Those of you who grew up being overweight, do you think it contributed to your personality?

I've been overweight since I was around 10 and I know in this decade my weight has affected many decisions such as trips with friends (I didn't want to go to the beach with all of my thin friends), hobbies (I didn't join dance lessons because I was ashamed of my weight and I'm also clumsy so I thought I would humiliate myself) or the clothes I wear (I've always wanted to wear crop tops and cute dresses but I wear oversized T-shirts instead).

But lately I've been wondering if it has also influenced my personality and has made me more shy, as I tried to hide myself, or less confident not only in my looks (which is kind of obvious) but I also thought I was less funny, interesting or "charming" than my skinny friends because the boys always had crushes on them and I was just the friend they would ask advice to.

What's your experience with this? Did you overcome some of these issues? I'm currently in the middle of my weight loss journey and overall I've lost 15lbs. 30 more to go, though.
