    Sorry, I know this can be a really touchy subject. Sometimes when I wear somewhat-revealing things (not crazy revealing, just stuff like v-necks or shortish shorts) I get this physically sick feeling that's really hard to describe but it makes me feel helpless and disgusting and there's nothing I can do about it. It usually happens in public situations, sometimes even when I'm alone, but it's not all the time, just occasionally. I don't think this is full-on intense dysphoria, or at all, but I've gotten it since I was young and it's horrible. I was wondering if any of you guys have felt the same thing or know what it might be. Thank you so much in advance for sharing thoughts or stories because I understand it might trigger bad feelings or memories.
