I hate my body. I’ve been in bad shape my whole life and wish that I was attractive and fit.
What feelings arise?
I feel embarrassed.
My face embarrasses me. It isn’t symmetrical. My nose is too big and my ears are too small. Forehead is too big.
I feel different.
I feel ugly.
I feel unattractive.
I feel unwanted.
How does it affect you?
I feel like I can’t find a girlfriend.
What is your part?
I need to stop being a meme.
I need to surround myself with people that love me for who I am.
What are you learning?
I fear that I’m judged by the standards, which I judge others.
I have reservations about my body because I don’t fit the standard.
I have problems with girls and how they view me.
Seeing my friends that are 150 lbs., 6 ft., and having a beautiful girlfriend triggers me. I tell myself that if I could just have a larger “x” muscle or grow “x” inches I will be successful.
I have flashes of confidence, but when it ends I become very depressed.
If being 150 lbs. doesn’t work, I’ll know that I am not the problem. I’ll know that I tried my best.
What can you shift in your perspective?
I could work out every day or increase my self-esteem another way.
How will you work with your difficulty?
I need to judge others for their character before I expect others to do the same for me.
What is your difficulty teaching you?
Be happy and spread happiness.
