Happily Small

I have always been self conscious about my breast. It all started in the 3rd grade. All the girls were developing way more than I was (They were atleast B-cups). They would always pick and tease but I only laughed it off. I still wore training bras up until the 7th or 8th grade.

Whenever I went bra shopping with my mother I chose bras that had the most padding and push up to make me feel better. It deeply bothered me that everyone had breast way bigger than mine. My cousin and I started developing around the same age, now she is a Double-D and I'm still an A.

My self conscious caused me to have low self esteem in my relationships with males. I never let any of them come into contact with my breast.

It wasn't until 6 months ago did I start to regain my confidence. My current boyfriend now would always get on me for putting my breast down. I was so afraid that he would be attracted to bigger breast women but he would always remind me that I'm the only one he'll ever be attracted to. Today, he makes me feel so beautiful.

Even though, confidence starts with self others can be put into place to make your recognize your self worth.
