No one should have to live in a world where they’re made to feel bad about their bodies by other people. Of course, you cannot control what other people say about you and your appearance, but you can avert the spiteful loop of body shaming.
So what should you do? How Do You deal with Body Shaming?
- Stop body shaming yourself and Be Grateful for Your Body: Instead of running after what’s missing, be thankful for what you have right now and the body that keeps you alive daily. No one, including the celebrities, have a flawless body, so don’t be deceived. You have to appreciate yourself before anyone else can.
- Get help from a therapist: While some people can overcome body shame on their own, others need to work with a professional therapist specializing in body image issues. If you’re having trouble dealing with body shaming, it’s crucial to seek professional help before it harms your mental health.
- Take Control Of Your Social Media Platforms: Social media is just another world on your palm and contains loads of things. Social media can be deceptive, so don’t be moved by all you see that glitters. If any body-shaming comments on social media are causing you a lot of stress, make sure you take control of it. Be yourself and never allow yourself to be intimidated.
