We all have them, those personal hang ups about ourselves. Perhaps you have dark circles under your eyes, perhaps you have a tendency to snort when you laugh, or perhaps you're Ginger.

I have a big head. It's something I've grown to live with over the years, but it doesn't stop it hurting when a random teen shouts the old favourite, "man 'ed!" at me. Sigh. MR EMO FACE.

So, this is for catharsis. Let the hang ups* flow and the healing** begin!


* insults
** laughter

As in Man Head. It makes no sense as I am I man (or so MrsP says :hat:) but, y'know, it's a bizarre Middlesbrough/Liverpool thing. I have no idea why both places I've lived have the same insult

Since you're all being wusses.

I have a pretty hairy back, like hairier than anyone else's I've ever seen. One of my mates used to always sing this at me, but change the lyrics to "Lew's bringing hairy back".

I go and get it waxed every now and again, but it grows back pretty quickly.

Mine's probably bigger. Had all kinds of frankenstein jokes made about me at school. Amusing the first time. Less so after the 5000th.

Big ears.
Crooked teeth.
Too tall.
Too thin.
Not muscly enough.
Hands sweat too much.

That do for starters?

:kiss: Thanks Russ.

Ok, I'll be specific.

Things I can't help.
* Size 8/9 feet. On a woman this don't a good thing.
* Under eye bags. No amount of make up seems to work on them.
* Stumpy little fingers. My old housemate used to refer to them as "stumpy joes" and they always leave little flappy bits when I wear gloves.
* Frizzy hair unless straightened within an inch of it's life.

Things I can help.
* The pies in my belly. Om nom nom.

I'm a gentle soul, but I look like a big rapey caveman.

Do try to forget about your hang-ups, folks. I'm not very good at that myself, but the people who are worth knowing never really give a shit about or notice the things you're dwelling on anyway, much less draw attention to them or attempt to make you feel bad about them. Everyone else can go take a flying fuck at a doughnut. As for name-calling, I used to have wee scrotes shout "wog 'ead" a lot in the late 90s, when I was just starting to grow my hair. Apparently this has no racial meaning whatsoever, and just refers to having a big 'ol mop. Scousers are weird.

Perhaps it would be healthier to talk about the things you like? I couldn't really say, although I seem to get quite a few compliments about my teeth.

Sigh. That just means my teeth are better looking than I am. Woe.

If we're talking good things, I'm really strong.

Like, I can carry like 12/13 bags of shopping at once. I do weights a little bit, but even when I haven't done them for ages I am really strong.

Not that good at doing punches or being punched without wanting to cry, but the best at carrying things.

I'm pretty sure this thread will teach us that everyone's got their hang ups. Some people reckon I have a big nose but I can't see it myself...

The good lord made us all different so I never worry about stuff. It helps that I'm pretty awesome and have a beautiful wife too... but still, don't sweat the small stuff!

I also have q big head by the way but I just laugh it off when people take the piss.

I do suffer from enormous belief in my own abilities, trust the confidence of others in those abilities, to lead from the front, knowing that my way is the true way and my unshakeable belief that I'm going to be right in the long term.

In short, God has a MaliA complex.

Hang ups are strange things, aren't they? To you, they seem to be the most noticeable thing about you but when you voice them, more than likely people go 'hmm, I hadn't noticed'

Some good advice here, most of which I live by. I'm a pretty secure and confident person, I have a lovely wife and chicks dig me (not that I notice those things) but I reckon I'll always have the berserk button about the size of my head.

Although physically there's loads of thing I would like to change about myself (lack of chin, big nose, thinning hair, clumsy as fuck etc) I don't get too hung up on them as I've always managed to get myself a decent other half through being a bit of a charmer (alcohol notwithstanding).

What I do get hung up on though is my constant obsession with everyone being better than me at stuff. I know there's a fair few things that I am good at but I never feel like I will ever be good enough at them and am always convinced someone else will walk in and go "Look at him he's shit - watch me". I've no actual confidence in the stuff I create - that writing I did for uptojump I hoped people would like but had people said "It's ok I suppose but I think you should have..." I would have gone back to it and thought that they were probably right.

I really wish I had supreme confidence in my own ability but it looks like I never will. Apparently Hugh Laurie, who can do pretty much anything really really fucking well, still suffers from anxiety about if he's good enough to be doing what he's doing so what chance a pleb from Hull like me?

This probably explains my leaderboard obsession as well - at least when trying to get first place on that friends leaderboard there is some actual evidence that I *might* be good at something. Shame it's something so utterly fucking useless in actual real life eh?

It probably doesn't help that we have some talented people on here too. If I were to take up painting, I'd never be as good as DBSnappa or LewieP's mum. If I took up photography, I wouldn't be as good as Zardoz, NervousPete etc. Although I do some PHP stuff, I won't be as good as Grim... I do some web design but I won't be as good as others on here too... etc.

I'm going for a 'jack of all some trades, master of none approach' instead. :)

We used to call people like DavPaz with large heads 'Bomb heads' at school. Like a bombs gone off in their head.

Well, a few of us did, and I still do.

Most of his head is in another dimension. We're only getting the tip of the iceberg.

Hmm, let's see.

Too tall.
Too thin.
Ears stick out too far.
One ear is very different in shape to the other.
One eye is always more closed than the other.
Horrible black circles under my eyes most days.
False tooth.
Penis too big.

I always dress mine with horizontally striped items, it gives the impression of it being less humongous. If you go for red and black stripes and let your pubes grow wild, hey presto! it's a little Dennis the Menace.
