Embrace Presence Over Perfection
The phenomenon of Zoom dysmorphia highlights the mental health challenges that arise from self-scrutiny during video calls, especially evident during the pandemic. Many individuals experienced discomfort with their appearance due to constant self-viewing. To combat this, it is encouraged to turn off video cameras as a way to alleviate stress and promote engagement. Simply being present in audio is sufficient; prioritizing comfort can lead to more productive conversations. Recognizing the fatigue associated with prolonged self-image evaluation is essential, and embracing a more relaxed, authentic participation in virtual meetings can enhance overall well-being.
