Body dysmorphia self portrait

Portrait was my self expression at the time and wish I were better at art

I had a whole thing typed out and ready to go. It felt too much about how I feel and not enough about how we can help each other overcome the negative feelings. We all have flaws we think the world can see, though I can say without a doubt hardly anyone is going to unless you point out what you don't like about yourself. I haven't ever witnessed people interacting (outside of childhood and bigots) where a person points out your left arm is longer than your right, one breast is bigger than the other, your ears attach with no earlobe, your nose is crooked, one eye squints more than the other when you flash your crooked smile, your voice gets a higher pitch when you're excited, your legs are hairy or not hairy.

We're all human and we vary and we'll probably like to have a certain feature we don't have thinking it would make us better. People with curly hair want straight hair and those with straight hair want curly hair.

I don't know if this helps anyone, but if it helps a single person out there it is worth sharing.
