I used to think I was weird for not having any problems with the way I looked. >_> And I tried, too ! I'd look at myself in the mirror trying to find something particularly wrong and get bored within 10 seconds. Physical self-loathing is hard work. :')

But maybe the difference is really obvious for some people? But I've never noticed it on anyone in the street or anything so I know I'm unobservant but it can't be that bad???

EDIT : I spent a lot of time thinking about why this episode made me uncomfortable and I want to say I'm not trying to invalidate any body issues anyone has or say they're easy to overlook. My idea was more to point out how disliking the way we look has become so "normal" and "relatable" over all media that I feel like it pushes us to actually look for tiny things to nitpick on. I never compared myself to models ; it was teen novels and movies showing how everyone has something they dislike about themselves that made me feel like I had to do that too. Fortunately I was too lazy for that but I do feel like even though they're trying to make people feel better, those kinds of representations may actually contribute to the problem.

TL;DR That sequence in Mean Girls was pretty cool in that regard?
