for a lot of people you can’t even have leg or underarm hair showing in your house if you live with your family still, they’ll look at you the same way strangers do and are more likely to make a rude comment about how gross and hairy you look.
My mother literally told me, unprompted, that I was "disgusting" because I hadn't shaved my armpits and wasn't planning to. I'm actually dealing with some debilitating health problems at the moment that literally make self care like that physically difficult, if not impossible for me, and still her number one priority is how gross my body is. It's infuriating!
there was a long period of time i was actually terrified of shaving my armpits because i ended up with a severely infected abscess that i had to have cut open and drained. well, when something is that swollen and infected, injections for the pain don't work. i felt everything and blacked out.
it was so large i couldn't put my arm down to my side because it hurt. they had to stop and just leave it open so it would drain on its own :<

When I visited him, my brother saw my ass and said it looks like an apes for all the hair. If only I were gay i'd make a fine bear.
