GAWD, please don't be one of "those" people. There are enough trashy people running around showing too much. Leave it to others' imagination!
You're not "shy," you have just been more mature and have good taste! *Don't change that!*
Self-confidence, self-respect, and a great personality are all you need, and self-confidence *does not* mean "showing off." Those who show off are usually the ones begging for approval because they lack confidence and self-respect!

I used to have a problem with being very shy. I hated even walking into a room alone, because when you do that, eyes follow you. I realized that my shyness was crippling me and ruining my life. I thought to myself, our minds are an awful lot like a computer. When we put negative programming into them, we get negative programming out. I thought to myself, this is really silly because it is 'my mind' and nobody elses! And certainly people that were worse looking than me by far, well they had such great egos. Like girls with their guts hanging out, they didn't mind walking around letting is all hang out and they were getting the guys too! They got them because they had a nice healthy ego. So I decided, yes I am shy, but nobody has to know it, so I acted as 'if'. As if I were not shy. I remembered to watch my posture. To walk with my head up and shoulders back and well, you get the idea. I practiced walking in a confident stride, to my destination. I thought to myself, if an actor can act a part, I can act a part too. So, I acted as if...and after awhile, I stopped worrying about it, and became more outgoing naturally and the shyness disappeared. So act as 'if' and the rest will follow.

Obviously your not your boasting about your body online maybe you are just surrounded by people who eigther are prettier then you or are shy to so you follow the heard, or maybe you used to be fat.. who knows.. just TRY whereing a bikini to the beach or public pool depending on where you live, and walk around in it for awhile get and ego boost from all the hott people, it should help some

why are you shy showing your body off? because you're not self-centered or needy for attention, or value your worth or how much people love you by how many of them look at you......... and that is AWESOME!!
too many needy people in this world.....like it's my job to give the the attention they need....and like it would be enough!
That's why I like nerdy guys, many of them are EXTREMELY hot with hot hot bods but never show it off. I'm in love with my daughter's math teach...tall, dorky, and smart....that is sooo HOT! I can guarantee he's got a hot bod under there..he plays basketball AND volleyball and you know those beach volleyball players!!!

I think its nice that you don't show off. People will notice you whether or not you show off. A little modesty is good.

You don't need to show off....show offs are self-centered anyways. Don't worry, you will find someone one day, and you can show it off to them.
