How I Learned To Love My Body 

i’m a skinny as f i wear so many layers to hide my pencil like body

It happens very often to men.

Boys have many of the same body images as women do; it's just not discussed. While women have the unrealistic Barbie dolls to contend with, boys have GI Joe, Superman, Batman, etc with the ridiculous chest-waist ratios, abs, etc. And as boys develop into men, they have some definition of what a man is looming over them from military to athletes to lumberjack/manly man. And the fitness magazines get men, too, but sometimes, it hits them in all directions. Just a few months ago, Men's Health had some guy on the cover - ripped body, pecs, abs, etc...but...he was also an army medic turned Army Ranger turned ER doctor in real life who also does charity work. WTF!

*HEY GUYS* did you know ethnic Jews started the counter revolution of normal societies in America & Europe - google Frankfurt School

That's what I was gonna say

Kishan Vedia fair enough 😂 I'm mainly here for buzzfeed unsolved and the try guys

Aliya Kensler No. Do think about what people say in a negative way too, but learn to differentiate who says it to help you and who says just to bother. Because we need to see our faults to get better. :3

Aliya Kensler i wouldn't apply that to something as subjective as appearance. Your appearance is yours- everybody else's opinion is irrelevant and there are no right or wrong answers, but your science essay, for example? Yeah, you should probably listen if somebody has something (constructively) negative to say about it because there are right and wrong answers there

Thank you, I'm the animator :)

Haha i know that feel

yah chris, we're all in the same boat. keep at it!

I do too. Most body image resources are directed towards women sometimes exclusively, so to have recognition that men struggle with this too is a relief

Preach! And we need more comments like yours to help remind negative people :)

Phantastic Beasts Someone didn't have a calculator today, I had a spare. People were surprised I think I was even called cute lol, not sure. Just wanted to help someone since no one else had one, usually I'd be to shy to say anything, since I don't know those people.

Edgaras Karalkevicius - Nice!! It's really that simple :)

nahh learn to take criticsim, and be mentally strong.. cant expect evryone to be all nice and sweet to you

Kishan Vedia - Missing the point.

This... is not the point, haha

I think it kinda is. It is about learning to love your own body, but it is not wrong to help people achieving that goal easier. One compliment can mean a lot to a person ;)

I think as long as you don't mean it sexually then it'd be acceptable

my pleasure, but be careful!

PeanutBetter27 Only if you mean it.

hey thanks for watching it! it's hard with all the stuff out there to stay focused. keep at it =)

At least I have green eyes 😅

N Jackson i have no chin, goes on saying i have 2 chins

Describing Shrek? lol

N Jackson if u have double chin how do u not have a chin

N Jackson and every piece of you is made out of atoms... Atoms are awesome and so are you!

Well, they do usually. This was pleasantly surprising, though. I really really love the video.

Antonio Lolesio he already works out daily to combat his weight besides, a lot of people have unfortunate genetics which lead them to gain weight easily due to lower metabolism some just blatantly can't lose weight like those with hypothyroidism and people that already have diabetes in which case, telling them _not_ to accept themselves while they can't do crap about it is only going to make them hate themselves more

Liradu2 - Agree completely. It's extremely hard to change this way of thinking that you've been doing your entire life. I've been suffering for twenty years. That's a long time. And I'm STILL working on it! But I am no where near where I was ten years ago (or even five or two years ago). I've come across an interesting analogy that might help this make more sense. Think of your thoughts about yourself and your body as a well-travelled beaten path. It's so easy for your thoughts to go down that path, but the minute you want them to blaze a new trail (the trail of postive thinking and self-compassion), it's so much work to walk over the tall grass. It's tempting to just leap back to the beaten path, as you have always done. The more practice you have of thinking the new way - going down that unbeaten path - the easier it will become. Soon you will make this new path more-travelled and it won't be so hard to go down it. In turn, the old path of negative-thinking and self-loathing will soon grow over and it will feel less easy to go that way. It is a lot of work and I have days where I just want to curl up and do nothing but hate myself. But with enough practice, I know I will eventually change my thoughts

Liradu2 nope i have definitely tried. most of the issue is that i was born with anorexia and rn i'm 15 pounds underweight and i'm constantly told "oh you have a great body" but hey no i dont

ty

Campbell ya amazing

Thank you for not leaving a hate comment! You are the best!

have a good weekend!

Thank you for writing this☺️ I literally started crying, don't know why,tho. I've just had a rough day I guess. ❤️

lone wanderer not necessarily, everyone deserves to be loved and accepted even if they have trouble loving and accepting themselves

i, a random stranger on the internet, love you and can't fully comprehend what you're struggling with, but i hope you get to wherever you want to, and feel comfortable there. it's not my place to say, but don't let anyone make you feel less of yourself or your identity...ever. sincerely, a fellow member of the lgbt community.

I'd love to enjoy drawing again without rushing through it

good i'm glad!

This is what i say all the time 👌🏼
