♥Is it ok to be scared to wear?

Question

I'm currently in my teen years and I'm sorta shy to wear a bikni in front of everyone. How can i overcome this shyness thingy? lol

Answer 1

Why force yourself? In my opinion, it's perfectly natural to be self concious about wearing a bikini because it's practically like wearing your bra & panties in front of a bunch of strangers. There are lots of cute tankinis (more of a tank top than a bra top) and boy short sets that are really cute these days. One pieces are great too.

You'll have lots more fun if your comfortable with what you're wearing than trying to cover up stuff and being self concious. And in general a suit with a tank top or real straps vs a bra allows you to do a lot more than just sit on the sidelines and look cute. You can play volleyball, dive off the board (pool), reach, bend and PLAY without worrying about your tit bits popping out.

As you get older, you'll gain more self confidence AND you'll be confident in your decision to go against the grain and wear what you're comfortable in, rather than 'what everyone else is wearing'. Seriously, it's better to wear what you are comfortable and confident in and what suits your body, rather than going with the trends and having it not be flattering.

I refused to wear a bikini until I was 21, but I never had to worry about my top popping off when I was diving. ;)

Answer 2

i'm in my teens too (late teens but same diff lol). try going with something more covering than a bikini then working your way to that. or you could just beat the fad and wear what you are comfortable in. or you could have a wrap or whatever those things are that you tie around your waist. or you could work up to 'everyone' by wearing it in smaller settings first. just dont follow the fads if it makes you uncomfortable. good luck.

Answer 3

If you are not comfortable wearing a bikini then don't. I respect you for having some modesty and respect for yourself. It seems to be missing in a lot of young people today. You should not ever be ashamed of your body, but you do not need to go around showing it off to the whole world.

Answer 4

Try just wearing a conservative cut(no strings, no thong... like this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/Bikini_Model_Jassi_3.jpg) around your friends and family. Until you feel comfortable around them, you won't be confident in public.

Also, like someone said earlier, if you do a lot of athletic things around the pool, then you might want to stick with a tankini or one piece.

Try wearing swim shorts also- they might not cover the belly, but sometimes covering different skin is still covering skin.

If you still don't like bikinis, just wear one pieces or tankinis.

Answer 5

Personally, I hate bikinis. My stomach gets cold when I'm in the water. But if bikinis float your boat, go ahead! Just remind yourself that other girls wear them, too. And that some of them show a LOT more skin than yours.

Answer 6

one out of two things:
first, just do it, you might enjoy and the guys might like what they see

trying dancing in front of ppl, thats what helped overcome my shyness, now ill,.....okay, im not going to say...but, yah, jsut try something that you prob wouldnt do and that sould help conqer your shyness some, soon enough, you'll be ready for anything

Answer 7

You just have to wear it and overcome your fears. However, it's okay to wear a full piece swim suit and it does not have to be a bikini.
