Afraid to show my body?

Personally I think you should flaunt it. Don't be embarrassed about it. You should go out and be proud of it. When people say things about just tell them that they're just jealous. I'd rather look different than look like everybody else. You should wear nice bright colors that compliment your skin tone. I would go as far as wearing a bikini in a nice bright summer color. Have fun!!!

PLEASE READ:

Hiya, I dont have white skin (i am of olive complexion) so i cant relate to you on that level but i hope i can help you some way. I think that showing that your not confidant with your skin will make you feel like you stand out even more. I think that everyones skin tone makes individuals beautiful. In the Victorian times really white skin was seen as thee most beautiful tone and women often tried to make them selfs whiter!. All though you feel Self-conscious and dont necessary like the colour of your skin that doesn't mean to say that others think the same as you. You are an individual and you should love the fact that you stand out. I think that its a shame that u are staying in all the time. A lot of gurls - including me are Self Conscious about their body at some point but, ask yourself- do you really ever see girls looking Self Conscious or notice something about others that could make them Self Conscious? Not really. this is because they hide this behind confidence and this is what you need to do. Try at first buy wearing shorts that suit the colour of your skin. Start out with little things and you soon will gore the confidence to wear what ever you want.

Confidence is the key

HopE This Helps x

I'm exactly the same...but don't let it bother you. Pale is coming back into fashion...and besides, you only get one body, learn to recognise the good things about it and stop worrying about being pale. If you start showing off your legs more maybe they won't be so pale after a while.

you shouldn't have to be embarassed because of how pale you are. it's ridiculous these days how much pressure is put on us girls to look a certain way. personally, i hate when i see girls who are so tanned, they don't even look there own race anymore! lol. i think being pale is better looking than being orange personally. u shouldn't be ashamed, i know its easier said then done....but if people want to talk about/laugh at you, then obviously they have a problem. i wouldnt worry...just go have fun and screw the other people who cant accept you for who you are. i bet your gorgeous! embrace it. best of luck :)

If you have very fair Type 1 skin, then it's very wise of you to not be out in the sun. All you'll ever do is burn and that increases the risk of skin problems later on. All that tanning is about is the body's attempt to protect itself from the sun's UV that would damage lower layers in the skin. That's all.

Best thing to do is not try to compare yourself to someone who has Type 3 or Type 4 skin and can tan easily. It's sorta like being 5'4" and believing you "should be" 6' tall... pointless.

honey, who cares what other people think just go down to that beach and bake undder the sun and let`s see how pale u r then. oh! and if ur friends r making jokes like that then maybe their not the right friends for u. (juuuuusssstttt saaaayyyyiiiinnnn). but goodluck though! :) and remember u r who u r and if someone doesn`t like it, ask them if they wanna fix it since their worried about it.

you just accept that you re pale i mean so am i i am pale all the time

who cares if your pale...dont let that stop ya from having a good time.
