[QUOTE="Kikeena_, post: 1672124, member: 394629"] I understand your reluctance to tell people. There's the judgement even if it's not your fault. Then there's getting lots of unwanted advice about food exercise etc etc etc etc. I hate that too. It's ok to feel reluctant to tell others. As is so often said here, we're all different. You need to manage your life in a way that works for you. And once you've told them you can't untell them. You're only 20. Life does get easier as you get older and you get less self conscious and more assertive. But until then, it's ok to keep it secret. [/QUOTE]
