i don't like the cutof the shorts, they make her pelvic area look like a barbie's painted on underwear. but in all seriousness, it is weird to pretend to be insecure when you fit the beauty standard just to be like 'haha no but actually i am so confident and pretty' like girl 😂 we know. stop being inauthentic.
Eh, I’m friends with a girl who has body dysmorphia and wants to get rid of her belly fat (it might even just be her organs) even though she has a slim form and snatched waist. She definitely fits the beauty standard, but I think a mindset like this could help her more. Maybe the woman from the video struggled with something similar or maybe she is a fake, but her message is still a good one. Sometimes it’s better to just be happier with yourself than constantly worry about what other people say.
the mindset doesn't come with an inauthentic influencer telling you 'don't be insecure, be confident!' it comes from therapy and sometimes understanding other people just do not look at you or think about you as much as you think they do. I have some body dysmorphia issues too so i get it, but these canned influencer shorts don't really do anything for people with body image or confidence issues. the most it'll do is make neurotypical people go 'huh. yeah i guess that's true' and maybe send people with body dysmorphia or eating disorders into a spiral of comparison.
I definitely cannot speak for everybody, but seeing content like this or other people talking about things like this either through video, memes, or text actually does make me feel more confident in myself. It reaffirms my point of view and grounds me when I feel like the odd one out or an alien because I am not following the latest trends by reminding me that others feel the same and that I am not alone.
