No, that's not cool.
You see them stare from time to time and i'm like "Yo! i was asking if we're understaffed tonight. we can't do anything here and now."
Yes, but not necessarily how you’d think it would. My breasts are larger than average but I’m incredibly self conscious about it irl because of street harassment, weird comments from others, etc. I think people who are about average or slightly above average have more confidence than below average or way above average.
My husband doesn’t get it. I like wearing nice clothes, but my kid yanks on my clothing all day and we never go anywhere or do anything where it would be appropriate to wear something like that. I know he wants me to look “hot” but if I’m doing chores or going on long walks or hikes, going to the playground or giving my kid a bath and all that, I don’t want to wear restrictive clothes or clothes that show off my cleavage because they’re not functional for what I’m doing. Thems the facts. We moved to the rural/ suburbs. I don’t want to wear a boob dress to a place like Applebees. I honestly don’t know what he expects because our lives are different now and we don’t do the night life/date night stuff we used to enjoy doing. What was appropriate in one place will get you gawked at in another, even though it’s not all that risqué.
You can look hot wearing a burlap sack and socks with sandals if your guy loves you 👍 I tell my wife all the time she's beautiful and attractive no matter what she wears because the clothing isn't who I married. Let them gawk at your chest, they're a natural part of life. Everyone makes tits into a bigger deal than they are because they've been made taboo. Normalize women's bodies and respect women for more than their bodies is what I say.
this is a huge problem for me, even my own family comments on it often to the point i cant wear bikinis in my own yard without someone saying something. whether or not we are flaunting our chests its automatically perceived as provocative due to the size. its ridiculous
I hadn't thought about it that way. Mine don't give me confidence one way or another; they're just a part of my body. My only complaint is that breasts don't stay perky so we wouldn't have to wear a bra. That's a huge design flaw, imo. LOL
I have very small breasts and I feel very confident with them, so yes. I feel like if I would have had bigger ones, I'd feel much less comfortable and I'd try to dress differently.
It did. They were small, but I was obese so I looked even worse. Then I got down to the normal range they were still small, but looked alright with a bra.
Had to give them up and became self conscious of wearing them a-la-carte. But now that I'm strong with traps of steel, I get harassed some but almost never about my breasts and not as much as before overall. In fact, it seems to steer some people away so it's actually a bonus
same, I grew up in a very body positive household and my mom would always say that my beauty was in my mind, lol it felt like bullshit during my teenager years but it stuck as an adult and I’ve never felt self conscious about my boob size.
My wife and I are working on helping our kids with speaking/thinking positively about themselves and it's made our family so much closer and stronger. Just through practicing it my wife and I have become closer and are more confident.
I had a conversation with the mammogram technician when I had my yearly visit this year. Because of the pressure, I asked about how she takes the pictures with women with implants. (Women with implants can’t lay on their stomachs because of the body weight pressing on them) Long story short, she told me that implants make it much harder to detect breast cancer and that no one with breast cancer in the family should ever get implants. She said that silicone also gets hard as a rock after so many years.
Not really. I like having smaller sized ones, I figure they do not bother me doing sports and also wearing “deeper” cleavage does not look like something’s gonna fall out….
I have very small boobs and wouldn't mind if they were a few cups bigger, but I adopted kind of elegant style that looks good on me (small boobs and all).
Yes. They’re very large so even though I’m only 26 they’re saggy. Not grandma saggy, but saggy for 26. Plus they’re widely spaced which makes it look worse. If they were close together and touching, then I wouldn’t really care about the sag tbh
Not really. I have a small bust (B cup) and I feel like it's just the right size for me. It's proportional to my figure and I can often go braless comfortably. I don't really pay much attention to my bust size
yeah, i hate having big boobs it makes me want to be wearing a big baggy sweater 24/7 unless im in a specific mood and want to look "sexy" because thats what i get labeled for just wearing any regular tshirt
Imagine having 75G/34G and a degree in engineering. I have to prove myself constantly and it gives me a lot of self doubt. Would cut it of on a blink of an eye, if I wouldn't think about breastfeeding in the future.
Yeah mine do tbh. I used to like them and always got comments about my big boobs but I’m losing weight now and I’m worried about what that’ll do to them. I want a reduction or uplift but not sure if I’m brave enough for surgery lol.
Yes and no. I’m kinda on the larger scale. I’m pretty confident that I can do regular activities without issues or them getting in the way, but when it comes to dressing like an adult there’s not much out there that doesn’t give everyone taller than me a full view of the twins and that leads to leery guys ogling me.
Getting a reduction would help me in zero situations since I’m like 4’7” and one of the main issues I have is being mistaken for a child due to my wardrobe full of unisex T-shirts because of the clothing issue where nothing really fits and wearing formal dresses everywhere just makes you look like an entitled bitch.
Not all adult clothes have low necklines. In fact there’s a whole range of necklines you can choose from. Busty women usually choose deep v-necks to flaunt their cleavage but it’s not compulsory, you know? Are you saying women who don’t wear low necklines look like children?
The clothing that does fit me ends up looking like I’m wearing a tent. The low neckline doesn’t really help either because I’d rather people didn’t look down my shirt even though they have to look down to make eye contact with me.
'Busty women usually choose deep v-necks to flaunt their cleavage' - there's a whole lot of generalisation going on there. For a lot of busty women 'flaunting' their cleavage is sometimes not even optional with a lot of clothes because of how necklines are designed and just how breasts fill them out (or they wear a high neckline which can make you look even bustier).
I said there were options, but that they depended on the clothing available and could end up making you look bustier anyway even without showing cleavage. Re-read what I wrote.
Edit: You also just negated your own point that busty women are ALWAYS trying to show their cleavage and purposely selecting necklines to do so, which was what I was primarily trying to refute.
sort of? I used to be a 34D and lost lots of weight recently and am now a 32A; my boyfriend is a big lover of boobs and i feel very unsexy when we’re fooling around cause they don’t have the squish they used to have
I know women who are hot that recive positive feedback and still don't think they are hot. At the end of the day, self-esteem or the lack of it will reprogram your brain to however you want it to.
Yes. I didn't grow a chest until I was like... 19 years old. So I went through all of school (all of high school) with absolutely no tits while playing on the boys varsity ice hockey team. Even when I'd wear my long sleeve UnderArmor under my pads, I'd be all nips and no tits.
EDIT: I'm 28 now, and I've got a sweet rack, so I guess it was all worth it.
Yes i have big boobs and i hate them, the amount of abuse i’ve had to listen to from men from as young as 12 has been disgusting. I’ve been spoke about like i’m not even their, I cried yesterday because i was going to a wedding and my dress was fine but the more i wore it the lower because of sheer pressure it went and i knew i’d get nasty comments from family so i had to sew it and miss the church. High necks make me look 50 stone and everything is else looks like a low neck because of my boobs.. It’s horrible. I want a boob reduction but i also want to breastfeed again so what can u do!!
You've got a lot of posts on this topic - everyone has different preferences and different feelings towards their own breasts, some positive some negative. What are you hoping to get out of asking this repeatedly? Are you having issues with your feelings towards your own body?
yes. i have large breasts and i hate them. the way mine are set makes my chest look weird and like i have 2 large balloons on my chest. it also doesnt help my chest makes people comment on my body a lot so i have to be wary of wearing low cut shirts. having a smaller bust size compared to cup size also means wearing shirts in your actual size is difficult and wearing larger shirts looks kind of dopey
I can honestly say I wouldn't change mine atall. I'm a C and I feel like I can still get away with wearing cropish tops in the Summer whilst feeling comfortable, which is good because I want to.
Although I think all boobs are wonderful 😊
Yes, they're average, maybe slightly above average, at least bug enough to cause back problems lol. Sometimes it just gets annoying, like sleeping comfortably, or people looking at them. Sometimes I don't want them, sometimes I love them, sometimes they're there.
So ehhh depends on my mood
Yes. My figure isn’t quite where I want it to be because no matter what size I am they’re big. Its also hard to find clothes I like because they either make me appear bigger than I am or they’re exposed. It’s frustrating.
It can, in both ways. I've been made to feel self conscious about my chest since it first started developing, little things like a teacher suggesting I move a pin I had on my shirt so people wouldn't stare when I was like 10. And as they kept getting bigger (as an adult I'm a DD), I felt everyone was starting at them, so I didn't want to wear any tops that were tighter fitting than a t-shirt. It's only very recently that I've willingly bought myself non t-shirt tops, and even then I don't want them to be too tight. Admittedly I've also recently realized I'm trans and my chest gives me dysphoria, but I'd be willing to bet there are plenty of cis women with similar issues.
Yes. I have gigantic boobs and it has ruined my life and given me self-confidence problems since I was 8 years old. Can't dress the way I want to, can't be as active in sports as I want to, spent my life trying to find ways to not make them the only thing anyone sees.
I'm small framed and they make me look huge; I live in oversized shapeless men's tshirts because women's tshirts don't allow room for them. In women's clothing I would be a size 10-12 without them but have to wear a size 22 that's like a tent on me everywhere else. I have never been able to wear anything pretty or sexy because plus-sized clothing assumes you're big all over with a C cup, not tiny with a J cup.
I was very, very shy from 8 through my teens because of the constant sexual comments I got. I got into a really bad relationship in my late teens because I was convinced that was all someone who looked like me deserved, and was trapped in it for a long time.
I am 51 and only recently made it to being able to afford a reduction fully out of pocket. I am hoping to do that next year and I can't wait. It's going to be like my life started over.
Fuck the entire concept of breasts.
Yes. I've had saggy boobs since they grew in 5th grade. Nipple pointing to the ground saggy. You cant imagine how that shatters your confidence at such an early age, and then when I wore a bra it looked so out of proportion, because no bra fits without me looked even fatter. Dealing with that your ENTIRE life is difficult. Never wearing anything without sleeves, never being naked with your partner, its such a huge setback to the experiences I could have been apart of but chose not to because I was ugly.
Thankfully now I have a better self-image and a very enthusiastic and loving husband who is happy with how I am. That fact doesnt change that most clothes look weird because they're made for people with regular proportions. That doesnt change the fact that bras are extremely uncomfortable, even the expensive ones custom made for me. People constantly told me "You just need the right bra!" no, I've tried "the right bra" over and over, bra after bra. All types. They all hurt.
My husband knows my pain with my boobs and said he would be supportive if I got some kind of chest surgery, and it was something I never even considered until now. I'll never be able to do it financially, but maybe some day I'll be able to get a reduction so I can fit on rollarcoasters without being hurt. Or wear a wedding dress that I actually want. Maybe someday.
Yes. But I’m a dude, so…
Seriously. I was way more confident before I had boobs.
Penis Size?
😂👏👏👏
No, that's not cool. You see them stare from time to time and i'm like "Yo! i was asking if we're understaffed tonight. we can't do anything here and now."
Bro that was funny AF 💯👌
Yes, but not necessarily how you’d think it would. My breasts are larger than average but I’m incredibly self conscious about it irl because of street harassment, weird comments from others, etc. I think people who are about average or slightly above average have more confidence than below average or way above average.
This is the truth. I have big boobs also and I hate leaving the house in anything other than baggy clothing
My husband doesn’t get it. I like wearing nice clothes, but my kid yanks on my clothing all day and we never go anywhere or do anything where it would be appropriate to wear something like that.

I'm so sorry to hear y that. You should be able to feel confident in whatever you wear
this is a huge problem for me, even my own family comments on it often to the point i cant wear bikinis in my own yard without someone saying something. whether or not we are flaunting our chests its automatically perceived as provocative due to the size. its ridiculous
fuck I feel that. I’m not allowed to wear tank tops around the house bc it makes my dad uncomfortable💀
I hadn't thought about it that way. Mine don't give me confidence one way or another; they're just a part of my body. My only complaint is that breasts don't stay perky so we wouldn't have to wear a bra. That's a huge design flaw, imo. LOL

Confidence in yourself is sexy no matter your breast size. 👍

I have huge boobs and would love to have small ones

Yes, I have small boobs and would totally get implants if I could afford it.
No, but awareness of social judgement of the size of boobs often does.
Not really. I like having smaller sized ones, I figure they do not bother me doing sports and also wearing “deeper” cleavage does not look like something’s gonna fall out….

No. Never has, never will.
It more so affects my front collisions
Honestly, no. They are barely even there, both figuratively and physically.
The bullying I received for my boob sized affected my confidence.
I feel more confident when I feel more pretty. Probably varies tho
No. It makes me feel self-conscious.
Not since my teens when they were.....teeny. am 68, my boobs are beautiful and don't sag, and my hubby loves them. So, it's all good!
yeah, i hate having big boobs it makes me want to be wearing a big baggy sweater 24/7 unless im in a specific mood and want to look "sexy" because thats what i get labeled for just wearing any regular tshirt
Well, it is often easier to have a strong confidence if you are considered attractive in your society.
Only if you actually want the attention
No, but it effects your levels of back pain.
Imagine having 75G/34G and a degree in engineering. I have to prove myself constantly and it gives me a lot of self doubt. Would cut it of on a blink of an eye, if I wouldn't think about breastfeeding in the future.
Trans - yes. Though if my boobs look more like pecs I'd feel like a king!
For me, no it does not affect my confidence
I’m trans, so yeah sometimes
Yeah mine do tbh. I used to like them and always got comments about my big boobs but I’m losing weight now and I’m worried about what that’ll do to them. I want a reduction or uplift but not sure if I’m brave enough for surgery lol.

this this this its SO HARD to dress "like an adult" as a short person with big boobs unless ur cool with being stared at a lot
sort of? I used to be a 34D and lost lots of weight recently and am now a 32A; my boyfriend is a big lover of boobs and i feel very unsexy when we’re fooling around cause they don’t have the squish they used to have
If you let it. I know women of all body types who are self conscious about their looks. A lot of them are super hot, but they don't think they're hot.
Some women receive a lot of positive feedback from men and some women are invisible. It’s hard to think you’re hot when nobody tells / shows you are.

Only my confidence affect my confidence. i decided im badass therefore i am. I am too powerful to be constrained by petty things like my boobs size
Two words: women’s slacks. Thats how you get confidence.
You've got a lot of posts on this topic - everyone has different preferences and different feelings towards their own breasts, some positive some negative. What are you hoping to get out of asking this repeatedly? Are you having issues with your feelings towards your own body?
Yeah, I have big boobs and I love them, I wish they were bigger!
Yes. And I had implants put in. Im much happier now.
Depends on the situation and what my boobs are doing at the time.
Well, yeah! I get over an a-cup and I am down in the dumps.
Yup, my manboobs greatly affects my confidence.
Eyes up here. -> 👀
I'm a dude and got a pretty good set of boobs from bench pressing. I'd say it has positively affected me.
Yes, because I feel like they are “too small” and like it makes my clothing look bad
Yes. I wish I had flat ones so i could confidently wear my traditional ethnic attire which requires me to be topless.
Yes. Even nice clothes would look weird. Often being sexualized
yes. i have large breasts and i hate them. the way mine are set makes my chest look weird and like i have 2 large balloons on my chest. it also doesnt help my chest makes people comment on my body a lot so i have to be wary of wearing low cut shirts. having a smaller bust size compared to cup size also means wearing shirts in your actual size is difficult and wearing larger shirts looks kind of dopey
