The problem with shaving is that I get the WORST ingrown hairs, and then I get scars, and it's horrible. But I don't think I have enough self-confidence to publicly display my leg hair. I don't know what to do!! What should I do? Don't shave! Just remind yourself that there are reasons you don't shave and that there is no shame in not shaving your legs. Also, medical professionals have seen everything. So long as you're clean, you're fine.

I get it, ashley - I want to not care about my legs being hairy, and I can get there in certain circumstances. But sometimes I have to give in a little so I won't get too anxious about it, especially in situations involving strangers! My best compromise so far is to just use a trimmer instead of shaving, so it's less visible but I don't have to deal with ingrown hairs.
ETA: I used to be so self conscious that I would have to shave the same day my bare legs would be visible - even next day stubble was too much. But that doesn't bother me at all now. Baby steps!

i do that, too. when i feel like i need to shave, i use an electric beard trimmer. i never shave in the winter, but sometimes i feel like i have to, like for a job interview i had today.
speaking of that...i got the job guys! thanks for your support! it's at a skilled nursing facility/health care center, which is basically a nursing home, but not they have a lot of different patients, not everyone is a senior. i'm really excited!

Ijdi, I literally just said, "Shut up!" out loud. I am so happy for you!!!! And what a relief they didn't take a load of time to make a decision or anything. Will you still be able to visit your family?

Last time I visited my GP, I had like legit leg hair and my legs were covered in burns (oven) and bruises (roller derby). (I was there to have my knee checked out, turns out I'd been working too hard.) I hadn't thought about shaving my legs until I was actually there, lying on her table. My legs didn't look like your average leg, but I looked at them and thought: They' may not be pretty legs per se, but they're my legs. My strong legs, that carry me every day, that I stand on for hours on end in the kitchen without complaining. Legs that make me one of the fastest skaters in my league. Legs that are beautiful to me for exactly those reasons. :)

You know what I sort of hate about the internet sometimes? That it makes it way too easy to know things that you don't need to know. And you don't even have to be snooping around looking, either. And then you feel all weird and confused about it. Ignorance sometimes really is bliss...
