Recognizing Life Dysmorphia
Life dysmorphia is a concept that manifests as a persistent sense of dissatisfaction despite external indicators of success and well-being. It extends beyond social media influencers, affecting society at large through comparisons driven by mimetic desire. The constant exposure to idealized lifestyles on social media fuels desires that lead to unhappiness, creating a cycle of unfulfilled aspirations. By acknowledging the concept of life dysmorphia and its impact on mental health, individuals can work towards reducing discontent and finding contentment in what they already possess.
