Has anyone ever done anything like this? When you're trying to hide something that you're physically embarressed about and you're so self concious about it that you mention it to people, just so they know that you're aware that it's there or that it's an issue. Meanwhile, they probably never would have noticed it if you hadn't of said anything.:-P I have a habit of doing this! If I have a zit or a run in my stockings, I will mention it to someone and say something like "Don't mind the run in my stocking, I hadn't noticed it til it was too late to change it" or "Sorry about the zit, I know it's probably gross.";-P These are just examples but in any case, have any of you ever did something like this? Do you bring attention to something your self concious about, even though no one would have known if you had kept quiet?;-P

I have experienced this such thing. Not anything like a zit or run in stocking but like a slip or bra strap keep sliding out. It is important to say I am sorry and fix the problem asap. For a zit you just need to keep on eye out or feelers out for new one that is popping up. A good way to do that is wash face with proactiv i havent tried it yet, but it seems to be a big thing esp if movie stars are doing it....surely we should right? Oh well, avoid attention is best to just to not bring it up. Or attend to it before it is noticable.

I know you're right but when I feel self consious sometimes I just think that if I point it out then they know I'm not trying to act like it's not there and I know that it in fact is there LOL...

I think when people are embarassed about themselves in something they put their attention in it for that reason other people will look exactly to that point!
