Hey Shannon - I love you on the show. I read the post by Alicia. I know its easier said than done but forget about her. I am in my thirties now but was alot like you in my teens and twenties. I was totally obsessed with my body and very sensitive to what others thought. The good thing is that the older you get...you dont really care. Dont get me wrong, you still wont like it for someone to say something bad about you but you just learn how to process it differently. Its kind of like being a teenager and having to have every hair in place and make up perfect just to make a midnight run to Walmart. Soon the older you get your lucky if your midnight run consists of you wearing make up at all and not substituting pajama pants for regular pants. Just like with the rude comments...yeah it does bother you that you dont have make up on and maybe feel like you might scare small children but you just handle it differently and it doesnt have such a huge impact on how you see yourself or who you are as a person.
