Did anyone else feel ashamed of their figure or struggle to identify their body shape?

I’ve always felt like my figure was “weird” or not quite “normal.” I never really fit into any of the typical body shape categories, and I used to feel a bit ashamed of it. For years, I couldn’t figure out what body shape I had and struggled with finding clothes that felt flattering or comfortable. It took a lot of research, and a bit of trial and error, before I figured out that I actually have a figure 8 shape.

Does anyone else relate to this experience of feeling confused or ashamed of your body shape until you eventually understood it better? How has knowing your body shape helped with styling or confidence?

Would love to hear your experiences and thoughts!
