Story 94

A couple of years ago a friend said to me I have 'shorter legs'. She clearly didn't mean any harm with it, but the comment got stuck in my head. I had never noticed that my proportions were off, so I wondered why she had said it. I started comparing myself with others and feeling insecure. This became almost obsessive and lasted for several years. All because of one comment. I am 44 years old.
