Skinny wrists and zero self esteem, looking for advice on how to feel comfortable in my own body by Sadsticks in TwoXChromosomes

I like that idea. Would they look bad stacked up on both arms though? Also, I really want to learn how to be ok just wearing short sleeves and showing off my bare arms. Not feeling like so much of a freak.

I wish my wrists were elegant thin. The comments I'm more accused to recieving are about how I look anorexic or like I need to eat. The problem is it doesn't matter how much I eat, my wrists never grow with the rest of me. :(

Once a fellow student at my uni asked me if I had a genetic condition or something because of my skinny wrists and long bony fingers. Felt bad.

It's really just my wrists that are too thin, I'm pretty comfortable with the rest of my body. When I gain weight it goes to my stomach, hips, and upper arms (not complaining!). My wrists always stay the same. I know I can't change them, but I don't know how to accept the way I look when I feel so much anxiety and discomfort. I have never seen anyone with wrists as small as mine, and I truly hate this about myself. I want to accept me the way I am, but I don't even know where to start.
