An insecurity of mine is my teeth. I grew up a family of 7 so we didn’t have extra money to pay for cosmetics.. I have crooked teeth and it’s probably my biggest flaw I see in myself. I’m a bubbly and confident person overall but when it comes to my smile or laugh it’s different. I love smiling and being happy but I feel myself limiting to showing my true smile or covering my mouth due to my teeth. I want to be beautiful and confident and it makes me sad that I’m essentially changing my happiness for that. I’m older and financial stable enough to get something like Invisalign but I’m scared because my teeth are a unique characteristic of mine and people admire my confidence with them. But I hate when people around me try to talk bad about other people’s teeth and then say to me “but your teeth are different” “that doesn’t apply to you” “you look pretty with them” I know they’re just saying it because I’m right there and they realized what they said. It takes a toll on me and I feel like I can’t be with attractive men because I’m not up to par. I sent in images and a request to get Invisalign and I’m praying they’re able to fix my teeth. I just want to be happy with my smile and be able to laugh and smile when I want and not feel completely hideous
