Afraid to show my face in when dressed

MariaA · Post by **MariaA** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 3:10 pm

For some reason one of my big fears in dressing up was that someone was going to see my face. When I have posted pictures in the forum I've always made sure that theywere from the back, the side or my face was smudged so nobody would know who the real me was. I got may comments from the other girls telling me that it would be nice if they could see the the rest of my body. Well, this is to report to you that I finally gather enough courage and confidence to post a picture showing my face. It feels like a great accomplishment for me. I want to thant all of you for all the support you have giving me in this scary process

.
Love
Maria

Maria, like you, I also have a fear of being founded out when dressed. When at home, I close all the blinds and first before dressing, as the neighbours can see in through our windows.

I would like to say though, if it wasn't for this website, I would have never discussed this side of me to anyone.

Thank you girls. So now every body can see how maria looks in the photo gallery.

I still haven't gone out in public though. I've gone out twice with my SO but she takes me to a place were there are no people. My next step is to walk down the street were there are people. That is going take a lot of courage

Hi Maria,

it is nice to see that you are able to put your face up here. I actually haven't even figured out how to scan in a picture of anything!

By the way you look very nice in your picture

Hi Maria,

I'm glad you decided to show your face too.

I can't wait to see you in outfits that are not only sexy outfits, but outfits that also show you in business suits, casual wear, or even a gown. I think you'll look fantastic!!

At one time the only shoes I had were the boots like you have and I didn't have any clothes that I could really wear out of the house, but things changed slowly and I noticed the more comfy clothing was casual, but still held the same allure the more exotic clothing I'd purchased (when I first started buying things).

Ok, back to your photo. In a way you showing your face is kind of a coming out and I think you should be so proud of yourself.

Congrats to both you and Terri(SO)!
