@Namira proceeds to add more insteadβ¦
-
@Namira MB Namira-I didnβt get that memo lmao.
I did fix it tho -
@laraiia Body dysmorphia isβ¦ oh boy. The government says that it is a βmental illness characterized by obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance.β
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 peopleβs mental health. Itβs 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 iβd just put this out here
I donβt have body dysmorphia, but i am heavily insecure about myself.
Iβm 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
Iβm 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 Iβm glad youβre 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 itβs normal and she donβt give a single fuq so iβm 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.)
