Shame? I haven't experienced real shame since I accidentally killed my favourite cat with a tainted flea treatment from China.
That's shame. I think I've only experienced it about 3 times in my life.
The tummy jiggle is a mild physical nuisance that I want to remove. Nothing more.
I bet if I showed you a pic you'd say "EW! I take it all back. Chop that shit off!" and you'd start hollering for eyebleach. lol
"Do you do housework, sys? Or do you consider that a job for the weaker sex?"
Of course. Self sufficiency is a huge thing with me.
"It's only an insecurity if it's purely in the mind. My mum-tum is a physical nuisance."
It's a mental blight brought upon by shame and self doubt of a certain aspect about yourself, physical or mental.
"Insecure? plz. It's just like housework. Garbage out, good health in."
No, it's more like pushing the trash down farther.
"And what money? I said IF I had money. lol"
I'm not saying you are I'm referring to a scenario if you had plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery is disgusting, and I think people should accept the way they look. If they are that self hating, and feel they MUST change their bodies or looks, work with it, or alter it, naturally. Happiness is never something that remains continuous, and if changing their looks make them 'happy', they are some severely weak minded people. That level of vanity makes for a miserable person anyway.
I would never change anything about myself. I was born thins way, and 'stuck' with me until I die. I decided that wasn't that much of a problem, there are far worst issues that need fixing (like my car).
"I'm curious to know, what do you all think of synthetically altering ones appearance?"
I'm all for it, even if I haven't participated in it yet.
"Do you think makeup is a way of deceit? Why/why not?"
I like it when it's in the name of accenting what's already there and art, a stylistic choice. Once it becomes a mask however it can become a form of weakness.
"Do you think plastic surgery is immoral? Why/why not?"
I don't really care if other people feel like fucking up their faces irreparably, as it's not influencing me into considering it myself. My only thing against it is how it can change their ability to display expressions.
"Where do you draw the line between ok and ridiculous when it comes to appearance alterations?"
I don't. If they want to look ridiculous, having them show that to me in advance saves time. Regardless of their choice it's a form of self-expression.
"Do you think people should just live with what they got, or do you believe whatever makes someone happy is alright?"
How someone chooses to appear shows aspects of who they are. As someone who enjoys delving into that sort of thing, I figure why not? The only time it's haunting is when they show less expression, but I'd just have to find ways around that comfort zone.
"If given the chance, would you change anything about your appearance?"
Not with the means to do so we have now anyway.

by Thrill KillIn my opinion, letting what other people do affect you so much is a weakness in itself.
How?
Because he's letting other people's actions control his emotions. He's not choosing to feel disgust because he enjoys it. He's only feeling that way because other people are making him feel that way. And that, to me, is weakness.
Letting others control you emotionally is weak.
