Possible trigger warning?
I hate talking about my insecurities, but I guess this is a good place to start since it's anonymous. I started taking kickboxing on my therapist's recommendation. Over the summer, most of the college girls were gone and I was used to the group of slightly older ladies.
Now all of the college girls are back and they're bringing their friends. And they're all gorgeous. I feel so insecure and androgynous around pretty girls. I'm very average and plain looking and of course I look disgusting when I exercise. But somehow they have the looks, style, and skills that I don't.
This is so stupid.

I hear you on this. It drives me crazy...especially when they essentially dress up to exercise. I have come to the realization that they do this for attention, and I am much more interested in bettering myself and my health. I don't wear makeup or tight clothes when I workout because I am practical. I am much more into my workout. And you know what? People know that. I have talked to a lot of different people about this...guys and girls...and even the guys say that they think it is ridiculous for girls to wear makeup to exercise. Believe it or not, people appreciate we, the disgusting, sweaty kickboxing monsters :-)
