I'm self conscious about my body weight and showing off a lot of skin. I have eczema on my body so I like to wear tankinis instead of bikinis.I'm going to a pool party soon, with girls who are ok with their bodies...how can I feel more relaxed?

Just wear what you would normally wear and don't worry about what others think. People who say or give you funny looks are usually ignorant or very shallow. Just go and have fun and don't even think about what others think. True friends won't ever say a word. Go have fun! You'll be relaxed around real friends.

There's only one way to get relaxed, Don't care about others. Who cares what they say or think ? You're great the way you are. Be comfortable in your skin & enjoy life. Don't let others take your true self & joy, This life is yours, So enjoy it as who you are & how you are. You are worrying about type of people that aren't worthy by the real meaning. Those people that you're worrying about, they are total losers that feeling empty by personality, They have problems enough so why would you be worry ? If this behaviour makes them feel better, let them do what they want, You just ignore & keep having fun, Trust me, Just all you need is believing yourself. Ignore all the negative words or looks, Keep your chin up & be confident with yourself Proud of yourself & enjoy the party.

Honestly, all of us spend way more time thinking about how we look and what others think, when in reality people don't really take that much notice (they are usually busy worrying about what they look like too).

I get a heat rash on my hands when it's hot, and I used to worry about it when I was in highschool, but then I learned that people usually react to how you react, rather than the condition itself...

If you feel like you really will be self conscious about your eczema then maybe you could wear some swimwear or an accessory that will take attention away from it... A bright color or an interesting accessory or whatever.

Another idea (that is going to sound a little harsh maybe) is that you could watch one of those documentaries about people who have much more severe skin conditions. I find that watching that kind of stuff really puts smaller health problems like eczema into perspective.
