Should I get a breast reduction?
(Please read all of it before commenting so you have an idea of where I’m coming from) I want a breast reduction soo bad. My boobs were the first thing I was insecure about, first thing I was made fun of for, and the first thing I wanted to change about myself. I was 7 when they first started growing. A few years earlier than the other girls. So I got my mom to buy me tight sports bras to hide them.
Boobs always made me uncomfortable because of how they’re looked at in society. The way guys act about boobs in movies, the jokes people make about how guys “just can’t resist” them. My uncles would nudge each other and my guy cousins when they see a girl with big tits at a restaurant or something.
All I knew them as was these things that were viewed so disgustingly, then one day I had these things attached to my body. I felt like all men looked at me that way. They weren’t huge yet. About the size of my fist. By the age of 10 I had so many older men comment on my body. I felt insecure even around the men in my family.
As I teen I hated them even more!! I literally wanted to chop them off with a knife. I missed out on so much as a teen. I avoided wearing bathing suits. It was impossible to find one that covered them completely. My friends used to go swimming at the public pools on Fridays. I pretended I don’t like swimming and pretended to be a germaphobe who doesn’t like swimming in the same pool as other people.
I didn’t wanna wear a bathing suit cause I didn’t want my boobs seen and I didn’t want to wear a shirt in the pool cause I was even more afraid of people KNOWING that I’m insecure.
Now I’m in my 20s I should be happy I have the ideal female body I’m slim and have not huge but fairly large breasts. Well almost ideal, I just have no ass lol but I don’t really care and I wonder if I did have a big butt if I would feel the same way about that as I do my boobs.
Anyway, I hate it. I feel like walking porno no Matter what I wear. I only wear baggy t shirts and hoodies.
I used to be so insecure about myself but now I’m so confident about everything about me… except my tits. Now im confident enough to wear a bathing suit!!! It’s a large sports bra that covers my full boobs with a regular bra under it cause they’re so heavy they’ll fall out, and swim shorts. And I feel confident in that. Other girls often tell me I need to be more confident cause I don’t like wearing bikinis. I just don’t like them that doesn’t mean I’m not confident!! I’m completely confident in what I do wear thanks.
BUT the problem with my bathing suit, even though it completely covers the boobs, you can still tell I have pretty big boobs. I feel like when someone looks at me that’s the first thing they see.
Not only that but the weight of them gives me shoulder pain. BUT they’re not HUGE but they are big so idk if I would even qualify for a breast reduction. Also they’re saggy.
I talked to a lot of women in my life about wanting a breast reduction and they’re responses are “WHAT WHY??” “Why would you want a breast REDUCTION? Get them BIGGER” “noo don’t do that!!! Men like big boobs” and I’m just like “yeah exactly that’s kinda the POINT” why does it matter if frickin men like big boobs? I was not born to satisfy stupid men!!!
