is it normal to not be able to name one thing about your physical appearance you like about yourself?

Question

I can not honestly name one thing I like about my looks. I hate everything,I'm disgusted by every single aspect of myself. I have medical conditions which make me hold onto weight and not be able to exercise much. No, I'm not one of those just wanting reassuring or compliments. I'm just curious on if other women feel this way? I hate my skin,face,hair,eyes,teeth,lips etc...

Answer

Do ever wonder how much differently we’d feel and think about ourselves if there were no mirrors?

Answer

One time a therapist asked me to name one thing I liked about myself. I thought for a long time then started crying because I couldn't name one thing. She challenged me to change the way I talk to/about myself. Conciously stop yourself from saying anything you wouldn't say to another person. It has been life changing for me. Google Positive Self Talk for good info.

Answer

Could you see a therapist? It might be body dysmorphic disorder.

Answer

if that's truly how you feel I suggest getting yourself some counseling so you can learn to love yourself

Answer

Its common but not normal. You should love all aspects of yourself for better or worse. Try telling yourself how beautiful you are out loud even if you don't believe it yet, the more you do the more you will trick your brain to actually start to like what you see in the mirror. Everybody is beautiful and deserves to feel beautiful and that includes you. The sooner you realize that the better off you will be.
