Search Results: feeling insecure

This is a topic that gauged my interest as of late. I feel like this is a thing that should be addressed more often. I have heard from many now that they feel expected by society to look a certain way because of the entertainment industry. A look, that perhaps 1% of the population has, and most of the time, is not achieved in a way that's healthy, or natural. This eventually leads to eating disorders and what not, in many women.

I think men have an easier time pushing away these insecurities for whatever reason that may be. Even though on occasion I feel like people expect me to have a body like Chris Hemsworth when I take my shirt off at the beach, but in a minute or two I forget all about it and enjoy the ocean. But I feel like women have a harder time letting go of these thoughts and obsess over them even, which may or may not be due to biological reasons.

I wanted to make this poll just to kind of see where your thoughts lie regarding this topic, and whether it really is as widespread as some sources claim it to be.

Please be honest about your answer, as it might help other girls out there to know that they are not as alone as they thought in this matter.

Also feel free to elaborate on any further feelings you'd want to share.
