In my case, my weight has given me a lot of insecurities. I used to be very thin, but over the years, due to isolation, lack of activity and comfort eating, I've gained a bit more than I'm comfortable with. I strongly believe that this has been one of the reasons for my avoidance. There are a lot of deeper, trauma related issues too, though, but I definitely try to hide my own body while walking in the streets etc.
