Um, my tetracycline-stained teeth. At least I DID do it for a long time but ONE TIME someone said, "You have a nice smile," and I quit worrying about them.
Isn't that both joyous and sad, that it took ONE COMMENT to change me? Why hadn't I listened to God's assurances?

BTW, have an author guest today--my FIRST! Would love you to stop by and say hi if you have time. P
My natural tendency to spend hours alone. I force myself to be social--most people have no idea I could be by myself for 48 hours and be entirely happy!
Oooh, interesting. I think we hide a lot of things on different levels. For me, I try to hide how OCD I am about certain things. Not a clean house, unfortunately.
Not hiding stuff is my problem. I'm an open book and I think that's how I deal with stuff. Whatever I'm going through always comes out in my writing - good or bad. Yikes!
Too many things to count, but one of my biggies is impatience. Everyone thinks I'm so gentle and sweet, when I may be gritting my teeth through that smile.
I love that God loves me anyway. And so do my buddies.
We all have something we keep hidden, downplay, try to overlook, whether it's physical or emotional. A method of life, a secret, a hurt.

A huge family drama that has been going on for years and certain members not speaking to each other for those long years. Very sad.

I used to hide my past. Not anymore :) Writing a memoir will get you waaaay over that fear :)
Honestly, I slouch to hide why my friends called me Dolly Parton in h.s.
You knew I'd represent on this one. ;)

I hide my insecurity well. Many think I am a together kind of person, but in reality, I question everything I do and am.
Great post!
Some days I think I got married too young. I try to hide that feeling from my husband.

If I tell you it wouldn't be hidden. :-) I will admit to nairing my upper lip. *grin*
Love that picture!! Adorable! I also like the way it looks with the teal background. :D
I think I've reached an age now when hiding stuff takes too much effort. It all hangs out now. ;)
Well, if I tell you, I wouldn't be very good at hiding it, would I?
:)
Perhaps how much I need/adore attention. :-)
How much I crave human touch.
Crying. When I cry, I have a pathological obsession to hide it in public. I have cried at work before and it was humiliating for me.
We're estranged from my family. I typically gloss over any questions about relatives and turn the conversation towards the one I'm speaking with.
Hi Janna -
Although I try very hard, patience is not my strong point. Not enough sleep and time in the Word - it's not pretty.
Blessings,
Susan
Can I say all of the above? Mostly that I am afraid of stupid things and that makes me so insecure.

For a long time, I didn't tell anyone that I write. In fact, I've only started to in the last year or so. Slowly getting over my fears.

all my insecurities. I act like I don't have any, but I'm so jacked up with them it warps me sometimes.
Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be hidden....snicker.....
My feelings
Back hair. Sorry, but you asked.
My fear. Thought-provoking question
