It's impossible for me to take pride in or be ashamed of anything that is a part of me unless I've put in some sort of effort to attain or maintain it. My penis length and girth are merely average, but I know that I am a very attentive lover who takes the time to learn and master what satisfies my partner. I'm proud of being able to give pleasure and don't feel a need to compare myself to other men.
Worth mentioning, it is sometimes unfortunate that certain attributes elicit mockery and attempts at shaming the individual who possesses them. Due to outside pressure, people can be made to feel ashamed over what wouldn't otherwise trouble them, often leading to lowered self esteem, the consequences of which can leak into other areas of that person's life.
For instance, I stand at approximately 5'7" and happen to be on the thin side. I was teased throughout grade school for my smaller physique, consistently growing slower than my classmates. The teasing was only worsened by my natural reservedness and disinterest in retaliation, instead causing me to become even more withdrawn, directly leading to anxiety in social situations, and thus setting me back in my development of personal relationships.
While I was largely able to overcome the anxiety and feel comfortable with my physical attributes, I can still be very brusque and untactful in social interactions. I had a few close friends throughout the years and some girlfriends, but to this day, I feel as though I'm somewhat behind and have a lot of catching up to do.
