I think to a certain extent we all through with this feeling but in varying degrees. I totally get the chubby face. I have a rounded face and all attention goes to my cheeks. I used to hate people pinching or touching my cheeks. And there were no physical boundaries in I día. Once when I opened the door, a sales rep looked at me and asked if I had the mumps. I was so conscious of my face and the way I looked for the longest time. I’d suck my cheeks in for pictures only to then hate seeing myself in pictures.

I grew out of most of it and began to just accept myself with what I have. Maybe I make it worse by not dyeing my hair. Perhaps now that I look older than I am, people will quit focusing on my cheeks.
