As far as body type goes, as a (modestly experienced, to be fair) participant in the fetish community, there literally is someone out there who will idolize you. For the most part if people would trust try a little harder (go the extra step in your hygiene, get a cool haircut instead of just having hair, wear decent clothes that make you look flattering) they'd be more than accepted.

I have to say, I try decently enough. Too germaphobic to not go the extra step in hygene, and I spend too long on my hair as it is. Blame it on my perfectionist nature.

Of course...

you really do have to love yourself before anyone can love you

Is a particularly tough one... Self loathing is a great hobby of mine.

It is for a lot of people. The best way to get past it I've seen is to try and identify the little bits of your subconscious that keep you down. We all have repressed memories and negative voices that repeat constantly and it's painful to dig them up but it's so much better when you get to the other side, assuming you didn't kill yourself in the process.

It's all about insecurity. I myself am not at all insecure, as far as I can tell. Well, okay, admittedly we're all insecure to some extent, but I'm pretty accepting of myself. Sure, there are things about myself I do not like, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

I am however, going to do everything I can to improve the things I dislike about myself, and I think every one else should do the same: aspire to better themselves without losing themselves.

I'm very insecure, the trick is to put up a wall of egotistical bravado

**micahaphone**

Fafnir, lie down on the couch.

So, tell me about your mother...

What's the difference between a rock star and a normal person? Bingo

I will say that confidence topped by a layer of bravado is uber powerful.

She was a duck.

See THERE is your problem

**micahaphone**

And did this duck nag you, always "Quack this", or "Quack that"? This may be the underlying cause, but further investigation, preferably brain surgery, will be needed. I need to practice my brain surgery, so please say yes.

What about your father.

**FITZZ**

Did she perhaps...turn you into a newt???

He seems to have got better...

**micahaphone**

Did your father smell of Elderberries?

Beat me to it!

**Fafnir**

My father was a giraffe, thank you very much!

**micahaphone**

And did being compared to such a tall and magnificent beast give you an inferiority complex?

Or was it the spots?

Once again, brain surgery is needed.

**Fafnir**

Definetly the spots. My dad was a pretty short giraffe.

**FITZZ**

I believe I've located a photo depicting the strife Fafnir endured as a lad..

**Medium of Death**

My mother?

I'll tell you about my mother...

I feel sorry for anyone who is reading this and hasn't seen any of those films

True, but oddly enough..it's still on topic,Norman Bates clearly had a lot he didn't understand about the opposite gender.

**micahaphone**

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

You're making me look bad.

**Fafnir**

Maybe next time you should do your job properly then.

**micahaphone**

Well if you'd just agree to the brain surgery I could get rid of those pesky problems for you!

**Medium of Death**

Why won't you die!

Back on topic. Wimminz: how do they work?

**micahaphone**

I think they're fission powered. If only GLaDOS would affirm this...

**Fafnir**

But I havn't even gotten aquainted with a large Native American who just happens to be a fake mute.
