sometime during middle school i started sucking in my gut all the time to look skinnier. probably one of the worst decisions i ever made - i think it constricted my breathing, made me slightly more anxious all the time, and possibly reduced access to some emotions

starting to undo that tension and wow it makes my belly stick out a lot. also reminds me that around the same time i started hunching my shoulders to de-emphasize my man-boobs 😅 that tension is probably gonna come up sooner or later too

might be a sexual thing actually, i really have no idea, seems hard to disentangle those two things actually (don't want to be perceived as female/don't want to be perceived as sexual outside of the context of a relationship)

for me at least part of it was like "if i don't hunch my shoulders people are gonna see my nips through my shirts 😬"

yeah tru i also worry about this but i somehow thought it was more ok for dudes
i wear sports bras a lot to minimize boobage but they def show nips vs. girly bras that are like MY BOOBS ARE HERE but have padding so 🤷🤷🤷🤷

maybe nips are like pantylines-- no one cares except really anal people desperate to judge someone, and dudes are like "that's hot, actually" if they notice at all
