Is it normal to take what people say too seriously?
I have a habit of taking what people say about me wayyy too seriously and dwelling on it for a long time. For example my ex said I had ugly thighs and needed to do something about them. He was deployed at the time and asked me to send pictures of myself,- nothing inappropriate, just pictures. I wore a shirt he bought me and some nice, correctly fitting, stylish, jeans and that was his only comment. After that all he could do was complain about my appearance,- from Iraq. I ended up dumping him, but I still can't stand looking at my thighs. I notice everything 'wrong' with them even though I know I have worse looking aspects of my appearance to worry about. (Trust me, they've been pointed out as well.) Summer promises to be super hot this year, and I'd like to wear shorts,- but I can't help but feel like I'd just gross everybody around me out. Is it normal to hang on to stuff like this -this- seriously?
