1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I don’t like my smile. I have one top front tooth that is set back a bit, and I never got braces, so I just don’t ever show my teeth when I smile. I don’t like having my arms touched or stroked because I have this weird sensitivity in them that makes a light touch hurt which is weird, because a firm touch doesn’t.
