@Namira MB Namira-I didn’t get that memo lmao.
I did fix it tho -
@laraiia Body dysmorphia is… oh boy. The government says that it is a ‘mental illness characterized by obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance.’
You see yourself differently than you are. For example, someone who has a small stomach/a little pudge may see themselves as grossly obese, or someone who has (x) body features may see it as a much more extreme version of itself, and it can take a toll on people’s mental health. It’s quite common-there are more than 3 million diagnosed cases in the U.S. (per year, I think?)Everyone experiences it differently and reacts differently, though.

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 oh thank you

@laraiia anytime. :)

@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 okay i thought i’d just put this out here
I don’t have body dysmorphia, but i am heavily insecure about myself.
I’m always scared to wear a two peice swimsuit because when i sit, i get that like ugly fold thing (iykyk)
I also was trying on some clothes and i was just scared i would get fatter once i got older
I’m trying to stay positive though -
@Enzi Dude I feel this-I hate the folds in my stomach, I hate the way my skin and fat sits on my body, and it just looks- gross-
But I’m glad you’re trying to stay positive about things! <3 -
@just-a-fkn-reaper-3-0 yes
but then again i just think my friend always wears two peices and she has those folds too cause it’s normal and she don’t give a single fuq so i’m just trying to ignore them and be happy with my body
-
@Enzi honestly, valid. I try. But I end up wearing 3 peices with a longsleeve coverup. (Also partially bc I burn really easily.)
