Anxiety, I think I have that already, not as a result of bad body image, but, bring very frustrated and even angry because of bad body image, along with other problems, including panic attacks and such.
It took me a while to find a forum like this, where I was allowed to post on, because of all of the woman-only body image sites.
My body in general is one thing that I don't like, the condition of it
But, my biggest issue is my height, although it maybe sound strange or silly, it is a very big issue.
Being short for a male is probably the worst thing you can be, because everybody obsesses over it.
Not just the media, but everyday people, in general. In sperm banks in America, there is actually a height restriction, where you actually aren't allowed to donate sperm, because, as stated before, people are obsessed with height.
There are parents who are injecting their children with growth hormone, even when they have no physical condition, but are just naturally short.
I don't want to be accused of blowing this out of proportion, but, from these facts, it does really seem like the world is trying to actually cease short people from existence.
When the media says one thing, to a certain degree you can shrug it off, but when it is everybody, even people in daily life, it really does add to the problem.
I am sorry if this sounds more like a rant, but, self-esteem issues are made worse when they are things that you have no control over at all.
