Body Dysmorphia.

When people think about body dysmorphia, they usually picture someone standing in a mirror fixating on certain parts of their body or obsessing over their weight or even just not even fitting into societal standards. But rarely do people associate this with height. 

While many people tell us that our height is a gift, body dysmorphia, sometimes coined as height dysmorphia, is something that tall women struggle with because our height can distort the way we see ourselves. So today, we’re breaking down how body dysmorphia is ruining tall women's lives and how no one seems to give a f***. 

Tune in to the full episode for more on what exactly body dysmorphia looks like in tall women, what causes it, and how people are gaslighting us about it! 

~~ALSO A DISCLAIMER: I am not saying that any of the people in this episode have body dysmorphia; I’m simply sharing examples of what COULD BE. Take it with a grain of salt; I don’t have the credentials to diagnose anyone :)

Do you agree that body dysmorphia is ruining tall women’s lives? Do you believe that people gaslight us about our insecurities/dysmorphia? Let me know. And until then, I’ll catch you in the next one! 

Goodnight and goodbyyyyyeee,
