A few things in highlight...
1. Body dysmorphia
All of us have been scared of eyes at some point, to have people perceive our bodies and judge our flaws. Stretch marks, scars, strawberry legs, curves and dips and all the other natural aspects of our bodies that we have been trying to hide in shame. We challenge this notion of “the perfect body” and the impossible standards we set upon ourselves.
2. Face dysmorphia
The mirror sometimes does not seem kind, and the camera even more cruel. “My nose is too big, my face is too hairy, my teeth are too crooked, my coloring is too uneven, my acne is ugly,” we have all had at least some of these thoughts or more throughout our lives. We challenge this notion of “beauty” and demand a redefinition of the word beyond the symmetrical aesthetic.
3. Loneliness and social isolation
It’s no shame but it's time to accept that we all have felt lonely and excluded in our lives. We have found it hard to talk and seek support, even from our loved ones. We have said "i'm okay" or "i'm fine" even when we're most definitely not. We challenge this notion of “all is fine” when most of the time, it is not. We challenge our own prisoner tongues because we know that pain demands to be heard.
Why did we highlight body & face dysmorphia with loneliness & social isolation?
Self doubts, especially those that can be seen through our naked eyes, fall prey to becoming the first of our personal emotional scars, fostering loneliness and social isolation. Constantly perceiving imagined flaws erodes self-esteem, making individuals hesitant to engage in social interactions. During the times of hardships, naturally, our physical features do take off the edge and amplify to our negative thoughts increasing self sabotage behaviours. These negative thoughts sum up to a wholesome of a mountain built up with negativity. The relentless pursuit of an idealized appearance often leads to withdrawal from social circles, as sufferers fear judgment and rejection. Intense self-consciousness impedes genuine connections, trapping individuals in a cycle of isolation. The distorted self-image becomes a barrier to forming meaningful relationships, exacerbating the profound loneliness that accompanies these mental health challenges. Consequently, the impact of face and body dysmorphia extends beyond the physical, permeating the emotional fabric of one's social existence.
Yet our conversations go beyond body dysmorphia, face dysmorphia or loneliness & social isolation.
