I wanna dance, but people will laugh

Okay - I really want to dance in front of people and stuff because it's a lot of fun! I like dancing to those cool techno songs - because those you shuffle to and stuff and it's a lot of fun.

Now, I don't want to dance in front of people because I am a bit overweight... it's not very noticeable, but still I know people laugh at me whilst I'm dancing just because I'm a bit chubby, you know?

I'm not like obese. I'm around 185 lbs, and I'm 5'4'' so yeah as you can tell im pretty fat.

The question here though is it normal that I am self conscious to dance because I'm afraid people will laugh due to my weight o___o

      Was going to say that exact same thing.

      Who cares if they laugh? You will be having fun.

    You shouldn't care so much about what other people think. Even if they did laugh, it doesn't matter as long as you were having fun. And if you're that concerned about you're weight, dancing is probably a great idea.

    Who cares if they laugh if you are having fun? People live their lives based on other's reactions way too often.

    "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
    Love like you'll never be hurt,
    Sing like there's nobody listening,
    And live like it's heaven on earth."

    Come on just dance. I have randomly in a cafeteria grabbed my best friend Josey and started waltzing and spinning her. It made her laugh out of happiness. It cheers people up to see people dancing. If you want to dance then dance your heart out. And you don't sound overweight but if you take up dancing you can get a more athletic build. I used to have no muscles and now I can actually see my biceps.

    The ones you think are judging you are probably too pussy to get out there and dance.

    I dance all the time even when I'm in a store and I hear a song on the radio. I'm not picture perfect. I just don't care because it's fun. Go on and shake your groove thing yeah yeah!!

    Haha Tori I'm in the same boat. But anyway I think that you should just go for it. I'm 5"4 also so I imagine that your weight would make you look a little chubby but not fat like you said so don't worry. Just flaunt the things that you like about your body! Be confident about yourself and have fun!!

    Confidence is what is attractive about someone. If you go out and dance like no one is watching, and have fun, people WILL notice you, but for the right reasons. And the ones that laugh? They do so because they are jealous because of THEIR lack of confidence. :)

    So dance, love! :)

    I get embarressed also. Not because of weight issues but because I look like I am having some sort of an attack! I just can't dance. But I still get out there when the beat of the music beckons me.

    Go have fun. Take a look around the dance floor. Not everyone is perfect in weight or moves.
