Original Reddit post

I’m a 21 and I’ve been really insecure about my body hair (legs and arms) for a long time. I have darker and thicker hair than most of the guys around me, and I hate the way it looks. Because of that, I’ve avoided situations where people would see my legs or arms for years. For example, I haven’t worn tshirts or shorts around people in nearing 10 years. I’ve missed out on going to the beach or the pool with friends because I’m too embarrassed about it. The frustrating part is that I want to do normal things like go to the beach or the pool with friends, but the insecurity stops me. Any polite advice perchance? submitted by /u/Jealous_Ad_8674
