Body Image

[heera72]

  In this generation, where everything is about social media and has become public, the younger generation especially has shaped their thoughts of body image based on societal influences. Such societal influences are primarily unrealistic and have influenced people to have standard looks rather than emphasizing on accepting themselves for how they are, has led to some people suffering from eating disorders. It is important to love ourselves for who we are, even with our flaws, and accept our bodies without needing to look like everyone or have the standards of beauty portrayed.

Do you have any experiences to share @heera72 ?

Not exactly. I was also one of the kind who wanted to look like every other person on social media once, but it was not so bad enough as an obsession or something that led to an eating disorder. Hopefully and fortunately, even before anything could happen, I had started to accept and love myself for the way I am.
