I do not like my body as it is right now. This is bringing a lot of issues. One can do many things to improve it, including surgery. But I wonder if 1000 surgeries would be enough for me. It is amazing how having a body we do not like can determine our social life, particularly we are our own source of isolation. We transmit our self dislike to people around us, beyond general public preferences regarding bodies. There are people that just care about the very beautiful. But there are others that acknowledge other characteristics as desirable, such us self confidence. It is a tricky situation because you do not know what goes first, if self confidence or social acceptation.
