When Concern About Appearance Becomes an Obsession.

in #hive-166408last year

I have a friend that always go around with makeup in her bag because she believes she is not so beautiful like the way she wanted.
Another is a guy he believes his teeth is yellow, his hair is not curly and arrange and his stomach is big.he combs his hair very minute (if am not exaggerating) bushing it in the direction he feels suit him.

When most of us look at ourselves in a mirror, we see areas that we feel could be improved. So we rearrange our clothes or hair or apply a little makeup and then get on with our day. Such concern about our appearance is normal and proper. But for some people concern about their looks goes to extremes, giving rise to a condition that has been called body dysmorphic disorder, or BDD.

People with BDD exaggerate their flaws, they view themselves has being ugly. This behaviour makes them distress and even make them avoid some social functions.

It can affect anyone regardles of your age and gender. This is different from the eating disorder that is usually common among ladies (female).

Constantly checking the mirror to adjust or see things that are not there can be distressing and people who feel they are not beautiful enough start to be depressed or even think of committing suicide.
Others opt in for surgery to correct their look or enhance their features, and still some are not still satisfied with it.

bottom line

Whatever reason it may, it's so abnormal and untrue to think that if you don't look beautiful or handsome, others will not be interested in You. People do not usually choose friends according to the physical appearance.yes, looks may be a factor at first, but your personality, your moral standards, and values are the true cement of friendship.

Each of us are like a book_ we may have an attractive cover,but if the contents are dull, the readers will soon put it down. However, regardless of the cover, if the book is interesting, people will hold on to it.
So why not focus on your quality as a person? Instead of being so obsessed with your look work on your personality.
