BODY IMAGE
You have formulated unhealthy definitions about your body that are negatively influencing your mental health.
Your perceived imperfections are making you feel self-conscious, inadequate, and socially awkward. Your distorted view of your attractiveness, shape, weight, gender identity, or individual body parts have led to habitual self-scrutinizing, and body shaming.
You have set unrealistic expectations for perfection, and they are affecting the way you engage with the world. Self-acceptance is required. Left unresolved a negative body image can intensify, creating body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders, depression, and other mental health issues. If you are struggling to introduce positive change, seek help from a qualified therapist.
