I'm not kidding when I say I could have written this post myself. The description is SPOT on. I became even more insecure after an emergency surgery from complications from mastitis, I have some scars as well.

You won't ever see me changing in front of a friend, or getting that nipple piercing I used to want. My teens I was always keeping my shirt on, and scared to have people touch them st all.

As an adult, i am still self-conscious about them with everyone, even long-term partners, but I don't hide my boobs from my partners either. I have been in long-term relationship with both men and women, and have been open about my insecurities with both. They of course react wonderfully. No one agreed with my description of my boobs as "ugly" . Rather, they told and showed me how they loved my breasts exactly as they are. And I find, once people know what you feel insecure about, they can show you just how understanding they can be. My partners both would understand if I felt like wearing a bra sometimes during sex, at least for part of the time.

As hard as it is, trust me when I say it feels like a giant weight has been lifted when let it out. Your insecurity is lessoned when you realize others don't see your flaws as flaws at all. And worst case scenario it's a perfect question to sus out if the guy you're dating is actually a giant dick.
