I'm 14 years old and people say I have a very distorted perception of myself because I think I look very bad and have a very odd body shape. I don't have a full body picture so ill just give you my measurements. I have a waist to hip ratio of.7 and my BMI is 18.4. I wear a size 3 pants, a small size shirt in juniors and my bra size is 36A.Do I have distorded self-image? and if so why do you think I do and if not tell me what exactly is wrong with my body shape?
How can I put this. If you think you have an odd body shape and think you look very bad, then well people are going to say you have a distorted self-image. Image is really in the eye of the beholder. It is not like there is an absolute reality. Thus, if you dont like your body and think it's odd, well you're probably suffering from low self esteem and a somewhat distorted perspective.
that is a great way of putting it. if you really want a no nonsece opinion though, go to someone that is really blunt and truthfull, (usually not someone close) and ask.
