Anyone with body dysmorphia?
It might be a personal question, but did you find a reliable way to cope with it?

I think the best way to cope with it is to get to the bottom of it, to find its origin, what factors caused it or made it worse for you, and slowly work your way towards self acceptance. Remember to be kind to yourself, as if you were taking care of a child you love and care about.

Exposure to the idea of the worst happening Then finding you're still there and nothing has gone wrong. Then it's just compounding a peaceful experience into the nervous system So that that is the background, subconscious experience the conscious mind draws its interests and experiences from. Also actively Speaking out loud what you want to feel (Whenever persistent patterns are hard to deal with at the moment) Subconscious is indiscriminate And will begin to meet you in the middle with overturning negative self talk/internal dialogue. Hope this isn't too vague. All the best ππ₯

I don't think I have body Dysmorphia, just a low self esteem in my physical apperence. What I found helpful was getting out in the world or sending picture to friends and hearing compliments. Not sure if this would work for Body Dysmorphia. PS Nina you are a cutie and any guy would be lucky to have a beautiful woman like you.

No rush in relationships
It's so common to judge superficially these days. You see a person and you think you know this person just from their posts or messages, or voice messages, but no, it takes time. It takes a lot of time to get to know this person. That's why I don't want to hold hands instantly or kiss, because I... read more

Not a damsel in distress
There is a common belief that a woman should act like a damsel in distress, so it can trigger a hero instinct in a man. The thing is, I can never become one. I like solving issues, it allows me to develop. And I know that some men, even super masculine, can accept this. I know it because I've... read more

People who think that they know me always tell me that you don't really have any problems to deal with, but they forget that I'm a walking talking chaos and I'm a magnet for it.
If something on a small scale doesn't happen to me then most likely something worse will happen. I believe getting constantly lightly hurt (scratches, small bruises, bone cracks and ect) saves me from breaking a bone or worse.

The empath is the one that bridges the gap when the other person is not pouring in. For the sake of βthe other personβ instead of just allowing the other person to process their own things. If they need YOU they will need to reach out. Empathy has boundaries.

Avoidant attachment part 2
There is a huge problem with this type of attachment due to the fact that it makes people insecure, and insecurities can lead to jealousy.

I think a lot about how much of myself is automatic and how much is really me.
How much does everyone else do the same thing where I try to see all the spots in self reflections mirror only to realize my own blurry vision is keeping me from seeing clearly? I wonder how others address this. Does it just take time? Are there shortcuts you've found that help sharpen the view?

It's sad how paradoxical assumptions are. If you're bad at something, people assume you can't do it. If you're good at something, people assume it's easy for you. Very few people consider how much is behind, or ahead of a person, that that person could do better, or that they've been worse. Not... read more
