When people talk about body dysmorphia, they rarely mention hating one's face. Which is so much more terrifying and destructive than hating any other part of your body. Your face is your identity. You can't hide it. It's you. Hating it ruins one's life.
@@bommie21 hate is such a strong word. do you really hate your face or do you believe no one else likes your face? i'm sure your face is gorgeous. please don't hate it
@@yourbaeniaclay I really don't like my face, years ago I went on a strict diet and lost a lot of weight, I was so thin but not exaggerated, but people continued to look at me strange and I have often heard whispers saying that I am ugly, that's when I realized that my problem was my face. Now i gained weight and i'm fat but i don't hate my body, it's not pretty of course, but i don't hate it as much as i don't like my face, if my face was more beautiful, i would certainly live happier. I don't know if you can understand it, but this is my dilemma. Sorry for my bad english, it is not my mother language
im so confused how someone who looks so perfect like that used to nitpick on 'flaws'...like umm...i'm soory i see beautiful eyes, flawless skin and GREAT hair like GORGEOUS
I have huge body dysmorphia with my face. I hate looking at my face in the mirror and pictures. In fact, I try to avoid pictures as much as possible, which saddens me, because when I am old, I will not have any photographic memories or pictures to show people of myself at my youth.
Omg this is me. I don’t have any pictures of my boyfriend and I because I don’t like looking at my face:( and when people ask if I have pictures of us I say no and they just look at me like I’m weird
I feel you i hate taking pictures too cause i think i look ugly and everytime we go on trips with family or friends i always avoid takin pics which saddens me a lot :(
Ya I always think about how when i die there won't be many photos of my for people to remember me by and it's kinda sad but I just feel so self conscious about how I look :(
She seems so genuine. Didn't care to listen to her promo interviews much before the panorama but I like this Lana. She's very real and it's so much more captivating than all that other superficial crap they usually have young celebrities speak on.
It’s refreshing to see an Asian (American) actress as a lead in a romantic teen comedy. I can’t remember ever seeing that when I was younger and it feels great to see it now. And especially without it being a cliche “Asian” role or as a funny side kick to the blonde bombshell. It just felt so normal and I felt represented.
Yes fr. As an Indian, I never feel represented. The only American shows I can name with Indian actors are never have I ever and jessie(Ravi). And even then, they are the stereotypical Indians. I just want an Indian character who is just Indian, and not the stereotypical super cultural indian
Yes it would be amazing to see an Indian lead actress too! All races should be represented in the arts. It makes no sense at all not to show more Indian actors In American films, they are so beautiful with their gorgeous skin, eyelashes and hair!
Lana Condor is literally so inspiring, she’s so humble and sweet. She’s also such a great actress and seeing someone I can relate to on the big screen is just so beautiful
Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and think.. "wow you're so beautiful" then a few minutes go by and I think I'm the ugliest person in the world..
I relate with what she said about becoming more outspoken during the pandemic. I screamed at a guy last week who was a bully on the road and splashed a little old man head to toe in water by blasting through a huge puddle. I’m 100% done with people
Speaking out helps. But then, you have to love yourself regardless of how big your stomach is, how big or thick your thighs are, how you're not so tall, how you're too tall. Whichever way your body is, It's adequate, it is enough! I'm still learning to love myself daily, it's not easy but definitely, we will get there!!
Honestly, I've only really seen Lana in the movies, but seeing her like this makes me appreciate her so much as a person. It's very comforting to have someone to relate to :)
I'll be honest. Lana has helped me with my dysmorphia. Her 3 movies became my favourite on Netflix because the female lead is different than the usual tall white female. Lana's character kinda told me that living your life is more important than obsessing over your looks. She looks so different than her peers but her confidence shines through and she actually comes across as the prettiest. Her dressing sense and makeup add to it.
Absolutely! I am kind of short and I don't have... I don't know how to name it: elongated, hour-glass shaped figure? Which is for some reason beauty standard everywhere... I was so happy when I realised (okay, I knew that already, but..) that a girl that looks like me can also be a (stunning, beautiful, perfect) main character.
me too!! her style in 3 of her netflix movies, to all the boys i've loved before, i found her outfit is stunning and i like her style, she looks cute and make me more confidence about my body, i found myself that beauty isn't always that slim white perfect body.
Having women like Lana Candor and Ashley Graham really heals the tween and teen in me. The yrs reading YA novels and consuming media where the leading ladies were not POC or varied in proportions. Thank you for making me see myself as the leading lady of my own life. 😊
Honestly seeing someone like Lana that is so normal, in an amazing movie like TATB was so inspiring for an Asian girl and it’s the representation that I needed! 😍💕🙌🏻
“you have to treat yourself like your best friend” “talk to yourself gently and nicely” *remembers i would call my self stupid, idiot and saying to myself that i should die* 👀👀🤭🙈
I feel for her. She’s not fat per se, but her face is just naturally plumper and round. It must have caused a lot of self image issues. I have a round face too, and no matter how much I starve my body or workout, my face will still look plump while my body looks thin. It sucks but other than surgery, there’s not much you can do about it
I think there is nothing I could write to convince you that 1) a round face is beautiful and 2) your appearance doesn't define how fulfilling your life is. I struggled for years with anorexia while still having a very round face. I wish you all the luck with getting towards a healthy mindset. May God help you.
this is something i’ve been struggling w and when you talked about how “I’m 23 and I’m influenced by it, I was like I’M 23 and I’m influenced by it haha. thank you lana for making me feel validated. much love to you and your journey
Loved it!!!! Like I really relate to Lana about body dysmorphia .these tiktokers and Victoria secret models and all are beautiful in their own way. We all are also beautiful in our own way. And tbh beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. So anyone reading this comment You are beautiful and I mean it!!!! I love you You are important You are worthy You are strong And most importantly You are beautiful just the way you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️
I always wonder how people act and show their bodies with body dysmorphia? That's such a high level of confidence. I can't even look in the mirror at myself sometimes, nevermind showing my body to million of views around the world. I find it amazing and I'm in awe.
I agree. I can barely stand myself in pictures I would never let myself be filmed lmao my face is not symmetric at all i literally look weird when i talk people have told me so so yeah there's that
Mine is usually...okay...unless I see myself in a mirror or a picture. Like somehow able to fool myself and then seeing myself reflected or shown in images confirms how horrible I feel about how I look
I just love how our generation is becoming open and comfortable with their problems.... I love how cutely she represents her self - care need not only to her but the whole world, its just so beautiful...... These sometimes just are such a great comfort
She’s so self-aware and you can tell it’s because she works so hard to better herself. But I also cannot stop staring at her beautiful glowy complexion wow
As soon as I read the title my jaw dropped. I have severe body dysmorphia, mostly surrounding my face. I survived five years of 24/7 suicidal ideation and self-harm attempts and I cannot say how much little things like this matter. Thank you, Lana.
I wouldn’t have a best friend if I said the things to them that I did to myself...definitely didn’t think of it that way til now and it helps to keep it in mind❤️
Im a person who struggles with facial dysmorphia. I just dont know how to get rid of it and a cry about it everyday. I dont go outside because of it either. I literally hide in my room all day because I feel like people are gonna comment about me when ever I wanna step out. I felt like I didnt deserve this life because of How I think my face looks. Then someone in my class called me pretty but I still believed that i wasnt so I knew there was something wrong with me. I dont know how to fix it I had it for a supper long time and I just get wanna get it out of my head. Now im growing up and im in puberty and I absolutely hate the way my body looks. It gets progressively worse every time. Even the thought of changing the way I see myself is giving me anxiety.
Practicing mindfulness has helped. The mindfulness book "30 Days to Stop Obsessing" by Harper Daniels has good exercises and lessons. Share it with anyone who might be struggling. The fight is real, but it doesn't have to be long term. There's a way.
I’ve never met another poc with facial dysmorphia… it’s always centered around our bodies but up until recently I’ve hated my body until I realized I hated my face more…
Someone with a big platform like her helps so much I have body dismorphia pretty bad and this helped so much I am in tears I’m very grateful for the people who speak up on topics like these
Great advice. Ballet to acting isn’t much better with body image though. Most of the leading ladies aren’t just skinny, they are thin. Directors and producers don’t spare feelings too they will talk about an actress’s weight to staff while male actors are treated differently.
I love Lana she’s such an incredible soul, I love the positive energy she radiates and how loving and caring she is to people, she’s so smart and inspiring and an amazing actress. 💜🌺
Wow, thank you Lana for being so open & honest! I think it's easy to look at all these gorgeous celebs and think that they don't have any insecurities or don't struggle with the same things we do, but clearly, that's not the case. I think her being so candid about something so private makes her 100x more beautiful than before. This is the type of woman I'm glad younger girls now have as someone to look up to~
My beautiful Lara Jean so inspiring and brave. I hope i can find some exercise that truly i like, not only to lose weight but also for fun.. i get bored easily and i hate jumping
I get bored really easily too when I workout especially if I'm working out without a workout partner. But I highly recommend the fitness marshall he is so inspiring and uplifting he does dance videos. And then there's this girl on RUclips called Natacha Oceána were she does hitt workouts, they make you feel so powerful. Hope this helps.
To anyone with Body Dysmorphia, I too have it and quite severe. Yet, I've started to *think less* about my looks and more about how I can enjoy and make my life better. I will still over-exercise and visit various clinics to help erase my imperfections. However, I try to not think about it too much and rather focus on other things in life like career, vacations and hobbies. Eventually we all have to wither away. We're here for a good time not a long time.
Just took a picture of myself and realised how ugly I am and I have been avoiding taking pictures.People cannot understand me because They think I am beautiful and I might be mad for thinking like this . I hate every single body part of me and every single thing in my face , i keep thinking how to fix everything .All of this sucks!
its so refreshing hearing a celebrity talk about mental health and something as common and prevalent as body dysmorphia. i love her so much i can't wait to see her in future films and projects
She is such a good role model. I feel like she and I look a bit similar in that we’re both Asian and short, and I appreciate the fact that she also isn’t super bone-thin. I’m not shaming anyone who is because I know some people struggle with gaining weight, but it doesn’t make me feel good about myself because even though I’m not “fat,” it makes me feel like I am when I see all these people who are so thin that I can see their bones poking out under their skin. She looks like a healthy weight and has a rounder face like I do, and it gives me a little bit of hope that maybe I’m not as ugly as I think I am and that if she can have bones that don’t show and a rounder face and be gorgeous, maybe I can too.
The Asian community has a very specific standard of beauty, Asians are expected to be thin, unhealthy thin. It's so sad because it's a never-ending struggle within yourself.
I can’t believe how incredibly relatable this was... When she mentioned she loves her puppy 🐶 (not puppy anymore) and that she realized she was more introverted than she thought... I was like, Lana Condor is me 👁👄👁
I have a lean body but my thighs on the other hand is big. I have had my days disliking it! But I am growing to love my body for the way it is. It is tough but I am trying. It makes me insecure. I can't wear the dress I want tho.
everytime I think about body dysmorphia I think I defintely don't see myself as others do... but what if I really am the way I see myself? what if it's true? all the facts speak for it! I don't wear small sizes, the scale on the number says I'm in the upper range, my height is what it is - I feel like a giant with all the focus on my legs and butt I honestly wish it was "just my imagination" but what if it isnt...? no one's ever told me "yeah but you're thin"
Relating to a lot of this and feeling the realizing you’re an introvert during this because you’ve been forced to be an extrovert. Speak your truth we love to hear it 🤍
Awwwn oh my word But I really do love and admire your body shape Lana. Ur body has always been goals to me 😩❤✨ Especially in ur movie To all the boys I've loved before ...
I feel like Lana is definitely speaking to my soul. I've thought of my introverted self and having to expel being an extrovert but I'm truly an introvert. I'm totally okay being alone too.
I love this. It’s true that half of the hateful things that I tell myself are things that I would never say to my best friend. Hearing a celebrity who is the same age as I am talk about her experience made me realize that they’re not immune to the same struggle that I deal with every day when I see myself in the mirror.
I really understand her, I think I don't have body dysmorphia, but i'm really insecure and this has been really helpful. It's has been a journey, as she said. It's all too difficult after the pandemia, but also, has been something about talking to yourself in so many ways that I haven't done before....
I remember last year before the pandemic, i hated that my body was thin and i wanted to gain weight because I thought i wasn’t pretty enough and thick girls are gaining traction. I took supplements, ate a lot and gained a lot of weight and i stopped exercising. I liked how it felt. I felt more confident, clothes fitted me better, people asked me out, it felt good. But i became afraid of going overboard with the weight gain, so i started exercising and counting calories. It didn’t feel like i was losing any weight. During Christmas , i caught COVID-19 and i was sick for a month. I lost so much weight and i had to cut my hair. After i got better, i couldn’t recognize myself, i looked so different, i didn’t look like myself, i had long beautiful braids before my brother snipped it off with scissors. I hate that i had to cut my hair but it had to be done. I don’t know if i have body dysmorphia or its just insecurity but i hate taking pictures because i don’t like my face. I had horrible acne as a teenager and i imagined having surgery to have my skin exchanged with good normal skin. I wish i was taller. I wish i had wider hips. Im literally the only black girl with small black lips. I feel like im ranting but this feels good, letting it all out.

True💯
It’s refreshing to see an Asian (American) actress as a lead in a romantic teen comedy. I can’t remember ever seeing that when I was younger and it feels great to see it now. And especially without it being a cliche “Asian” role or as a funny side kick to the blonde bombshell.
It just felt so normal and I felt represented.
Yes fr. As an Indian, I never feel represented. The only American shows I can name with Indian actors are never have I ever and jessie(Ravi). And even then, they are the stereotypical Indians. I just want an Indian character who is just Indian, and not the stereotypical super cultural indian
But I’m so happy to see more diversity and to see Asian actors.
Yes it would be amazing to see an Indian lead actress too! All races should be represented in the arts. It makes no sense at all not to show more Indian actors In American films, they are so beautiful with their gorgeous skin, eyelashes and hair!
and the role of being asian doesn't feel forced in the movie either!! It's very natural :)))
she’s actually 100% Asian she was adopted by her parents in Vietnam
Lana Condor is literally so inspiring, she’s so humble and sweet. She’s also such a great actress and seeing someone I can relate to on the big screen is just so beautiful
“This mind and this body is the only one that we get”
Thanks for that reminder 💜
Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and think.. "wow you're so beautiful" then a few minutes go by and I think I'm the ugliest person in the world..
Same I alternate between liking how I look briefly and then going back to hating myself
i know how this feels. it’s horrible to constantly be in doubt
Same
it’s always refreshing seeing and hearing celebrities talking about their flaws ❤️❤️❤️
You sound miserable
Reminder that body dismorphia and other mental illnesses are not flaws! 🤎
Anticipating someone else talking about their flaws isn’t as healthy as you might think it is
Be blessed and covered by the blood of Jesus Christ
they're just humans tho? why is it so radical for celebrities to talk about flaws?
“Treat yourself like your best friend” is one of the best advices I’ve ever hear.
She’s such a nice person, she understands, she opens up, we all love her so much!
I relate with what she said about becoming more outspoken during the pandemic. I screamed at a guy last week who was a bully on the road and splashed a little old man head to toe in water by blasting through a huge puddle. I’m 100% done with people
I don’t think that’s what she meant by being outspoken😆but I agree with the people part
I really learned how to draw boundaries on the spot during the pandemic.
Yes . I LOVE IT lml
Ok but same. Some people really just be getting on my nerves
Good on you for doing what you did but also very brave because that guy could have potentially hurt you.
Speaking out helps. But then, you have to love yourself regardless of how big your stomach is, how big or thick your thighs are, how you're not so tall, how you're too tall. Whichever way your body is, It's adequate, it is enough!
I'm still learning to love myself daily, it's not easy but definitely, we will get there!!

Girl don’t worry you’re gonna appreciate it so much when you age because the roundness will keep your skin looking youthful for longer, it’s a gift

I also think that there is way more pressure to be thin for models or for professional ballerinas.

My beautiful Lara Jean so inspiring and brave. I hope i can find some exercise that truly i like, not only to lose weight but also for fun.. i get bored easily and i hate jumping
I get bored really easily too when I workout especially if I'm working out without a workout partner. But I highly recommend the fitness marshall he is so inspiring and uplifting he does dance videos. And then there's this girl on RUclips called Natacha Oceána were she does hitt workouts, they make you feel so powerful. Hope this helps.

Isn't that the truth? "You will never tell your best friend the things you say to yourself"
She's so beautiful
Yes! Gorgeous!!
Wow her advice😢, i was realize that i was so mean to myself by judging my own body
So vulnerable and so genuine. I’m happy for her for spreading awareness through her experiences. Nothing but love for Lana 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
To anyone with Body Dysmorphia, I too have it and quite severe. Yet, I've started to *think less* about my looks and more about how I can enjoy and make my life better. I will still over-exercise and visit various clinics to help erase my imperfections. However, I try to not think about it too much and rather focus on other things in life like career, vacations and hobbies. Eventually we all have to wither away. We're here for a good time not a long time.
This so inspiring...Lana Condor is such a beautiful human being!
I love her so much, she is so lovely and radiates such beautiful and bright energy. Lana is really one of the women I look up to in my life 😆🥺😊
she is so inspiring
Everything Lana said about being an introvert LITERALLY SAID THE WORDS RIGHT OUTTA MY MOUTH

Shes soo beautiful and amazing....this was such a vulnerable video that really shows how much of an inspiring person she is❤
My mother said having a round face as a teenager is a very good thing because as you get older you lose collagen. Which makes you look older
Yesss im going to be 30 soon and I still look 16
Just took a picture of myself and realised how ugly I am and I have been avoiding taking pictures.People cannot understand me because They think I am beautiful and I might be mad for thinking like this . I hate every single body part of me and every single thing in my face , i keep thinking how to fix everything .All of this sucks!
its so refreshing hearing a celebrity talk about mental health and something as common and prevalent as body dysmorphia. i love her so much i can't wait to see her in future films and projects
She is such a good role model. I feel like she and I look a bit similar in that we’re both Asian and short, and I appreciate the fact that she also isn’t super bone-thin. I’m not shaming anyone who is because I know some people struggle with gaining weight, but it doesn’t make me feel good about myself because even though I’m not “fat,” it makes me feel like I am when I see all these people who are so thin that I can see their bones poking out under their skin. She looks like a healthy weight and has a rounder face like I do, and it gives me a little bit of hope that maybe I’m not as ugly as I think I am and that if she can have bones that don’t show and a rounder face and be gorgeous, maybe I can too.
The Asian community has a very specific standard of beauty, Asians are expected to be thin, unhealthy thin. It's so sad because it's a never-ending struggle within yourself.
My love for her grows even more
Thank you for sharing lana! 🧡
I have accepted I have this problem but I don't know how to seek help in an African household
I can’t believe how incredibly relatable this was...
When she mentioned she loves her puppy 🐶 (not puppy anymore) and that she realized she was more introverted than she thought... I was like, Lana Condor is me 👁👄👁
She's so inspiring, I love her
She's so beautiful
Huge respect to Lana for speaking about this and being so brave and open. Love her so much!!
More power to u Lana!!! U r the bravest and preetiest!!!
I have a lean body but my thighs on the other hand is big. I have had my days disliking it! But I am growing to love my body for the way it is. It is tough but I am trying. It makes me insecure. I can't wear the dress I want tho.
I feel you
everytime I think about body dysmorphia I think I defintely don't see myself as others do... but what if I really am the way I see myself? what if it's true? all the facts speak for it! I don't wear small sizes, the scale on the number says I'm in the upper range, my height is what it is - I feel like a giant with all the focus on my legs and butt I honestly wish it was "just my imagination" but what if it isnt...? no one's ever told me "yeah but you're thin"
I wish she had a podcast. She is so amazing and honest and I would love to hear her speak on other topics ❤️
So pretty
Relating to a lot of this and feeling the realizing you’re an introvert during this because you’ve been forced to be an extrovert. Speak your truth we love to hear it 🤍
Awwwn oh my word
But I really do love and admire your body shape Lana. Ur body has always been goals to me 😩❤✨
Especially in ur movie To all the boys I've loved before ...
I'm watching this cause of my girlfriend and it makes me understand her so much more.
Jesus loves you!!!
I feel like Lana is definitely speaking to my soul. I've thought of my introverted self and having to expel being an extrovert but I'm truly an introvert. I'm totally okay being alone too.
You’re beautiful.
Don’t ever think otherwise
One of my favorite celebrities now
I love this. It’s true that half of the hateful things that I tell myself are things that I would never say to my best friend. Hearing a celebrity who is the same age as I am talk about her experience made me realize that they’re not immune to the same struggle that I deal with every day when I see myself in the mirror.
So inspiring. A fellow 23 yr old feeling seen and heard. Thank you.
She’s just so incredibly beautiful!!!!!
Lana is so great!
I just burst into tears at the end because it's really so hard and nobody that I know understands it
Is it just me or was anybody else constantly making sure there wasn’t eyeliner on her eye lid
I really understand her, I think I don't have body dysmorphia, but i'm really insecure and this has been really helpful. It's has been a journey, as she said. It's all too difficult after the pandemia, but also, has been something about talking to yourself in so many ways that I haven't done before....
I remember last year before the pandemic, i hated that my body was thin and i wanted to gain weight because I thought i wasn’t pretty enough and thick girls are gaining traction. I took supplements, ate a lot and gained a lot of weight and i stopped exercising. I liked how it felt. I felt more confident, clothes fitted me better, people asked me out, it felt good. But i became afraid of going overboard with the weight gain, so i started exercising and counting calories. It didn’t feel like i was losing any weight. During Christmas , i caught COVID-19 and i was sick for a month. I lost so much weight and i had to cut my hair. After i got better, i couldn’t recognize myself, i looked so different, i didn’t look like myself, i had long beautiful braids before my brother snipped it off with scissors. I hate that i had to cut my hair but it had to be done. I don’t know if i have body dysmorphia or its just insecurity but i hate taking pictures because i don’t like my face. I had horrible acne as a teenager and i imagined having surgery to have my skin exchanged with good normal skin. I wish i was taller. I wish i had wider hips. Im literally the only black girl with small black lips. I feel like im ranting but this feels good, letting it all out.
you are absolutely beautiful!!
Small lips??? You have awesome thick lips girlllll, don’t let the haters tell you otherwise 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@emmad5201 thank you 😊☺️
@@TheShopgirl052202 😭thanks
I really resonated with this - esp the part about realising you're more introverted than you thought. Turns out I really like being by myself too!
