When you're talking with girlfriends about insecurities and whatnot, do you ever find yourself putting you down while trying to comfort them?
Once my friend was saying she wished she had long thin arms like me and I responded by saying, "I hate my arms. They're like sticks. You have muscles I'd kill for." I hate when I do that because I'm fine with (most) of my body and it always turns into this competition of putting yourself down. Erm. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? |

You know, it's funny, but I never talk about insecurities with my friends. I don't know if it's because we don't have any insecurities (highly unlikely), or that we know each other well enough to be able to be comfortable about it.
Even when I do comfort someone about their insecurities, they're usually internal problems, nothing to do with appearance. I guess my friends just aren't that shallow. |

It's not really in that mean girl shallow way. It's just that this friend is built differently than all of her other friends (myself included) and I suppose it's hard to ignore. |
