Why do skinny girls feel modest?

Why do some skinny girls feel uneasy about wearing shorts and bathing suits in front of people?

well, if they have an eating disorder or are under weight, they are worried that people will sit and stare at them, making them feel un-easy, which is not a nice feeling...

I didn't know if you meant just thin girls or underweight girls... girls who are thin and slender enjoy showing off their figures in skirts, shorts, bikini's etc.

hope that answered your question.

Hey~ I think they feel insecure because they truly think they are fat. My best friend is skinny and exercises all the time. She has perfect legs and a perfect body, but she refuses to wear shorts or tank tops because she thinks she is gross. I know others who feel the same way. I have a decent body and I feel uncomfortable in shorts too.

One of the main reasons some skinny girls feels uneasy about wearing shorts and bathing suits is because there are so many jerks that have nothing better to do with their sad lives than to make fun of people. Skinny girls and skinny guys too, know they are the butt of many jokes and often have to hear ugly remarks from these jerks. Anybody that is reading this, it makes no difference what size or shape you are, giving into these jerks and letting them control your life is NOT the answer. Covering yourself up and spending your hot summers suffering in uncomfortable long pants is the wrong thing to do. People you have got a life to live, DON'T let nobody take one minute of it away from you. If you let the opinions of others get you down and keep you from doing the things you enjoy doing it will be a very big mistake, one that you will sincerely regret when you get older. The ones that enjoys making fun of others, these are not the kind of people you want for friends. Their opinions should not mean one thing in this world to you. It makes no difference how thin you are, it makes no difference how thin your legs are, when summer gets here put some shorts on and wear them everywhere you go. You have every right in this world to be comfortable. If anybody don't like it they don't have to look. If anybody stares at you, laughs at you, or makes any remarks you don't like, learn to ignore them , pretend they don't exist, you don't owe them nothing. Be sure to go swimming and enjoy yourself, wear your bathing suits proudly. I want everybody to think about something. There is not one second in your entire life that will ever stand still, time will never stop clicking away. Of course everybody knows that, but a lot of people do not fully understand it until they get older. A lot of you reading this are young, but you will get age on you in no time at all. You go ahead and enjoy life, and don't let nobody get you down. Don't let nobody take over your life. Good luck to everybody.

Some people don't feel confident wearing those clothes like me when I do wear those clothes like shorts, skirts , nice tops and that. They just stare like when I walk into a room like in college everyone stares, even on the bus, or walking down the street or in the car. Its like I stand out which I don't like which makes me uncomfortable. I'm not anorexic but I'm skinny but I eat just don't put the weight on. people have said I'm pretty but I don't feel it in a way.
