    There’s not going to be much I can say to reassure you on this one, but from a fellow tall somewhat flat chested lady, all is definitely not lost. Just like there are such wide varieties of body shapes for women, there is a massive variation in what men like, and eventually you’ll find one that likes you for you (if that’s what you want). Plus, bodies can change so much over time.

    Hey @bignosegirly0. I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling. It sounds like this is something that you're really upset with. I can hear that you're frustrated with how you look, especially with genetics as it's not something we can control ourselves. @independent_ makes valid points above.

    hey @bignosegirly0 🙂

    i’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. i know that nothing i say can instantly change how you feel about your body, but i hope that you know that you are not defined by unrealistic beauty standards or by what you think others expect from you. you are so much more than that!

    i get that it’s hard when you feel like you don’t fit into what society considers “ideal,” but the truth is, beauty is not one size fits all. what is seen as “desirable” changes all the time, and chasing that standard will never make you happy because it’s always shifting, but please know, you, just as you are, is enough.

    i know that when you’re feeling this low, it can be easy to spiral into thinking that your worth is tied to how you look or whether someone will love you, but i promise you, love isn’t about fitting a certain body type. the people who truly matter, the ones who will love you for you, won’t care about whether you have curves or not. they’ll care about who you are, how you make them feel, and the energy you bring into their life.

    you are so much more than the way you look, and the world is better with you in it. we’re always here for you - you’ve got this <3
