On FaceTime, in person, even when i'm looking at myself in a mirror, I am ALWAYS concerned about how others perceive me but most often, so so judgemental of my own appearance.
Of course, it is human nature that most of us have moments when we are not happy with the way we look but for me, it Is almost ALL the time.
If I'm on FaceTime, I will constantly look at the little screen with my picture on - is this self-obsessive? Maybe... but it's definitely not because I LIKE the way I look, in fact, there's always thoughts rushing through my mind like: do I look ugly? Should I sit differently so I don't look bad? Etc.
Why does no one else seem to be concerned about how they look... why is it mainly me most of the time? Ive even got to the point where I won't take pictures with my friends because I think I look awful.
It's even got to the point that I'm comparing how I look with my friends on a DAILY basis. It's not great for my mental health and neither is it helping me with self esteem... not at all.
I'm not overweight, but I always perceive myself as fat, and ugly etc. I try to get fitter and healthier, but I can't stick to a routine.
Does anyone feel like this too?
Do you have any tips about how to stick to a workout routine?
