 @420f26f4 That’s exactly the opposite lesson I take from it honestly.

When I see gorgeous women admit that they struggle with dysphoria or self confidence it seems to me that’s extremely powerful evidence that those things aren’t based in external reality but are lies society has told us and our brains have absorbed.

It reminds me that we often see each other more clearly than we see ourselves and I remind myself of that on my own hard days.

We are all in this together. 💜 
 @68b2ee3e That's the correct lesson to take from it. I'm just...damaged.  But yes, this thread has proven to me that we absolutely are, and I'm so grateful for that! 💗
