Since the beginning of high school, I've been pretty self conscious about a lot of things about myself. I always used to be a little paranoid about my looks until recently but I still do have something I think about constantly.
I'm 22 now and the one thing that still stands out in the back of my mind is my teeth. My girlfriend says I have a nice smile and she has a phenomenally beautiful set of teeth (along with many other excellent features
) I don't have really bad teeth but I'm really self conscious when it comes to it. Everything from talking to someone from getting my picture taken makes me feel uncomfortable. I've been seriously thinking about getting a set of braces (just a phone call away literally) to help straighten them out and I guess help me feel better about it.
I feel bad because when I get my picture taken, usually I won't smile or will have the closed mouth smirk going. If the picture is up close, then I for sure won't smile. I'm getting professional pictures taken this weekend with my gf and I know I want them to look good but always seeing my teeth staring back at me in the picture is something that always bothers me.
I guess I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion is on this topic. Anyone share this feeling at all or have any advice? Thanks for reading.
