Hello, I am trying so hard to stay confident with my body and my natural hair. For about 3 months I didn't shave, and my life was just so much easier. However coworkers and acquaintances once they found out just made me so self conscious, but either outright gagging when they talked about me or just making rude comments on how "wow now you're fat and hairy" which was UNCALLED for knowing that im struggling with weight. But I stopped shabing for health reasons, I have HS and now that I shaved my underarms are suffering and I have so many bumps. Plus I am on a blood thinner so all of my cuts/Knicks bleed like crazy.

Truly I should just ignore them, but I am such a self conscious people pleaser. Anyone have any advice?
