When people say that what hides behind their statement is either:
the simple fact of having previously poor results in this area
or, more seriously,
the feeling of "not liking oneself"...

The first (more common) case is easily fixed - just go ahead and do it - although i can not guarantee that your experience and the results will be good, this is generally the case.

The second case demands more work and courage - see ›FAQ42...

Images are very important. It is not at all an exaggeration to say that finding a right image can change your life.
Playing ostrich is most unlikely to do that.
