I am really speaking the truth (of course avoiding some sensitive words like fat, fullness, overweight...) and is in line with my thinking. As for her friend, she is always obsessed with weight loss recipes, even buying injections to fight appetite and inject into the body.
No one is perfect. There is a psychological thing called physical assault syndrome. When suffering from this syndrome, there will be many negative thoughts and negative assessments of their appearance. They often look at themselves for many hours to find out or imagine and exaggerate their body flaws such as a big nose, acne or thinning hair. They may notice practical flaws or imagine those flaws.
That syndrome is called Quasimodo - the name of the famous goose in the novel Notre Dame Cathedral by French writer - Victor Hugo. According to statistics, 2.4% of the world's population has and is suffering from Quasimodo's disease. This syndrome can occur in both men and women of all subjects, however, the proportion of women is often higher.
Not only that, even temporary shortcomings can cause patients to feel excessive stress, feel inferior and lose confidence in dialogue and communication with people around them. This worry often comes from over-exaggerating small flaws in the body. Unrealistic mental stress will cause patients to create psychological barriers to the surrounding environment.
In the long term, patients are susceptible to impaired social functions, negatively affecting their daily lives. More seriously, patients can isolate themselves from the outside world, even close family and friends.
someone could say that I don't have Quasimodo syndrome! But let's note, those with bad skin will care about someone else's skin. People who are not born white will care about someone else's teeth. People who are short or look at other people's hair first... These are mild manifestations of Quasimodo syndrome. Of course, that is the usual mentality. It only becomes a disease if you always imagine or exaggerate your shortcomings.
I remember singer Ha Anh Tuan's delicate answer when asked by the MC: "In your thinking, what is a beautiful person?". Ha Anh Tuan replied: "A beautiful person is one who finds someone who complaces about being beautiful. Sometimes all you need in life is one person. For example, Thi No is still a beauty....
Psychologist Alfred famously said: All our troubles and sufferings are not due to things and nature, but because we add ideas to those things.
Focus on your value. I believe that no one is Thi No and no one is Quasimodo.
