Most of us have or have had issues with our body image and our appearance. Society tends to place a lot of emphasis on the way we look, and only people who look a very specific way are considered "beautiful".
So do you feel that people do not accept you because of the way you look? Would you like to discuss it? Or express your feelings about it? Are you angered at trying to live up to society's double standards? Or maybe you have fought that battle of self-acceptance and now feel at peace with yourself, and would like to share your experiences? If you do then this community is for you!
This community is intended to be a place where people can feel safe to talk and discuss their feelings and opinions about body image and self image. Since this can be a very sensitive topic, please do not post things that will be considered offensive. Any promotion of an ideal or standard of looks will not be allowed. I will delete any such posts.
Advertising of other communities will not be tolerated and I will just delete any such posts.
