I think it's also related to a feeling of helplessness. If we feel self-conscious about our income level or our bad habits or whether we can make witty banter at cocktail parties, those are all things that we can work towards changing. But with our physical appearance, we are much less in control. Unless you're…

i've been trying to figure out why I still feel like shit when my life is seemingly totally in order. I have a new job with a good salary, a fantastic boyfriend, a decent apartment - which in my mind is sort of the trifecta for where I am in my life. Why do I still feel down? Because none of that makes me feel not…

And I don't blame them/us.

Hard to say.

I stress about my job performance way more than how I look. That's saying quite a lot actually, since I spend massive amounts of cash on beauty products. I'm just a big ole ball of anxiety.

I spend way more than two weeks in front of a mirror per year. That lady in the mirror is the only person who listens to me anymore.

As someone who's suffered from extremely crippling BDD since childhood, all I have to say is: NO SHIT, SHERLOCK.

One of the biggest issues here is that how a woman looks is so intrinsically tied to her standard of living. Better looking women have better jobs, more friends/romantic prospects; the better you look, the better you're treated. Who wouldn't stress over that?

Well yeah, why wouldn't they? Most of their value and power in western culture comes from their looks.

"(and maybe ability to show up on time)"

I admire the dedication to heirloom techniques. I know it's lazy but I've got this long-haired stepdaughter I keep around for all of my beautification needs.

I never worry about how I look. The solution is poison apples.

I got me a dog that looks like a dingo. No idea what kind of mix she is, I think she has a little husky but I'm not sure. Anyway, everyone thinks she's adorable and/or gorgeous. I like having a dog that looks so unique. That little bend on her left ear? ADORABLE

Das ist super geil!

or a rabbit! Most rabbits are easily toilet-trained and can live openly in a room rather than a cage (though you might want to keep them in just one room so you don't have to bunny proof the whole house — they do chew). They are also very sociable, loving animals, unbelievably soft, cuddly if you create a calm…

Yes, this time a thousand! And they have superb personalities for the most part and live 2-3 times longer because they're not riddled with breeding faults and mutations.

Yo me toooooo.

Christ, if you want a unique pet, adopt a mutt from a pound—nonpurebred cats and dogs can be made up of so many different breeds for a completely unique package.
