so I never wear anything close to being tight and showing my body shape. All my shirts are 2XL and my body type is I would say average normal size, like a M maybe and I only wear big cargo pants. Btw I'm a girl and i don't even know one other girl that's like me. Everyone shows legs, stomach, boobs and I just can't come to underatnd that.
I met up with a friend I haven't seen in a while and she said something like "No one will ever know what you look like, you're like a potato" I was like "What?" I didn't know that she was referring to my body and clothing style (she's also one of those girls that like dressing up and stuff) so I was like "oh, you mean that...well I kind of hate it" "hate it?" "No, not hate it, more like hate to show it" But all she said was "Body dysmorphic disorder" And surprise, surprise I also didn't know what that was. So when she told me I was like "No it's not like that" But I don't think she understood and te conversation whent another way after that. I actually don't really care what she thinks now, because I know I don't have that. Like, except for my face, I really like my body and it's shape. I "like" looking in the mirror before taking a shower, if that doesn't sound weird.
I guess I just really don't like people looking at me or like my feminine body or something like that? It just makes me sooo uncomfortable and I'll just never underatnd how girls be going out showing so much skin in public. I mean everyone knows people are gonna stare, regardless of gender.
I mean, next year I'll have prom, so it's not like I'm not looking forward to that or wanting to dress uo and wear a cute dress. I actually love that and I'm really looking forward to it, but that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

So I looked it up and I found nothing. All that comes up is this body disorder but I know no girl that's like me. I just think it's weird, like I can't be the only one. Maybe some of you know what I'm talking about? Maybe it's also just that I personally am not lie into all that girly stuff? Like not wearing make up, having a really different preference in men kind of...you know, all those things. But I know other girls that're like that as well, just this thing with the body, I feel like I'm the only one. Kinda weird.
Well, thanks for reading, if anyone did which would be a miracle

In my belief (religion, if you will), it is a must for girls to wear clothes that's not revealing. You might've seen muslim's woman portrayed in TV shows or movies, they wear these dark clothes to hide all their body parts except the eye for obvious reason. And it's like that for a reason, for men to stop staring altogether because (bear with me for now) according to our holy book, the sin is distributed unevenly between the staring men and the women stared at.

My point is, you're not the only one having that mindset. My mother has it, some huge part of muslim people have it, you're not alone.

The extremist from the same religion as I have might say 'You're guided, he's up there guiding you to the right track on this religion.' and I'd be lying if I didn't have that mindset, but that all comes down to your choice whether you're interested or not. You could take half of these wall of text in and remember that you're not the only one having this mindset before calling it a day, or be interested to this so called religion I speak of and search more of it.

It's your choice, hope that at least help to ease your mind.

it's really funny cause I know all this and I'm religious too. actually all my girl friends are too but those are the same ones that I'm talking about that do wear tighter clothes except some of them that wear hijab.
I actually wanted to leave this post without the religious part of it because even tho my mum dresses like that too she sometimes tells me to buy smaller sizes cause she just doesn't like the look of it.
so what I'm saying is, that even in this religion for me and my environment at least it doesn't matter too much (to a certain degree of course) and I would be allowed to dress a little more body showing if I wanted to, but I just don't want to, not because of a religious aspect you know ?
I hope I could express it kinda better now
and also thank you for your reply :)))

Ah that clears some stuff up, it's almost the same with my surroundings. I think it's down to your personal preference then, can't say anything much other than that.

It's like a win-win situation I think, you prefer being closed off and it is encouraged to close off.

yeah gotta agree with that. and thank you again for replying I really appreciate it ^^

Hi! I read your concerns and I'd like to put my opinion out on this as well! To be honest, I think you can just prefer anything you'd like. Just because it's not the norm doesn't mean you're weird. As for your friend, I'm sorry I'm not trying to be rude but I feel as if they didn't give you the chance to explain? As a girl who likes to both dress up and have preference in guy types of stuff I really just think it's your opinion. You like your body but you don't like to show it off and I think it's fine like that. I'm sorry if this is not what you were looking for and I apologize if this is all over the place haha. I'd also like to put out that I think it's fine even if it's only you. Everyone is special in their own way so it'd be fine if there aren't others like you. You can just be your own person :)

thank you too! It really makes me happy you shared your insights. It feels like someone actually cares and I really appreciate. it's totally what I was looking for, before I didn't know getting replies makes me so happy hahaha
also, yeah my friend is kind of like that idk, but not like it bothers me.
anyways, thanks for reading and taking your time and thanks for making me feel better!^^
