I'm jealous. Where do I find a guy like that!
Most are too scared to tell the truth cause they think all females will get pissed at them for saying anything other than - "It looks good dear".

Sounds like you snagged yourself a great husband!

I picked my body. I don't like it at all, and was hoping that eating healthier and exercising to lose weight would make me feel better. I don't at all. It doesn't matter what anyone says, even my boyfriend, I just hate how I look. Right now, I am only about 10 pounds over weight, though I still feel like I am way over weight. It's pretty depressing. Just a few days ago, I looked down at my thighs while I was laying in bed and realized they are just repulsive, which then caused me to become depressed.

Chilipepper - I can so totally relate! Right now I'm in a city where people I could get along with are about 10% or less of the population. I'm far too educated and socially liberal for people ... more
Thank you Jen! That means a lot to me. I am writing a EdenCafe article about it I hope you get time to read it.

I voted something from the past, but it's really just a lot of crap that's happened (and is happening) with my family. There are only a few people who know the complete story. None of it is my fault or anything like that, but it's still hard to talk about when it involves people so close.

I guess some pretty weird sexual fantasies fall into the 3rd category

Oh I definitely will!!! Feel free to post it when it's up in case I don't check out the blog. I love reading those articles but I find myself forgetting a lot.

I'd say past, then personality.

By the way, great poll.

Aw thanks. I figure this forum of all places is a safe place to share. Most of us are anonymous and the poll is even anonymous. But it helps to share sometimes and aids in healing and self-esteem building.

I have a really rough history when it comes to relationships and while I know I need to tell them, I am afraid of them doing the same thing. I hide it for a while till I feel like I can trust them and even then I only tell them part of it.

My body is the aspect of myself that I'm the most nervous to share. Probably because I'm just not happy with the shape its in, and I've been trying and working hard to change that about myself.

That's mine, too. I have panic attacks/anxiety, and it is so rare for anyone to actually understand it, no matter how much I try to explain.

I don't like sharing things about my past, like abuse and whatnot. It upsets me and I'd rather someone not know unless I felt they absolutely had to.

Mine is kind of a combination of my body and my past. I feel like if people see it it will be obvious what happened, and then I'll have to tell the story, so I avoid situations in which people might notice.

i'm not quite sure, but it's a fear of having my head ripped off by people on an intellectual basis, i realize they can't do anything damaging to me, but i'm still intimidated. Also, I get the idea that my personality is off putting, but I'm not sure why.

I am nervous about my overwhelming instinct to be the alpha in social situations. It bothers me because I realize I'm not listening nearly as much as I'm speaking, and that's not who I want to be. I work hard to ask more questions of people, and rarely reveal my opinions in groups unless I'm asked, or before I've asked the question to the group, and started a conversation of sharing. If the conversation leads away from the topic before I share my own thoughts, I try to bite my tongue and resist the urge to put in my two cents.

Body and past. Those are hard issues to discuss.

I would have voted other because there's nothing about myself that I'm nevous about sharing.

When people ask me what my dreams are it makes me feel embarrassed. I want to be a professional novelist, and this is one of those aspirations that people give you condescending looks for. It doesn't help that I'm very shy about my work, and don't like telling anyone about it until I feel it's close to done - I honestly prefer them to read it for themselves, and even then I beat myself up a lot because all I can notice are the flaws in what I've written.

I don't particularly like my personality. I try to hide just how annoying I really am!
