minutes, and sit out until it's time to go. Repeat that process. I know it's weird and anti-social, but it suits what you are scared of. Also, do number 1. You will feel better about yourself.

If you need anything feel free to PM me.

I'm always here to help!

Also read duckluv321's post. That is the right answer.

I mean don't use money as an excuse for why you cant get advice from a professional, better than asking people on a minecraft forum.

Don't worry about it. I used to be the exact same, but as time went on I ended up not caring about what others thought of me. So just go out there and have fun c:
