Let's get some shit out of the way here.

  1. your chub looks great in a crop top, I swear. Start believing it, others do.

  2. your chest/belly hair looks great too

Alright, with that business out of the way, proceed.

ok but what about I don't have the same build as the person in the cartoon

Something that helped me to feel more comfortable wearing crop tops was when a friend was complaining about her mum being iffy about my friend wearing crop tops; "Yeah, I get it, I'm chubby! People can see that regardless of if I wear a crop top. Anyone who would think I look gross in a crop top already think that of me no matter what I wear, so I don't care about dressing up for them".

This helped me to realise that because of my misgivings about my body, I tended to swamp myself in clothes that I hated, making myself look and feel worse. People being assholes can make it scarier to dress in ways that make us happy, but I can guarantee you that there are people who would find your body in a crop top to be distractingly hot/pretty.

I sure don't and it doesn't stop me. And I'm irresistible.

It's all in the way you carry yourself.
